Sonata for Piano and Violin in A major, Cesar Franck

DESCRIPTION
Unlike other late works by Franck, the Violin Sonata of 1886 found a friendly reception among critics and public from the outset. It is dedicated to Eugène Ysaÿe, who was attracting much attention at the time with his flawless violin technique. Ysaÿe was so inspired by the Sonata that he promised I will play this masterpiece wherever I can find an artistically-minded pianist. Nothing has changed to the present day regarding the works continuing popularity, but it was time to revise Henles previous edition to reflect the latest research. In the intervening period it has been shown that Franck was actively involved in reading the proofs for the printed edition, meaningthat the first edition, which contains many differences from the autograph, has become the basis for our new one. The markings of the violin part of our edition are by Yehudi Menuhin, Daniel Hope has undertaken the changes required by the revised musical text.
