Franck Violin Sonata, Mvt. 1
Cesar Franck (full name Cesar Auguste Jean Guillaume Hubert Franck) was a Belgian composer and virtuso organist. He only wrote one violinsonata, but it is one of the best-known sonatas today. He composed the Violin Sonata in A major for violin and piano in 1886 as a wedding gift for his friend and famous violinist Eugene Ysaye. This is the complete first movement from this sonata.
A few notes on the parts and instruments:
- The standard ("std") parts are the original parts and are designed to be played together.
- The alternate "a" parts, if present, are raised one octave (8va) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the higher instruments listed. They should work as long as they are above the other parts.
- The alternate "b" parts, if present, are lowered one octave (8vb) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the lower instruments listed. They should work as long as they are below the other parts.
- For example, using parts 1, 2, and 3 together is definitely ok. Using parts 1a, 2, and 3b together is probably ok. Using parts 1b, 2, and 3a together might not work well.
- Part ranges are listed in concert key, where C4 is middle C.
