Saint-Saëns, Camille - Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 75 - Violin and Piano - edited by Peter Jost - G. Henle Verlag

Camille Saint-Saëns: Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 75, for Violin and Piano – Henle Urtext Edition

Camille Saint-Saëns brings dramatic intensity and refined musical craftsmanship together in this powerful violin sonata. The Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 75, stands out among his most important chamber works, offering sweeping Romantic lines, brilliant passagework, and a finale famous for its exhilarating technical demands. Originally planned as a smaller duo for violin and piano, the work grew into a full sonata in autumn 1885. The first performances were more than disillusioning for Saint-Saëns, as the violinists came to grief with its virtuosic demands, in particular those of the finale. This sonata is an excellent choice for advanced violinists and pianists looking for expressive Saint-Saëns sheet music with serious recital, competition, and conservatory value.

This Henle Urtext edition presents Saint-Saëns’ Violin Sonata No. 1 in D Minor in a clear, reliable format for serious study and performance. Originally planned as a smaller duo for violin and piano, the work grew into a full sonata in autumn 1885. He told his publisher that it would be called the "Hippogriff Sonata”, implying that the violin part could only be played by a mystical figure. Since then the sonata has, by and large, lost its horrors and is now one of the best loved chamber music works by the French master, despite, or perhaps even because of its technical challenges. This edition offers performers a dependable score for chamber music programs, advanced lessons, auditions, competitions, and concert preparation.

Edited by Peter Jost, this paperbound edition includes piano fingering by Pascal Rogé and violin fingering and bowing by Antje Weithaas. With both marked and unmarked string parts included, this Henle edition is a valuable choice for violinists, pianists, teachers, and collectors of Saint-Saëns sheet music.
