Bach, 3 Sonatas & 3 Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001-1006

sku Product SKU:  BA5256

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Edited by Gunter Hausswald. Urtext edition. Baroque. Violin solo book. With introductory text. BWV 1001-1006. 60 pages. 9x12 inches. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag.

Contents:

  • Sonata 1, BWV 1001 G Minor
  • Partita 1, BWV 1002 B Minor
  • Sonata 2, BWV 1003 A Minor
  • Partita 2, BWV 1004 D Minor
  • Sonata 3, BWV 1005 C Major
  • Partita 3, BWV 1006 E Major

Without any doubt J.S. Bach’s cycle of the three Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 represents one of the pinnacles of classical European music. According to C.P.E. Bach a contemporary voice stated that there was „nothing more accomplished in order to become a good violinist“ than his father’s works. The cycle reflects the entire harmonic and polyphonic musical universe of Bach’s time, so masterfully composed that it can be rendered within the limited framework of but a single instrument – the violin.

The new publication of the Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 (BA 5256) constitutes a complete revision of our older edition (BA 5116). The musical text has been edited by Peter Wollny and represents the most up-to-date state of research as published in the New Bach Edition – Revised (NBArev), volume BA 5937-01. The edition is mainly based on Bach’s unusually clear autograph which is considered among the most beautiful manuscripts by the composer. All relevant secondary sources have been taken into consideration in order to clarify ambiguities. These include five contemporary copies, including one by Anna Magdalena Bach, and four manuscripts from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The musical text has been newly engraved with a clear and generous layout, whereby page turns and pagination have been retained from the previous edition. This allows the straightforward navigation between a copy of the previous and this new edition. The detailed Preface (Ger/Eng) provides information on the genesis of the Sonatas and Partitas, their context and the sources.

Franck: Violin Sonata arranged for Viola and Piano

sku Product SKU:  BA10918

Composed by Cesar Auguste Franck (1822-1890). Edited by Douglas Woodfull-Harris. Arranged by Douglas Woodfull-Harris. 31 x 24.3 cm inches. Text language: English, German, French. Introduction by Gudula Schutz.

Cesar Franck's Sonata for Piano and Violin is one of the most treasured works in the violin repertoire, a masterpiece of cyclic form with a gracefulness and expressive force almost paradigmatic for the age of musical Romanticism. This work was composed in 1886 and was dedicated to the Belgian violinist and composer Eugene Ysaye.

After Franck's death in 1890 the original publisher of the Sonata, the Parisian house Julien Hamelle, announced an arrangement of the work for viola, but it has not been possible to locate any copy of this publication. The present arrangement for viola is largely based on Jules Delsart's arrangement for piano and cello, the only version of the Sonata which the composer authorized. However, the viola part here also adopts extensive passages in their original register or remains in the middle octave, especially in those passages where the cello lies two octaves beneath the violin. Being set in the alto register, the part thus lies between the other two string versions, lending the Sonata a delightful hybrid hue beyond the brilliance of the violin and the sonorousness of the cello. The piano part has been left intact and is thus identical to that of the original version. The edition is rounded off by an informative text on the genesis and reception history of the Sonata.

Beethoven: Duet "with 2 obligato Eyeglasses" for Viola and Cello
EP3375AB

Key: Eb major. Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). Composed 1795-98. Edited by Stein Haas. Classical Period. Set of performance parts with editor's notes. Includies the Minuetto. 14 pages. 9x12 inches.

Beethoven himself called this sonata movement for viola and violincello "Duett mitzweiobligaten Ausenglasern" (Duet requiring two pairs of spectacles). This edition is the first publication after the original in the British Museum. There is a striking melodic resemblance between this duet and the first movement of Beethoven's string quartet in C minor, op. 18 No.4.

Brahms: Violoncello Sonata in E minor, Op. 38
HL51481134

Cello and Piano. Composed by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897). Edited by Egon Voss, Johannes Behr, Claus Kanngiesser, and Klaus Schilde. Arranged by Claus Kanngiesser and Klaus Schilde. Sheet Music. Paperbound. Henle Music Folios. Revised edition, with marked and unmarked string part. Paperbound. 58 pages. 9.25x12 inches.

The E minor Cello Sonata is the first work for one solo instrument and piano which the meticulous composer also had published. In summer 1865 Brahms offered it to the publisher Simrock as a sonata “whose two instruments are both absolutely easy to play” - and rightly so: contrary to the later F Major Sonata Op. 99 (51481135), this early sonata is technically less demanding, yet musically more striking at the same time, so that it is a hit with amateurs and professionals alike. Henle's new edition is based on the new Brahms Complete Edition and thus boasts, besides in-depth commentary, a musical text revised according to the latest scholarly findings. Includes a marked and unmarked cello part.

Debussy Sonata for Cello and Piano
BA9412

Cello/piano Sonata for Violoncello and Piano. Composed by Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Edited by Regina Back. Urtext edition. Playing score with critical commentary. 22/7 pages.

Debussy's Sonate pour violoncelle et piano was composed in the summer of 1915. It was the first of a planned set of six sonatas for various instrumental combinations of which Debussy only completed three. Imbued with that unmistakable Debussy charm this work has remained a standard in the repertoire since the premiere. It is without question the most performed cello sonata of the 20th century.

Regina Back's Urtext edition for the first time makes use of Debussy's sketches held in a private collection which contain not only an important comment by Debussy regarding the balance of the instruments but also clarify several musical ambiguities found in the autograph and first edition.Barenreiter's new Urtext edition comes with a detailed preface (German/English/French) elaborating not only on the genesis of the composition and its first performances but also providing performance practice information. The edition is rounded off with a facsimile and a Critical Commentary (English).
