Product Description

Originally composed for solo scordatura violin and continuo, this transcription for clarinet may be performed as an unaccompanied solo or with continuo parts available on IMSLP. The original violin part makes extensive use of double, triple, and quadruple stops, often to the extent of imitating multiple voices in counterpoint. This transcription attempts to imitate this effect through the use of grace notes and quick arpeggios. As in the original score, dynamics are not provided for the soloist, and may be freely added at the players discretion.
Performers will immensely benefit from listening to one or more recordings of violinists performing this piece to compare interpretations and performance practices. While this transcription largely follows the interpretation given on violinist Lina Tur Bonets excellent recording with the Musica Alchemica ensemble, the transcription is by no means intended to exclude other interpretations. Players may change whatever ornamental and rhythmic elements they wish in order to accomplish their artistic goals.

This transcription includes three options for key signature. Any of the three included versions may be played by any key/size of clarinet for unaccompanied performance.
1. Written key of C# minor, for Clarinet in Bcan be accompanied by the original continuo parts
2. Written key of D minor, for Clarinet in Acan be accompanied by the original continuo parts
3. Written key of B minor, for Clarinet in B or Aonly for unaccompanied performance

Performance notes, links to free IMSLP continuo parts, and links to recommended reference recordings are incuded in a separate page at the end of the PDF.
