Extra Information No.19, edited by Gevaert, is not in the David series. It may be a version of the Violin Sonata in G minor, HWV 368 by Handel which is No.55 in the Les Maîtres classiques du violon series. The Alard-Dessauer viola arrangement (untransposed) is Violin Sonata in G minor, HWV 368. Nos.21-22 were issued in 1931-32 edited by Paul Klengel (1854-1935).

Navigation etc.

  • Another viola version of No.2 (La Folia) by Konyus (Conus) is available on IMSLP here
  • Practical note: Violists will find that this is literally "high" school in the sense that most of them are transposed up a 5th, using David's original piano accompaniments. They are therefore quite difficult and un-violistic. Compare the two versions of the Vivaldi violin sonata in A: the high version from this series and the lower violin-fingered version by Paul Klengel.
