for Violin and Basso continuo-Handel returned repeatedly throughout his life to the composition of works for violin and basso continuo. The earliest autograph HWV 358 was composed around 1707 his last work for this combination of instruments the Sonata in D major HWV 371 stems from circa 1750. In addition to the 5 sonatas which have survived as autographs there are 4 other sonatas of a spurious nature which have found a place in the violin repertoire under Handel’s name although they are certainly not from his pen. These sonatas are attempts by other unknown composers to make a name by using the style of the great master. To round off thisfirst ever publication of Handel's Complete Works for Violin and Basso continuo there are two movements currently not available in any other performing edition: the Allegro HWV 408 and an Andante HWV 412. The Authoritative Performing Edition Edition with the recently-revised Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition First ever performing edition of the complete works for violin and basso continuo in one volume With separate violin and continuo bass parts the latter with figures Basso continuo part with figures including 2 movements not available in any other performing edition Includes valuable comments on performance practice An Associated Board recommended title “All violinists should buy this volume not only for its completeness and clarity but because it is exceptionally good value for score and parts.”(ESTA News Views Spring 2003)

Johann Pachelbel born in Nuremberg in 1653 a generation before Bach is one of Southern Germany?s most important post-Reformation organ composers. His compositions were already widely known at the time. The most popular worktoday is probably the canon with ensuing gigue in D major. The canon - according to the source ?a 3 Violinis con Basso c.? - is built up over an ostinato bass whose two bar fi gure is repeated a total of 28 times. The followingshort gigue is also in a strict contrapuntal style. It is not known when the work was composed. As with most of his other chamber music works Pachelbel might have composed it during his time in Thuringia between 1677 and 1695.This pleasing work is also popular with amateur ensembles.

Volume 2-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.

for Flute or Violin and Basso Continuo-Published in 1728 Telemann’s sonatas are ‘methodical’ according to the meaning of the word at the time of their publication as in addition to the plain melody line given to the soloist in the first movements they alsoprovide an ornamented variant each time. This is instructive and very enjoyable music for today’s flautists and violinists.Henle’s luxurious new publication offers a solo and basso-continuo part in which the twoinstrumental lines are aligned for orientation plus another part that gives only an unrealised (but figured) bass line. The Henle edition also includes a full score with a stylistically appropriate continuo realisation.
