Book Description

An arrangement of Corelli's sonata for violin and continuo (op. 5 no. 8). Violin part is unedited; it retains the slurs from the first edition (ca. 1700) and includes no bow direction markings and no fingerings. Continuo part has been arranged for piano; LH part matches the original continuo part but with figured bass markings omitted, and RH part is kept simple to facilitate playing by intermediate level pianists. The violin part includes passages that require shifting at least as high as third position.
