Volume 1-Score with realisation of the basso continuo by Tonelli as well as Corelli’s unrealized figured bass line With a separate Urtext violin partWith a separate unrealized figured continuo partIncludes a supplement with violin embellishmentsAppendices in both volumes with source descriptions and critical commentariesPreludes for keyboard instrument by Tonelli in the appendix of volume 2Arcangelo Corelli the violin virtuoso of his time published his Sonatas for Violin and Basso continuo opus V in Rome in 1700. These sonatas are a compendium of violin playing of his time and laid the groundwork for future violin compositions. Over the years the sonatas have been published innearly 100 editions all based on Corelli’s first edition which contains only the solo violin line above an unrealized bass line. Today the sonatas are well known in numerous modern continuo realizations. However a realization from Corelli’s time by Antonio Tonelli also exists and is presented here for the first time in a modern performing edition. This realization is surprising in that it contains full chords sometimes played by both hands. In addition Bärenreiter’s new scholarly-critical edition includes for the first time many violin embellishments. For the most part they have been found in handwritten documents by Tartini Geminiani McGibbon Dubourg and Roger (from a re-print of the sonatas from c. 1710). These embellishments are presented in a separate booklet which players can place alongside Corelli’s original on the music stand. Complementing this Urtext edition are a historical introduction a critical commentary and an appendix containing preludes to the sonatas for keyboard by Tonelli.
