{"product_id":"boosey-hawkes-bartok-bela-sonata-violin-89463","title":"Bartok Bela - Sonata - Violin","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Score\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Urtext edition of Béla Bartók's \u003cstrong\u003eSonata for Solo Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a particularly meticulous source, designed for demanding violinists as well as advanced teachers and students. Considered one of the pinnacles of the 20th-century solo string repertoire, the work combines polyphonic writing, timbral exploration, and rhythmic tension, with remarkable structural rigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editorial work, prepared by \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Bartók\u003c\/strong\u003e, strives to restore as closely as possible the indications present in the original manuscript. The most striking point concerns the \u003cstrong\u003equarter-tone passage\u003c\/strong\u003e, absent from the version used at the sonata's premiere: this reinstatement fully restores the modernity of Bartók's language and his palette of intonations, balancing expressivity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the musical text, this score is distinguished by a critical apparatus useful for interpretation. The extended preface sheds light on the genesis of the work and its aesthetics, while the reproduction of \u003cstrong\u003etwo letters addressed to Yehudi Menuhin\u003c\/strong\u003e recalls the importance of the collaboration with the violinist for whom the sonata was composed. A valuable content to better situate choices of phrasing, dynamics, and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe musical content unfolds in four movements: \u003cstrong\u003eTempo di ciaccona\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFuga\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMelodia\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ePresto\u003c\/strong\u003e. An essential score for working on mastery of polyphony on the violin, voice balance, coherence of discourse, and management of contrasts, while remaining as close as possible to the reference text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBéla Bartók\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eViolin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eUrtext Edition\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e32\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360127734035,"sku":"89463","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a50d9836e1621e368c19975a3b77e2e478258fc1_BH1000632.jpg?v=1789390887","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/boosey-hawkes-bartok-bela-sonata-violin-89463","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
