Hollitzer (2021)
It is the only Viennese opera of which a detached part for viola da gamba survives. This part, for Prima Viola da Gamba, contains - in addition to the solo parts of the two arias - the bass part of all the arias and symphonies of the opera. The viola thus played the bass in the entire opera, with the exception of the recitatives only.
