La disseminazione della musica di Giuseppe Tartini in Francia. Le edizioni settecentesche di sonate per violino e basso

Abstract

This article examines eighteenth-century French editions of sonatas for violin and bass by Giuseppe Tartini. Through the announcements in the Parisian journals and the catalogues of music publishers, it has been possible to establish the years of issue for op. 4 to op. 9 to the period 1747–1750. The comparison with the manuscript sources of Tartini sonatas allows to evaluate the reliability of these editions, of whom op. 6 and 7 result those with greater number of concordances, even if we have no knowledge of relations between Tartini and the French publishers.
