At a 1923
concert dedicated to the
music of J.S. Bach put on
by the great violinist
Joseph Szigeti, fellow
violinist and composer
Eugène Ysaÿe
(1858-1931) was deeply
moved and inspired,
leading to a sketch
produced in twenty-four
hours for a cycle of six
sonatas for unaccompanied
violin, each modeled
after the style of a
different virtuoso,
capturing something of
each performer's style in
the piece for whom it was
written. The final result
was Ysaÿe's Op. 27, Six
Sonatas for Solo Violin.
The work has remained
immensely popular since
it was composed, having
been interpreted and
recorded many times by
the very best violinists
of the past 100 years.
