Ysaye: Six Sonatas, Op. 27 - Violin Solo/Henle

Category: Violin Solo ** Title: Six Sonatas, Op. 27 ** Composer: Ysaye, Eugene ** Edited by: Norbert Gertsch ** Publisher: G. Henle Verlag URTEXT ** Difficulty: ASTA grade 6.

Eugene Ysaye was a legendary violinist who left a great legacy to modern players, especially in his 'Six Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27'. These sonatas are virtuosic works, each dedicated to other great violinists of Ysaye's day, including Enesco, Kreisler, and Szigeti. Like Paganini's པ Caprices', they stretch players to the outer limits of their physical capabilities; like Bach's 'Six Sonatas and Partitas', they are deep and rich in character. This Urtext edition contains the composer's original fingerings and markings, and is edited by Norbert Gertsch, with a foreword by Michel Stockhem.

Contents:
* Sonata No. 1 In G Minor (for Joseph Szigeti)
* Sonata No. 2 In A Minor, 'Obsession' (for Jacques Thibaud)
* Sonata No. 3 In D Minor, 'Ballade' (for Georges Enesco)
* Sonata No. 4 In E Minor (for Fritz Kreisler)
* Sonata No. 5 In G Major (for Mathieu Crickboom)
* Sonata No. 6 In E Major (for Manuel Quiroga)
