6 Sonatas for Solo Violin

Album by Eugène Ysaÿe & Stefan Tarara

Six Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27 is a set of solo violin sonatas by Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe, composed in 1923. Drawing on late-Romantic and early 20th-century harmonic language, the works employ virtuosic techniques, polyphonic textures and idiomatic violin effects, and occupy a pivotal place in the solo violin repertoire as a synthesis of baroque influences with contemporary harmonic and technical exploration.
