URTEXT EDITION 
This “urtext” or “scholarly” (scientific) edition was published at least 25 years ago in Germany and thus is public domain in its country of origin. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum ‘threshold of originality’ to qualify for copyright as an ‘adaptation’. It may not be public domain elsewhere, however. More information about this can be found here.

Misc. Notes As with Hermann's arrangements in Die hohe Schule des Violaspiels, these have not been transposed down a fifth as one might expect, and are therefore much more difficult that the violin originals, requiring frequent use of the fifth position where the violin is in a more comfortable third position. Hermann also arranged the violin sonatas BWV 1023 and 1024 for viola in the Hohe Schule series. Cleaned, centered and letter-sized by JDH.
