Johann Peter Kellner has long since been recognised as one of the most prolific copyists of J. S. Bach's works. Copies of at least forty- six Bach compositions survive in Kellner's hand, while many more have been lost. Most of his surviving copies were of organ and clavier compositions of Johann Sebastian, although there are some notable non- keyboard works amongst his copies as well. The best known of these are the two sets for solo string instruments: the six Cello Suites and the Violin Partitas and Sonatas. Kellner was a skilled organist and cantor, but without prominent expertise in playing a string instrument; therefore the reasons behind his endeavour to make these copies are intriguing. According to handwriting studies, both sets of copies stem from the same period, yet internal evidence suggests that they seem to have been based on models of very different calibre. As neither of those models survived, any evidence pointing to what authorial script Kellner actually copied can only be circumstantial. Kellner's dependability as a scribe has often been questioned in the past because of his obvious copying mistakes. However, a re- evaluation of the evidence suggests that the problem may have been not his copying but the quality of the exemplars he was working from. If that is true, then the authority of his copies may need to be significantly reassessed. This paper will take a fresh look at his work as mirrored in his copies of the Violin and Cello Solos.

There are important studies in the Bartók literature that deal with the form and content of the finale of Bartók's First Violin Sonata. Our picture of the work has been enriched by many important points following from analyses based on rondo form and sonata- rondo form (Kárpáti, Kroó, Laki, Seiber, Tallián, Griffiths, Stevens, Wilson) as well as from those exploring the complex structures that arise from a comparison with other works of the composer - above all the Third String Quartet (Somfai, Kárpáti), together with analyses that focus on the folk music roots of the thematic material (Somfai, Ujfalussy). Following in these footsteps this paper examines the finale in relation to other violin works composed by Bartók up until the middle of the 1930s, and offers a few observations in contribution towards a deeper understanding of the piece.
