Giuseppe Tartini and his Pupils

Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770)

Sonata No. 1 in G from ‘Piccole Sonate’ CM081

(edited from a facsimile of the MS by Tony Urbainczyk)

violin part £3

score with realised continuo part £5

cello part £2

In a letter of 1750, Tartini refers to his collection of ‘Piccole Sonate’ and says that he is in the habit

of performing them unaccompanied. Some of the movements are unaccompanied anyway. This edition

gives violinists the chance to refer to the continuo part to see if there are places where they could add

double-stopping derived from the bass part to make a fuller texture - this has already happened in

places in the MS. These are enjoyable pieces to play and have been attracting more attention in

recent years. Follow these links for further information:
