César Franck: Sonata In D Major: Viola: Instrumental Work

Cesar Franck Sonata in D Major arranged for Viola and Piano by Alan Arnold. Edited by Paul Arnold.

Unlike some of his other late works, Franck's Violin Sonata (HN 293), composed in 1886, was well-received by the public and critics from the very start. The beautiful arrangement for cello published in January 1888 distinguishes itself from the numerous other arrangements in that Franck expressly authorised it. The cellist Jules Delsart, who had heard a performance of the sonata in Paris in December 1887, was so delighted by it that he asked Franck's permission to make a transcription of the violin part for his own instrument. Delsart remained close to the original- he left the piano part unaltered and transposed the violin part only where necessary and appropriate into the lower register. / Violon

Arrangement for Violoncello and Piano by Carl HüllweckThe gourmet's delightIn 1876, ten years before César Franck's violin sonata in the same key, Gabriel Fauré made a major contribution to the first flowering of French chamber music with his A-major Sonata op. 13. He even found a publisher for it right away, namely Breitkopf and Härtel in Leipzig. Both the work and the composer were warmly acclaimed immediately after the publication: This sonata contains everything that appeals to the gourmet: new forms, wonderful modulations, unusual tone colors, unexpected rhythms. With this work of such modest appearance, Mr. Fauré has leapt to the top ranks of the masters in one bound. Thus wrote Camille Saint-Saëns with pride about his pupil's work. The publisher seems to have picked out a true gem from Fauré's 'uvre, for the sonata soon became very popular, and in 1889, Breitkopf and Härtel heightened this popularity by releasing an arrangement for violoncello by Carl Hüllweck. It is likely that Fauré not only approved the arrangement, but also proofread it. Long out of print, this edition will once again allow cellists to enjoy Fauré's violin sonata in a competent period arrangement.

Sonate Franck est une des oeuvres plus célèbres du répertoire de musique de chambre. Cette nouvelle édition, Wiener Urtext est basée sur la première édition avec les dernières corrections de Franck. Des incohérences entre le score de piano et de la partie solo sont dues à des annotations par le violoniste Eugène Ysaÿe, le dédicataire qui a été donné le travail comme un cadeau de mariage. Cette version, susceptible d'avoir été autorisé par Franck, est publiée pour la première fois dans une édition Urtext. Günther Ludwig, dans sa préface, suggère une approche soigneusement réfléchie, cérébrale à ce point saillant du répertoire. / Violon Et Piano / Partition
