With the exception of his opera sinfonia, the present first edition of the Six Violin Sonatas by Johann Adolf Hasse is the only instrumental work by this composer whose authorship can be verified through his handwritten entries in a manuscript copy. The composer gave these pieces a profile completely tailored to the instrument, a fact which places them in sharp contrast to those compositions which can be played by various melody instruments.

Kirchhoff was born in Muhlbeck (near Bitterfeld) in 1685 and died in Halle in 1746. He was (like Handel) a pupil of Zachov and in 1714 became Zachov's successor as organist and Director Musices at the Marienkirche in Halle. His violin sonatas, which were praised by Leopold Mozart, are very well suited for use in teaching the violin, as they are skilfully structured around the capabilities of the instrument. Especially recommended for friends of baroque violin music.

Every violinist whoundertakes a lifetime’s journey with this incredible repertoireis continually discovering new ideas. Thus, theopinions on the following pages may evolve over time.However, everything in the sheet music closely follows my2016 recording “Testament: Complete Sonatas and Partitasfor Solo Violin by J.S. Bach†(Avie 2360), which I trulyfeel represents the culmination of my exploration intothese extraordinary works.In choosing to present this edition, my hope is thatyou will find useful solutions to challenges of fingering,bowing, and polyphony, and helpful information aboutphrasing. I have also included additional dynamic suggestionswith the hope that trying these ideas will help inspireyou to discover your own. All of these markings aredesigned to work with a baroque violin and baroque bow,a modern violin and baroque bow, or a modern violinand modern bow.

A contribution to make the classical period accessible to the trumpet: Of medium difficulty, Kristin Thielemann's arrangements of performance pieces and sonatas by James Hook (1746-1827) are ideal for tuition as well as for auditions and competitions. Several songs of Hook were arranged as instrumental pieces and serve as a good start into this repertoire. More advanced players may try thesonatas. Apart from the frequently played Sonata Op. 99/3, even lesser known sonatas might be interesting for the trumpet because oftheir well-chosen keys.

In these sonatas he betrays his Italian leanings and especially his debt to the Italian violinist Carbonelli, who was his friend and possibly also teacher. Mixed in with the Italian elements are ones taken from English song, where Holcombe excelled. The result is a fascinating stylistic synthesis and a valuable contribution to violin literature.
