Overview

This is Volume II of Jean-Marie Leclair's Six Sonatas for Violin and Basso Continuo, continuing the essential Baroque repertoire from the acclaimed French composer, often referred to as "le cadet" (the younger) . Leclair (1703–1777) was a masterful violinist whose compositions are celebrated for their sophisticated blend of the refined French courtly style with the technical brilliance of Italian violin music.

This volume provides a further selection of his important violin sonatas, designed for the intermediate to advanced performer. The sonatas offer challenges in ornamentation, bowing, and expressive phrasing, crucial for mastering the Baroque style. Edited by Hungarian scholars Olivér Nagy and János Pallagi, this Editio Musica Budapest edition includes the solo violin part and a clearly realized keyboard reduction of the basso continuo (piano accompaniment), making these historically informed works readily available for modern performance, study, and teaching.

Áttekintés (Hungarian)

Ez a kiadvány Jean-Marie Leclair „le cadet” (az ifjabb) francia zeneszerző Hat szonátájának II. kötete, amely tovább gazdagítja a barokk hegedűrepertóárt. Leclair (1703–1777) mesteri hegedűs volt, akinek kompozícióit a kifinomult francia udvari stílus és az olasz hegedűzene technikai ragyogásának kifinomult ötvözése jellemzi.

Ez a kötet további válogatást kínál fontos hegedűszonátáiból, amelyek középhaladó és haladó előadók számára készültek. A szonáták kihívásokat jelentenek a díszítés, a vonókezelés és a kifejező frázisok terén, amelyek elengedhetetlenek a barokk stílus elsajátításához. A magyar tudósok, Nagy Olivér és Pallagi János által szerkesztett Editio Musica Budapest kiadás tartalmazza a szóló hegedűszólamot és a basso continuo egyértelműen megvalósított billentyűs átiratát (zongorakíséret), így ezek a történelmileg jelentős művek könnyen hozzáférhetők a modern előadáshoz és oktatáshoz.
