Poème Élégiaque Op. 12 and Other Works

Eugène Ysae’s famous 6 Sonatas for Solo Violin op. 27 (HN 776) belong to the canonical repertoire, but the pieces for violin and piano presented here also deserve a place on the music shelf of students and professional violinists. His Poème élégiaque op. 12 – probably the most famous work for this scoring is to be found in this collection, as are two first editions after newly discoveredmanuscripts from his estate. An Ysae specialist of the first order, Marie Cornaz contributes a preface that is full of new findings. Editor Ray Iwazumi – very familiar with Ysae’s work as both virtuoso and scholar – presents all of these pieces in Urtextfor the first time; his experience likewise proves beneficial for the fingerings in the accompanying marked part.
