Misc. Notes Corrections:
1. (F)There should be a slur between A5 (beat four, m. 30) and B5 (downbeat, m. 31) in the first movement.
2. (G)There should be a tie for the A minor chord between measure 202 and 203 in the first movement.
3. (F)There should be a "nat." mark on measure 347 in the third movement.

The violin part is very legible and well edited. However, the large number of page turns makes it difficult to use. For example, the first movement is on seven pages compared to the three pages of the Mulder cello version.

Extra Information The Arpeggione (also known as the "Guitarre d'amour") was a bowed instrument with six strings somewhat between a guitar and a cello invented by the Viennese guitar-maker Johann Georg Stauffer (1778-1853) in either 1821 or 1823. It became obsolete after about 10 years, long before Schubert's sonata was even published.
