G. Henle Verlag Six Sonatas op. 27 - Ysaye/Gertsch - Violin - Book

Composer: Eugene Ysaye
Editor: Norbert Gertsch
Preface: Michel Stockhem
Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Solo Violin

First came Johann Sebastian Bach's sonatas and partitas, then Nicolo Paganini's caprices. Now, with the op. 27 sonatas of Eugene Ysaye, the key works in the repertoire for unaccompanied violin are available in urtext editions from Henle. Ysaye peppered these challenging works with extraordinary difficulties, dedicating each of them to a virtuoso violinist of his day and tailoring it to suit his special capabilities. Thanks to newly discovered source material, Henle are able to present a "definitive text" that in many respects supersedes the previously available text from the first edition.
