J H Roman

Sonata(?) in F minor for solo violin CM069

£4.00

This substantial fine 4-movement sonata is an important addition to the solo repertoire. Although there seem to be doubts about its authenticity, this does not detract from its quality.

J H Roman

Two movements in C major for solo violin (BeRI F1 and 349) CM089

    Two extraordinary pieces which modulate through numerous keys, some very remote indeed(!), both technically challenging, the second being a study in chords which moves key in a clear scheme passing though 23 other keys before reaching home again.

£4.00











































J H Roman

Allegro in A major (BeRI 250) CM090

    A lively movement of which only the violin part survives - the bass stave

is present in the MS but is blank. It could work well as a solo piece, but I have composed a continuo part for it.

score and part £2.00

J H Roman

Variations in E major (BeRI 242) CM091

    A delightful set of variations for violin and continuo, full of violinistic figuration, which somehow reminds me of Handel’s Harmonious Blacksmith!
