BA 9571 Score with part
Originally written for violin
and orchestra between 1873
and 1877, Dvořák’s Romance
immediately followed his
String Quartet in F minor (1873)
and draws on the theme of its
slow movement.
Our edition is the first to avail
itself of the recently
rediscovered autograph of
Dvořák’s own version for violin
and piano. Compared to the
well-known piano reduction
by J. Zubatý, it differs from the
orchestral version in several
important respects and is also
one bar shorter. Our new
edition, containing the
composer’s more authentic
version, can nevertheless also
serve as a piano reduction to
the orchestral version.
“A pristine, unencumbered
violin part is enhanced by an
equally spacious piano score.”

BA 9576 Score with part

BA 9425 Score with part
Cesar Franck’s Sonata for Piano
and Violin is a masterpiece of
cyclic form with a gracefulness
and expressive force almost
paradigmatic for the age of
musical Romanticism. This
work was composed in 1886
and was dedicated to the
Belgian violinist and composer
Eugène Ysaÿe.
Franck’s correspondence
proves that he was directly
involved in the printing of the
sonata. Consequently, our
scholarly performing edition
draws mainly on the first
edition of the separate violin
part. For the piano part, the
first edition of the version for
violoncello and piano, which
appeared during Franck’s
lifetime, was an important

source as many engraver’s
errors found in the first
printing of the violin version
had been corrected in this
violoncello version. In addition
to these sources, both
autograph scores of the violin
sonata (Franck’s working copy
and his fair copy) were
consulted to clarify
questionable readings.
Bärenreiter’s edition also
includes two short separate
movements for the same
instrumentation: the early
Andantino quietoso op. 6 (1843),
a hauntingly beautiful piece
composed for performances
with Franck’s violinist brother
Joseph, as well as Mélancolie,
first published after Franck’s
death in 1911. This second piece
is based on a solfège exercise
and written at the height of the
composer’s creative powers,
at about the same time as his
famous violin sonata.
The edition is rounded off by
an informative text on the
genesis and reception history
of the three compositions
(Ger/Fr/Eng), a complete list of
sources, editorial notes and a
Critical Commentary (Eng).
