Description
Giovanni Battista Viotti was a fascinating musical figure who bridged the 18th and 19th centuries. Trained in the Corelli violin tradition, his eventful career linked the virtuosic music of the past to the bourgeois concert culture emerging in Paris and London. Viotti's 29 violin concertos stand at the heart of his oeuvre, with No. 22 being the most popular.
This new Henle Urtext edition re-evaluates the first printed editions, as no original manuscripts have survived. The resulting musical text is free of inauthentic additions. Violinist Friedemann Eichhorn, an expert in the virtuoso violin repertoire of this era, has provided fingerings and bowings. The edition also includes several cadenzas that have become part of the concerto's performance history. The result is a comprehensive, authoritative resource for performers.
