Vitali Chaconne - Jascha Heifetz

Tomaso Antonio Vitali (March 7, 1663 -- May 9, 1745) was an Italian composer and violinist from Bologna, the eldest son of Giovanni Battista Vitali. He is known mainly for a chaconne in G minor for violin and continuo, which was published from a manuscript in the Sächsische Landesbibliothek in Dresden in Die Hoch Schule des Violinspiels (1867) edited by German violinist Ferdinand David). That work’s wide-ranging modulations into distant keys has raised speculation that it could not be a genuine baroque work
