Description
At a 1923 concert dedicated to the music of J.S. Bach put on by the great violinist Joseph Szigeti, fellow violinist and composer Eug�ne Ysa�e (1858-1931) was deeply moved and inspired, leading to a sketch produced in twenty-four hours for a cycle of six sonatas for unaccompanied violin, each modeled after the style of a different virtuoso, “capturing something of each performer’s style in the piece for whom it was written.” The final result was Ysa�e’s Op. 27, Six Sonatas for Solo Violin. The work has remained immensely popular since it was composed, having been interpreted and recorded many times by the very best violinists of the past 100 years. Sonatas and dedicatees: 1. Sonata in G minor (Joseph Szigeti); 2. Sonata in A minor (Jacques Thibaud); 3. Sonata in D minor (George Enescu); 4. Sonata in E minor (Fritz Kreisler); 5. Sonata in G Major (Mathieu Crickboom); 6. Sonata in E Major (Manuel Quiroga). Reprint edition.
