Heinrich von Biber, born in Bohemia, was at one time in the service of the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, occupying the post held in after years under a later Archbishop by Mozart. Biber's reputation as a violinist was very great all over Germany; his own compositions for the violin show that his execution must have been of a very high technical proficiency.

His use of double stopping and of abnormal tuning of the strings (scordatura) were in advance of his times. Scordatura has been often employed; by later composers to secure particular; effects, whether of tone or brilliance. The method is to tune one or two strings up or down a half or a whole tone, and read from the music as though these same strings had been tuned normally, often with piquant or brilliant effect. Originally, the well-known tune of 'Sir Roger de Coverley' was played with the G string tuned up to A, but read as G. Nowadays, of course, such music is transcribed and scordatura tuning is not employed.

The eighteenth-century Spanish composer, Pablo Esteve, is famous for the great number of Tonadillas he composed. The first Tonadilla, a form invented by Luis Misson, was written by him in 1757. It is a duet between a gypsy and the landlady of an inn with all the possibilities of the scene set out in music; and most of those that followed written by Misson, Esteve, and others were sketches from popular life on those lines. Goya's paintings, Phil May's drawings, Dickens's Sketches by Roz ' are counterparts in other fields of art of the fascinating, though neglected, Tonadilla. The second act of Puccini's La Bohème might be called an extended and elaborated Tonadilla.

The Capriccio in B minor and the Rhapsody in G minor, both composed within a short period of one another, are often coupled together in the same programme, since each contrasts so admirably with the other. The Capriccio is dainty, light-hearted, and fanciful in Brahms's most fascinating fey-like manner, while the Rhapsody reflects an entirely different mood ; it is full of a passionate utterance, its subjects are broad, sweeping and vigorous, and the whole work is singularly impressive.
