First came Johann Sebastian Bach’s sonatas and partitas, then Nicolò Paganini’s caprices. Now, with the op. 27 sonatas of Eugène Ysaÿe, the key works in the repertoire for unaccompanied violin are available in urtext editions from Henle. Ysaÿe peppered these challenging works with extraordinary difficulties, dedicating each of them to a virtuoso violinist of his day and tailoring it to suit his special capabilities. Thanks to newly discovered source material, we are able to present a “definitive text” that in many respects supersedes the previously available text from the first edition.
首先是約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫的奏鳴曲和組曲,然後是尼科洛·帕格尼尼的隨想曲。如今,隨著歐仁·伊薩伊的Op. 27奏鳴曲的問世,無伴奏小提琴曲目中的經典之作也以原始樂譜的形式由亨勒出版社出版。伊薩伊在這些極具挑戰性的作品中設置了非凡的難度,並將每一首作品都獻給當時的一位小提琴演奏家,並根據其獨特的演奏技巧量身定制。由於新發現的原始資料,我們得以呈現一份“權威樂譜”,它在許多方面都超越了先前第一版的樂譜。
