Love Mark Bennett's playing....

If that's a curved bow it adds grace and charm as well as acoustic overtone gems.

Violin insertion in the last movement brings to mind J.S.Bach's Sinfonia in D major BWV-1045 from the lost cantata.

Evidence, please, that the guitar was a generally accepted continuo instrument and not just a drawing-room toy … what next, a frame drum?

[@davidconner8502]

Manfred F. Bukofzer, Music In The Baroque Era (From Monteverdi to Bach), London: J. M. Dent & Sons (1st UK edition 1948), p. 26: "The basso continuo ... required at least two players, one to sustain the bass line (string bass, or wind instrument) and the other for the chordal accompaniment (keybooard instruments, lute, theorboe, and the popular guitar)."

[@user-ov7nq5ki3m]

Thanks! It’s fine to quote MB… but can you refer me to a reliable contemporary pictorial sourc, or to an actual contemporary account, or to any contemporary musical score or part, or book on continuo realisation that represents or mentions the guitar ?

[@davidconner8502]

Hey there :) honestly, very reliable contemporary sources discussing very archaic things are a bit hard to come by! I don’t disagree with you - the guitar was probably less likely to be chosen as lute/theorbo. Maybe it depended on region, patron or kapellmeister’s preference? But I don’t see any reason to disregard it completely as a possibility.

[@davidconner8502]

I also found the below but haven’t verified. Handel scored a cantata with guitar. 1682 ‘Matteis in The False Consonances of Musick’ gives instructions for playing continuo on Guitar. Like 1714 ‘Resumen de acompaner la parte con la guitarra’ by Murcia
