about

Rudolph Dolmetsch (1906-1942), second child of Early Music pioneer Arnold Dolmetsch, was an accomplished composer, keyboardist, and is regarded as the first modern viola da gamba virtuoso. His 1929 Caprice is widely considered the earliest 20th century work composed for the viola da gamba since the instrument disappeared from wide use at the close of the 18th century. Rudolph entered the Royal College of Music in 1936 where turned from a focus on smaller chamber and solo works towards larger symphonic compositions, including the 1941 Concertino for Viola da Gamba and Small Orchestra.Tragically, it was to be among his last works as he drowned at sea when the Ceramic was torpedoed off the Azores by German forces in 1942.
