| 释义 |
Eugène Ysaÿe's Six sonatas for solo violin, Op. 27, is a set of sonatas for unaccompanied violin written in July 1923. Each sonata was dedicated to one of Ysaÿe’s contemporary violinists: Joseph Szigeti (No. 1), Jacques Thibaud (No. 2), George Enescu (No. 3), Fritz Kreisler (No. 4), Mathieu Crickboom (No. 5), and Manuel Quiroga (No. 6). General backgroundAfter having heard Joseph Szigeti perform Johann Sebastian Bach's sonata for solo violin in G minor, Ysaÿe was inspired to compose violin works that represent the evolution of musical techniques and expressions of his time. As Ysaÿe claimed, "I have played everything from Bach to Debussy, for real art should be international."[1] In this set of sonatas, he used prominent characteristics of early 20th century music, such as whole tone scales, dissonances, and quarter tones. Ysaÿe also employed virtuoso bow and left hand techniques throughout, for he believed that "at the present day the tools of violin mastery, of expression, technique, mechanism, are far more necessary than in days gone by. In fact they are indispensable, if the spirit is to express itself without restraint."[2] Thus, this set of sonatas places high technical demands on its performers. Yet Ysaÿe recurrently warns violinists that they should never forget to play instead of becoming preoccupied with technical elements; a violin master "must be a violinist, a thinker, a poet, a human being, he must have known hope, love, passion and despair, he must have run the gamut of the emotions in order to express them all in his playing."[3] Sonata No. 1, G minor, "Joseph Szigeti"Sonata No. 1, in four movements, was dedicated to Joseph Szigeti.
Sonata No. 2, A minor, "Jacques Thibaud"Sonata No. 2, in four movements, was dedicated to Jacques Thibaud, a friend of Ysaÿe's.
Sonata No. 3, D minor, "Georges Enescu"This sonata is a single movement titled "Ballade," in two sections:
The first performance of this sonata was given by Josef Gingold. Sonata No. 4, E minor, "Fritz Kreisler"
Sonata No. 5, G major, "Mathieu Crickboom"
Sonata No. 6, E major, "Manuel Quiroga"The dedicatee never played this sonata in public. It is written in the style of a Spanish habanera, with a turbulent middle section, and notable for rich texture and chromaticism and scale passages. It is a one movement work, with the marking of "Allegro giusto non troppo vivo". RecordingsThe complete "Six Sonatas" have been recorded by: {{div col|colwidth=30em}}
