Tartini, Sonata for Violin Solo in D Major (Schott)

$33.95

Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) is best known for the Devil's Trill Sonata, but he composed many concertos and sonatas for strings, especially the violin. The 'Sonata in D Major for Solo Violin' is a technically demanding yet precise work, featuring slow movements like the Andante cantabile and the Largo section titled "TASSO," based on a Venetian gondola song. The playful Minuet reflects the post-Baroque spirit, while the Allegro assai combines intense and sentimental passages. An ambiguous movement is repeated after the Minuet, completing the structure of the sonata.

Tartini, Sonata for Violin Solo in D Major (Schott)

Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) is best known for his work, the Devil's Trill Sonata. However, this piece is just one among many concertos and sonatas he composed for strings, particularly for the violin. The 'Sonata in D Major for Solo Violin' is technically challenging yet uncluttered. The slow movements, including the introductory Andante cantabile and the Largo section titled "TASSO," are based on the melody of a Venetian gondola song, providing the soloist with opportunities for expressive, lyrical playing. 

The playful Minuet captures the spirit of the post-Baroque era, while the second movement, Allegro Assai, features a compelling mix of intense passages and charmingly sentimental sections. The distinctive ambiguous movement is repeated after the Minuet, completing the structure of the solo sonata.
