Summary of This Score
The Violin Sonata in A Major (1886) is one of César Franck's most beloved works, enthusiastically received at its premiere by both the public and critics. Dedicated to the violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, a major figure of his time, the work combines generous melodic inspiration with a solid structure, featuring a true sense of discourse and harmonic color.
This edition emphasizes the quality of the musical text. Research has established that Franck closely followed the proofreading of the printed proofs: this publication is therefore based on the autograph manuscript while integrating significant contributions from the first edition, to offer a coherent, well-documented, and musically convincing version. For performers, this is an essential asset: articulation, dynamics, and writing details gain clarity, facilitating both learning and preparation for concert performance.
The violin part additionally benefits from high-level annotation. The playing indications and fingerings aim to support phrasing fluidity, sound projection, and mastery of technical transitions, without betraying the spirit of the work. The involvement of Yehudi Menuhin brings an expert musical vision, while Daniel Hope offers adaptations related to the revised text. The result is a score that is both demanding and practical, designed to assist the violinist and pianist in precise work on style, balance, and dialogue between the two instruments.
