Sonata in a minor for Violin and Basso continuo-There has been increased general interest in the Bohemian composer Johann Baptist Georg Neruda (c. 1711 1776) over the past few years especially due to his frequently played trumpet concerto. A respectedviolinist and longstanding member of the Dresden Court Orchestra he did however mainly compose for the Violin. The substantial and technically quite demanding Violin Sonata in a minor was published for the first timeever in 1982 as part of Henle's edition ?Bohemian Violin Sonatas? (HN 334). Henle are now proud to present it in a practical single edition with a new preface as well as an additional unmarked part.

While the value of authenticity in the performance of Baroque music is now widely appreciated many players still feel daunted by the task of realising the unadorned melodies and basses of Corelli’s Op.5 Violin Sonatas in their original form.Fortunately Gustav Jensen’s edition of these works provides an ideal solution to the problem. Carefully fingered and bowed with the continuo sensitively arranged for harpsichord or modern piano it presents the notated elements of a spirited and musically satisfying reading while still leaving room for performers to shape their own interpretation.This volume includes sonatas No.7 and No.10 both composed on the sonata dacamera pattern and the celebrated La folia variations with which Corelli concluded his collection. Fiery and virtuosic they have remained a favourite item in the violinist’s repertoire since their publication in Rome in 1700.The solo violin part is also included on a separate insert.

Edited by Jeremy DibbleA key figure in the so-called English Musical Renaissance Parry was a considerable composer of chamber music. His three violin sonatas the first of which in d minor is here published for the first time along with the Fantasie-sonata and Sonata in D major date from the 1870s and 80s and are contemporary with his four symphonies and setting of Milton's Blest Pair of Sirens . They are fine additions to the string repertoire and will be greeted enthusiastically by violinists seeking new material for recitals. Performing editions of each sonata are available separately.First published in 2003. Hardback

for Violin and Piano-Brahms had already announced his ?retirement? from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter apparently renewed his enthusiasm for Mühlfeld?s much admired playing and inspired him to write two Clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year.Brahms conceived an alternate version of the works for Viola from the beginning and already before the publication of these two versions he intended to do another one for Violin a version which was to require changes and was to result in an independent edition. While the Clarinet and Viola versions havedeveloped a rich performance tradition the Violin version is almost unknown. Yet for the Violin version the composer revised the original Clarinet part much more extensively than he did for the Viola version and also rewrote the Piano part to achieve a thoroughly convincing Violin and Piano idiom. This Bärenreiter edition aims to bring the neglected Violin Sonatas Op. 120 back into players? hands.An important part of this edition is the extensive preface. Firstly it informs about the sonatas? origins their compositional process pre-publication performances their publication history as well as early reception. Truly remarkable is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors start from the premise that already a few decades after Brahms' death a widening gulf developed between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners treatises and essays early instructive editions and historical recordings the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. By a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing dynamics and accentuation dots and strokes slurring and non legato Piano pedalling and overholding Piano arpeggiation and dislocation string instrument fingering string instrument harmonics and vibrato the editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the works.At the same time the edition offers an exciting and

6 Sonatas for Piano and Violin op. 10 (b)-Weber composed an incredible array of compositions in his rather short but at the same time tireless life. Many of them have still to be discovered. The Six Violin Sonatas op. 10 (b) composed inDarmstadt in 1810 are most certainly amongst them. The individual movements are rather short and also not particularly difficult technically. The music is on the other hand all the more compelling which is partly due to thevarious integrated dance forms: ?Carattere Espagnuolo? and ?Air Polonais? in Sonata No. 2 ?Air Russe? in No. 3 ?Siciliano? in No. 5 and a ?Polacca? in No. 6.

Leopold Mozart was only able to understand his son?s musical genius in terms of it being a God-given wonder: ?That my boy [...] knows all of this with his 8 years that could be expected of a man of forty years. In short: whoeverhas not seen or heard it cannot believe it?. In 1764 Wolfgang composed six sonatas in London possibly after the model of Johann Christian Bach?s ?Opus 2? that can either be played as piano trios as violin sonatas or simplyon the piano. ?Royal? sources were consulted for the edition: the copy in the British Library bears the handwritten note: ?This Volume belongs to the Queen 1788?.With marked and unmarked string parts.

Of Grieg?s three Violin sonatas the great C-minor Sonata op. 45 is the best known today. And unjustly so because the two early sonatas are captivating in their joy to play and their fresh youthful tone. And what is more they can also be played by advanced students due to their somewhat lesser technical demands. Written in 1867 the G-major Violin Sonata op. 13 palpably draws on Grieg?s enthusiasm for Norwegian folk music; the lively outer movements in particular take as their model the traditional ?jumping dance.? Aside from the second print edition of 1887 revised by Grieg himself the autograph manuscript in Stockholm wasalso consulted for this edition thus offering an optimally ascertained musical text.
