Domenico Colla

Domenico Colla was an 18th-century Brescian composer and performer who traveled Europe in the 1760s, performing in the most important theaters and salons. Together with his brother Giuseppe, he was one of the Colla brothers. The brothers played in royal circles; they performed before Frederick the Great in 1765 in the palace at Sanssouci. The brothers played the colascione and colascioncino and guitar. Each sonata lists either the colascioncino or colascioncino of two strings. *Sonata in G major *Sonata in G major *Sonata in D major *Sonata in E major *Sonata in E-flat major *Sonata in F major References External links *British Museum, drawing from 1749 by Ghezzi that preceded the later 1752 engraving by Oesterreich. *RISM page for Domenico Colla; has link to pages about his works. *Record for Colla’s sonatas in Dresden library. * Colla’s sonatas in RISM.
