Description
his edition contains all of Janá ek’s works for Violin and Piano - the Sonata as well as the Romance and Dumka, composed while he was still a student.
Though probably written as early as 1914, Janá ek’sSonata for Violin and Piano was revised several times before finally appearing in a definitive version in 1922. This new edition of the Sonata and the Romance is based on the Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leoš Janá ek(Vol. E/1) with a clearer notation to optimise readability.
For the Dumka the editor has drawn on the sole autograph source, the Violin part (still considered lost when the above mentioned Complete Edition volumewaspublished), and the revised version contained therein. Unlike the first edition, it also contains Janá ek’s detailed dynamic markings.
