Sonatas, Vol. 1: Op. 5, Nos. 1-6 - Violin and Piano

Arcangelo Corelli, the violin virtuoso of his time, published his “Sonatas for Violin and Basso continuo opus V” in Rome in 1700. These sonatas are a compendium of violin playing of his time and laid the groundwork for future violin compositions.

• Score with realization of the basso continuo by Tonelli as well as Corelli’s unrealized figured bass line
• With a separate Urtext violin part
• With a separate unrealized figured continuo part
• Includes a supplement with violin embellishments
• Appendices in both volumes with source descriptions and critical commentaries
• Preludes for keyboard instrument by Tonelli in the appendix of volume 2

"[T]his handsome Barenreiter publication is all that both the Baroque adicionado and modern player could wish for in its clear spacious text -informative introduction covering the sonatas' provenance, with additional notes on ornamentation; keyboard realisation; and featuring strikingly illustrated facsimile pages."
