Edizione Critica Di Italo Vescovo. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. Paganini’s Sonata a violino solo (M. S. 6), composed during his Lucca period (1805-1809), forms part of a series of music written for solo violin that has failed to attract the attention of both performers and scholars interested in Genoa’sfamous violinist. This work – published several times in the nineteenth century (especially outside Italy, with various titles: Duetto per un violino solo, Duo Merveille, Meraviglia di Paganini word etc. ) – is divided into twomovements ( Adagio – Allegro molto ). Paganini used a two-staff system of musical notation to produce two distinct levels of sound, as well as graphically: pizzicato on the lower line, arco on the upper. It is a short, pleasing piece, containing all the typical characteristics one expects from Paganini: melody and instrumental virtuosity. This critical edition, based on the autograph kept at the Biblioteca Casanatense in Rome as part of a collection of the most important editions from the 1800s and 1900s, is intended to provide scholars and performers a philologically reliable textthat revives the original version. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Violon
