Carlo Farina (c.1600-c.1640) was one of the early composers to take the Italian violin style to Germany. Although not widely known, he was apparently one of the early virtuosi along with Marini and Salomone Rossi. The present program comes from a Dresden publication of 1627. Farina was one of the specific composers to set the stage for Rosenmüller.
