VI Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27

Album by Eugène Ysaÿe & Sergey Khachatryan

Six Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27 is a set of solo violin sonatas by Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe, composed in 1923. Marked by virtuosic technical demands, richly chromatic harmonies and frequent references to Baroque solo-writing, the sonatas synthesise late-Romantic and early 20th-century idioms and occupy an important place in the solo violin repertoire and in Ysaÿe's late-career output.
