Pergolesi/Roman
Two arrangements of movements from Pergolesi’s ‘Stabat Mater’ by Roman for solo violin CM013
£2.00
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!
score and part £3.00
J H Roman
Largo for cello and continuo (BeRI 254) CM118
score and part £3.00
J H Roman
Solos in C minor (completed by Tony Urbainczyk) and A minor CM113
£4.00
sheet music by Roman for solo violin
