The “Devil’s  Trill” Sonata is the most famous of the violin sonatas of Giuseppe  Tartini  (1692–1770).  In the new  scholarly-critical edition, it holds many a surprise in store.  For the first  time, all available contemporary sources have been consulted to produce an  edition  closely approximating  Tartini’s  lost autograph. The  solo part offers several  ossia  passages and  alternative articulation marks, and the score have been given an eminently  playable realization of  the continuo part offering ample scope for improvisation. Also for the first  time, this edition  includes a separate part for violoncello or violone.<br>

A detailed  preface sheds light on the genesis and subsequent reception of this sonata.  There is  also a critical report discussing and evaluating all sources used and providing  explanations of a  number of important passages, including the famous trill itself.<br>

 Of the many violin sonatas by Giuseppe  Tartini , this remarkable work still forms part of the  essential repertoire. Until now however, it has not been available in a  scholarly edition with critical  report. Players will discover many surprises in the new figured bass  realization. It also contains,  for the first time, a separate continuo part for violoncello.<br>
