Tartini's famous sonata, in its original version, was first published in 1799. It is notated on two staves only (violin part and bass line). In the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, several outstanding violinists produced their own editions of the work, with elaborate, rewritten piano parts, even more virtuosic additions to the violin part and, more often than not, a cadenza of their own. The version of the Belgian virtuoso Vieuxtemps, who also achieved lasting fame as a composer, is an outstanding example of this tradition. As the title of the present volume states, he also produced a version for string quartet, but this arrangement of the accompaniment is not included here. The identity of "Vincenzo Mariotti" is unknown. (21792)
