The
one-movement, yet
multiple time structured,
sonata uses a gently
modern tonal language and
has been influenced by
the French tradition.
Emile Naoumoff likes to
give his movements
unusual headings that
perfectly describe the
character of the
respective section. The
piece for the combination
of viola and piano, which
is quite rare in concert
life, is a valuable and
fascinating addition to
the repertoire in which
both instruments conduct
a dialogue on an equal
basis.Naoumoff was born
in Sofia in 1962. At the
age of 8, he began his
career as a pianist and
composer; for ten years,
he was a pupil of Nadia
Boulanger until her
death. At the age of 10,
Naoumoff composed and
performed his own piano
concerto under the
direction of Yehudi
Menuhin. Many prizes,
awards and appearances as
a celebrated pianist
followed. Today Naoumoff
lives and works as an
associate professor at
the School of Music of
the Indiana University in
Bloomington. He holds
master classes in the
USA, Europe and Japan and
is director of a music
academy.

Very little is
known about the two
sonatas which appear here
in their original keys.
They were placed in the
library of the Music
School in Oxford at the
end of the seventeenth
century in a form
convenient for playing
(i.e.unbound). The
library was catalogued by
Hake between 1850 and
1855 and the sonatas were
eventually bound in 1855
with other instrumental
and vocal manuscripts of
the same period, some of
which are dated
1698.
The
sonatasare both inscribed
on the title page Sonata
Violone Solo. Col Basso
per l'Organo, o Cembalo.
A third sonata bears the
words Sonata Violino e
Violoncino â?¦ di
Giovannino del Violone.
Giovannino (=Little, or
Young John)musthave been
a performer, and although
the third sonata has been
copied by a different
hand, it is conceivable
that Giovannino is a
connecting link between
the three. He cannot,
however, be assumed to be
theirauthor.
The
Violone was a
six-stringed instrument
with frets, and there is
evidence to suggest that
the Contrabasso of the
same period was similar
but probably a little
larger; the Violoncino
(=Little Violone,
orVioloncello) must have
been smaller. The word
'Violone' was also used
as a collective term
embracing all members of
the Viol family, which
means that the sonatas
might well have been
written for a tenor or a
bass Viol, and
notnecessarily a Violone
as such. Indeed, when
they are played on a
Violone, or Double Bass
the continuo bass line
must be played at a lower
pitch than the solo
instrument, to prevent
inversion of the intended
harmony. (The use ofa
Violone/Double Bass
continuo or 16' organ
tone would overcome this
problem.)
The
editor has added no
ornaments or
embellishments to the
solo part as it appears
in the original
manuscript. It is open to
debate whether aViolone
player, owing to the very
nature of his instrument,
would have used any but
the simplest melodic
decorations.
Nevertheless, the
performer should acquaint
himself thoroughly with
those seventeenth century
traditions thatare known
today (see Dart.
