Bärenreiter’s pioneering<br />
edition offers today’s<br />
musicians a comprehensive<br />
approach to Brahms’ works,<br />
which aims to place them in<br />
their historical context and to<br />
elucidate the complex of<br />
meanings that the composer<br />
expected his notation<br />
to convey to performers.<br />
The edition comes not only<br />
with an Urtext part freed from<br />
all editorial emendations, but<br />
also with an additional part<br />
including fingering and bowing<br />
based on the practices of<br />
contemporary players.<br />
“This edition of these<br />
beautiful pieces is worth a<br />
lifetime of study for any violist.”<br />

Cesar Franck’s Sonata for Piano<br />
and Violin is one of the most<br />
treasured works in the violin<br />
repertoire, a masterpiece of<br />
cyclic form with a gracefulness<br />
and expressive force almost<br />
paradigmatic for the age of<br />
musical Romanticism.<br />
After Franck’s death in 1890<br />
the original publisher of the<br />
Sonata, the Parisian house<br />
Julien Hamelle, announced<br />
an arrangement of the work<br />
for viola, but it has not been<br />
possible to locate any copy of<br />
this publication. The present<br />
arrangement for viola is largely<br />
based on Jules Delsart’s<br />
arrangement for piano and<br />
cello, the only version of the<br />
Sonata which the composer<br />
authorized. However, the viola<br />
part here also adopts extensive<br />
passages in their original<br />
register or remains in the middle<br />
octave, especially in those<br />
passages where the cello lies<br />
two octaves beneath the violin.<br />
Being set in the alto register,<br />
the part thus lies between<br />
the other two string versions,<br />
lending the Sonata a delightful<br />
hybrid hue beyond the<br />
brilliance of the violin and the<br />
sonorousness of the cello. The<br />
piano part has been left intact<br />
and is thus identical to that of<br />
the original version.<br />
The edition is rounded off by<br />
an informative text on the<br />
genesis and reception history<br />
of the Sonata (Ger/Fr/Eng).<br />
