Summary of This Score
With Edward Elgar and his Violin Sonata op. 82, one enters a dense, expressive, and deeply personal page, composed in an emotionally charged context. During the summer of 1918, while Elgar was staying in the countryside, news announcing the imminent end of the First World War rekindled his creative energy: in a few weeks, he drafted the first sketch of this great violin sonata. He himself soberly noted in his diary that he had "written a little music," while his wife Alice described it as "superb" music, different from what he had written before.
This Henle Urtext Edition highlights the work with the rigor expected of an Urtext: it is based on extensive documentation (sketches, drafts, fair copies of autographs, corrected proofs, first edition) to offer a version as close as possible to the composer's intentions. The editorial work, entrusted to Rupert Marshall-Luck, is aimed both at demanding musicians and educators seeking a reliable resource.
For the violinist, the presence of fingerings provides real reading comfort and a relevant working framework: they guide intonation, position shifts, and phrasing construction, while leaving room for interpretation. The fingerings by Klaus Schilde complement the approach, offering useful options depending on the hand, bow, or desired aesthetic. An ideal score for deepening Elgar's style, refining sound projection, and working the melodic line with great musical rigor.
