Six Sonatas for Solo Violin

Album by Eugène Ysaÿe & Oscar Shumsky

Six Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27 is a set of six solo violin sonatas composed by Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe in 1923. The works combine virtuosic demands with contrapuntal textures, late-Romantic expressiveness and early 20th-century harmonic experimentation, employing extended techniques and idiomatic writing that reflect Ysaÿe's roles as performer and pedagogue and mark a significant development in the solo violin repertoire.
