Description
Composers: Joseph Haydn
Editors: Andreas Friesenhagen, Ulrich Mazurowicz
Cadenzas: Kurt Guntner
Format: Softcover, Urtext Edition
Instrumentation: Violin and Viola Duo
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 violin which 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 » at Esterhazy’s court. Today these duos enjoy great popularity, particularly for teaching purposes. Henle are proud to present the definitive edition following the text in the Complete Edition of Haydn’s Works – with the addition of specially composed cadenzas.
