Baroque Violin Pieces is a four-volume graded anthology which acts as an introduction to the style and repertoire of Baroque music for solo Violin and Continuo.

This volume has been edited by Richard Jones. The solo violin part is also included on a separate insert.

Arrangeur: Cho-Liang Lin. Over the wonderfully enjoyably years of conducting, there have been so many fine encounters with the Mozart Violin Concertos - mostly with very gifted players like Menuhin, Oistrakh, Stern and, more recently, Cho-Liang (Jimmy) Lin. There have, however, been instances (only a few, I'm pleased to say) when I've come, in the performances, to dread the onslaught of those cadenzas, which sound like a send up of Paganini, or belong to the wrong century with a plethora of double-stopping lasting too long, venturing into tonalities Mozart would not have recognized. After several performances with Jimmy came a request from him for suitable cadenzas that showed off the solo violin while commenting on Mozart's music he had just played. They worked, and Sony asked us to record them all and, with the welcome inclusion of Jaime Laredo, all the rest of Mozart's violin and orchestra repertoire. This led to in an invitation from Schott to have the cadenzas published, and this is the result. / Classique / Recueil / Violon

For Solo Violin-Dr. Lawrence Golan's edition of Bach's masterpieces for solo violin combines the authenticity and accuracy of a Scholarly Urtext Edition with the practicality and helpfulness of a Performing Edition. A facsimile of Bach'sautograph manuscript was used in the preparation of this edition and the composer's intentions have been preserved to the last detail. Of particular note is the fact that all stems have been beamed together as they appear in theautograph manuscript. This is of great importance when making interpretive decisions regarding dotted rhythms. Helpful fingering and bowing suggestions are provided by the editor but are clearly distinguished from Bach's originalnotation allowing the performer the freedom to accept or reject any given suggestion. The volume comes complete with Dr. Golan's essay 'Performing Bach: Dotted Rhythms and Trills in the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin 'which also includes scholarly discussions of vibrato fingerings bowing styles and ritardandos in Baroque music. The inclusion of this comprehensive study of Baroque performance practices makes this edition a must for anyviolinist interested in performing the Bach Sonatas and Partitas in an historically informed manner.
