In this study, life of Eugene Ysaye, a composer who has inspired violinists of both his era and today, violin’s place in Ysaye’s life, his reactions to social matters and his ‘Six Sonatas For Solo Violin’ which occupies a big place in violin repertoire are analyzed. Life of Ysaye is qualified enough to inspire and set an example to artists even 77 years after his death. When his works are studied, this intensity of sense and thought comes to the forefront. This study has been prepared in order to analyze Ysaye’s artistry and influences of his works and to transfer the results to the next generations.
