Claude Debussy had difficulties finishing his last major work, the
Sonata for Violin and Piano. This can be seen in the many drafts
which have been handed down and the fact that the cycle for which
it was conceived was left unfinished. The melancholy work originated
under the impact of the First World War.
The first edition, published during the final year of Debussy’s life,
contains many rhythmic errors. The non-autograph metronome
marks and the discrepancies between the separate violin part and
the violin part in small print in the piano score are two problems that
have affected the work’s later reception. Both are examined here in a
fresh light.
In addition to the Sonata, this edition contains arrangements of
La fille aux cheveux de lin, Il pleure dans mon cœur and Minstrels
by the American violinist Arthur Hartmann. It was Hartmann who
inspired Debussy to make his own arrangement of the well-known
piano piece Minstrels, also included in our edition.
