(replaces HM 278) The 'Devil's Trill' Sonata is the most famous of the violin sonatas of Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770). In this scholarly-critical edition, it holds many a surprise in store. For the first time, all available contemporary sources have been consulted to produce an edition closely approximating Tartini's lost autograph. The solo part offers several ossia passages and alternative articulation marks, and the score has been given an eminently playable realization of the continuo part offering ample scope for improvisation. Also for the first time, this edition includes a separate part for violoncello or violone.A detailed Foreword sheds light on the genesis and subsequent reception of this sonata. There is also a Critical Report discussing and evaluating all sources used and providing explanations of a number of important passages, including the famous trill itself. / Violon Et Basse Continue

Separate bass part for performance e.g. with cello accompaniment.Schott Violin Library includes eleven contrasting Baroque sonatas for violin and continuo bass. Besides popular and well-known sonatas by Corelli, Vivaldi, Handel and Telemann there are also delightful less familiar compositions by Dall'Abaco, Pepusch and Finger, among others. All these pieces are at lower to intermediate level. Some of them can be played in first position throughout, while others require just a few position changes, but the sonatas by Dall'Abaco, Kirchhoff, Vivaldi and Handel require fluent use of the first three positions. The pieces brought together in this book are the best-loved works from the popular series Schott Violin Library (VLB) and other violin repertoire published by Schott.
