Unveiled Mysteries II
Although they include descriptive effects, the Rosary Sonatas seek above all the subtle adaptation of the colour and sound of each piece to the expressive implications of the mystery they represent. To achieve this, Biber turned to the scordatura procedure, that is, the unconventional tuning of the violin strings. Only the first of the sonatas and the final Passacaglia require the normal tuning of the instrument, by fifths. Constructed with the characteristic formal freedom of the stylus phantasticus, each sonata is a world open to experimentation, fantasy and the emotional impact of the listener.
