Antonio Vivaldi : Complete Sonatas for Cello and Basso Continuo

Performance Score and Parts-This scholarly-critical edition is based on all the known sources whether printed or handwritten that have come down to us for these frequently played pieces. By closely scrutinizing the source material the editor has arrived at interesting findings that considerably differ from earlier editions of these works. Rather than taking as her principal source Le Clerc’s 1740 print of Sonatas I to VI – an edition probably made without the composer’s consent – the editor has examined the Naples and Wiesentheid manuscripts prepared under Vivaldi’s direct supervision. The editor has also managed to identify a previously unknown source forSonata RV 44. All departures from the sources in the printed text and all editorial additions are listed in the critical report. Cellists are thus given ready access to every alternative reading including deleted bars and the many inevitable variants in articulation. A detailed preface provides essential information on sources and their assessment with a section on performance practice offering valuable suggestions on interpretation. All of Antonio Vivaldi's works for violoncello and continuo in a single edition Scholarly-critical edition for performance purposes Detailed preface on sources and performance practice (German/English) With new findings that considerably differ from earlier editions 'This edition is invaluable for all performers of the Sonatas .' (Ensemble January 2004) 'This is certainly the definitive edition of these works.'(Strings August/September 2003)

Instructional edition with notes on performance style and practice edited by Cinzia Barbagelata-This publication is intended to offer violinists -- whether students professional players or amateurs -- a simple but complete guide for the performance of Antonio Vivaldi's music introducing them to his style and more generally to that of the late Baroque Italian violin repertory with an informed approach to historical performance practices which are largely unfamiliar to players who are not early music specialists. The five sonatas in this volume have been edited for performance on either a modern or a Baroque violin with realizations of the basso continuo part suitable for accompaniment on the piano organ or harpsichord. They are presented in progressive order of difficulty from a fairly linear and direct writing style to one that is more unpredictable and fanciful embracing interpretative possibilities ranging from measured and straightforward to brilliant and mature according to individual preference and ability. When approached in this order their study facilitates the incremental acquisition of meaningful stylistic insight into the composer and his milieu. This volume is an invaluable tool for understanding and exploring the work of Antonio Vivaldi. The imaginative and irresistible vivacity of his music brimming with disarmingly poignant melodies and rendered in a language that is both concise and immediate ensures its extraordinary ability to remain forever fresh through the ages.
