Six Sonatas for Violin and Viola Hob. VI:1?6-The title ?Solo per il Violino? which Haydn gave these sonatas in his ?Entwurf-Katalog? (the handwritten catalogue he maintained of his own works) already gives us an indication: it is only the Violinwhich is treated as a solo instrument in these six sonatas the Viola has an accompanying role. Haydn might have written these ?soli? for himself; but they also might have been for Luigi Tomasini the ?first violinist? atEsterházy?s court. Today these duos enjoy great popularity particularly for teaching purposes. We are now proud to present the definitive Henle edition following the text in the Complete Edition of Haydn?s Works withthe addition of specially composed cadenzas.

Around 1800 Beethoven seems to have completely distanced himself from chamber music for wind. In letters to his publisher we read that he did not have any particular regard for his Septet op. 20 and the Sextet op. 71; furthermore he did not write any new works for wind ensembles.By contrast he ennobled his Trio op. 87 originally for two oboes and cor anglais by making an additional version for two violins and viola. This charming work ispublished following the Urtext in the Beethoven Complete Edition and is a welcome addition to the repertoire for these instruments for which a great deal has not otherwise been composed.

Après son déménagement à Vienne (1781) Mozart ne retourna qu?une seule fois à Salzbourg sa ville natale en l?occurrence en compagnie de sa jeune épouse Constanze de la fin juillet jusqu?à la fin octobre 1783. Ce séjour a laissé peu de traces et il semble que Mozart n?ait guère composé. Seuls deux délicieux duos pour violon et alto ont vu le jour au cours de ces quelques mois et semble-t-il uniquement par amitié pour le compositeur salzbourgeois Michael Haydn (frère cadet du grand Joseph Haydn) qui pour des raisons aiguës de santé ne pouvait répondre à une commande qui lui avait été faite. L?édition Urtext de Henle repose sur des autographes soigneusement copiés. Lapremière édition ? dont la valeur documentaire est contestée ? ne parut qu?en 1792 peu de temps après la mort de Mozart. En sus d?une partition complète de cette admirable page de musique de chambre intime la présente édition est assortie pour le confort des exécutants de parties séparées dépliables.
