Catalogue Note
Rare : l'édition de Roseingrave est une version augmentée de l'édition originale de 1738 de Fortier, qui comprend les douze sonates additionnelles (nos.31-42), et qui fut pour beaucoup une très grande source d'inspiration. De plus, cet exemplaire contient des annotations manuscrites de l'époque et a appartenu à Cecilia Arne (née Young, 1712-1789), qui fut l'une des plus grandes sopranos anglaises du XVIIIème siècle.
Rare: Roseingrave's edition is an expanded version of Fortier's first edition of 1738, and includes twelve additional sonatas (nos.31-42), for many of which this is the primary source. This copy is furthermore of exceptional interest, since it contains a number of contemporary manuscript annotations, and was once owned by Cecilia Arne (née Young, 1712-1789), one of the finest English sopranos of the eighteenth century.
