Six Sonatas for Solo Violin

Album by Eugène Ysaÿe & Giovanni Guzzo

Six Sonatas for Solo Violin is a set of six solo violin sonatas by Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe, published in 1923. The works showcase a virtuosic and expressive late-Romantic to early 20th-century idiom, exploring advanced technical challenges and extended harmonies, and represent Ysaÿe's mature compositional approach that expanded the solo violin repertoire.
