Chaconne

In this authoritative parallel edition of the world famous Chaconne we trace the development of the piece from its inception as a student work up to the ground-breaking Romantic arrangement made by the 19C violinist Ferdinand David. Along the way we compare the two works side by side to reveal both the corrections necessary to a proper realisation of the original and the stylistic enhancements that David brought with his arrangement of the work. In addition to a complete critical commentary and the fully corrected and annotated edition of the original work for continuo and violin we present for the first time, the previously unpublished definitive edition of David's arrangement for piano and violin prepared from his private working copy and a new revised edition of the Hermann arrangement for viola which may be performed as an alternative to David's violin part.
