Fasch is a fairly well known composer who wrote works in a variety of forms and instrumentation.
His concerto in Dm is in the large Dresden collection (Mus.Ms. 2423.v.1) scored in four parts with lute: two violins, viola, Lluto, cembalo/basso (unfigured). Note that the lute is written in the C1 clef but generally with no bass - it can be supposed that the cembalo/basso line was used with the staff liuto line to create a complete working lute part. Fasch also wrote parts for other plucked instruments in his works: including a concerto requiring two gallichons. And, indeed, the Dresden 'liuto' concerto discussed here also fits pretty well on the D mandora/gallichon - and I've performed it thus............... Other concertos with four part strings of note from this period include those by Krebs and Kohaut. Hopkinson Smith made a decent CD including some of these concertos (with the Fasch) in 1999: Auvidis Astree France E 8641. I believe Ruggero Chiesa made a modern staff transcription of the work in the 1970s.

Is this concerto in print anywhere, or facsimile? No mention of the lutenist, BTW. r -- To get on or off this list see list information at [1]http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- References 1. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
