Six Violin Sonatas, Op. 27 - for Violin solo by Eugene Ysaye (1858-1931). Edited by Norbert Gertsch. For Solo Violin. Violin. Henle Music Folios. Pages: IX and 48. Solo part. 66 pages. G. Henle #HN776. Published by G. Henle (HL.51480776).

Thanks to newly discovered source material, we are able to present a “definitive text” that in many respects supersedes the previously available text from the first edition.
