Naji Hakim a écrit cette pièce virtuose pour le Concours international d'orgue de Breda qui se déroule aux Pays-Bas en 2012. Dans les premières mesures, le morceau séduit déjà le public avec des figures de doubles croches brillants et les battements d'accords dans le style classique toccata qui sont adaptées de façon magistrale les possibilités techniques de l'instrument. Un interlude de réflexion (Adagio) apporte un peu de paix et de calme, de jouer avec tonalement charme chaînes triadiques. Le morceau brillant concert de quatre minutes se termine par un final virtuose. / Partition /

Born in 1955 Lebanese-French composer organist and improviser Naji Hakim studied under Jean Langlais at the Paris Conservatoire before succeeding Olivier Messiaen as organist of the Saint Trinity Church in Paris. Considering his significant musical training Hakim's compositions are created from a wealth of knowledge and understanding Concerto For Violin being no exception. Composed in 2002 Concerto For Violin with String Orchestra or Piano reduction accompaniment is highly modern in composition. With a typical performance lasting about 35 minutes the concerto is made up of three movements. Thesolo Violin line addresses many virtuosic techniques including double and triple stops articulation complex rhythms varying bowings and a huge range of performance directions amongst other aspects. For all advanced violinists seeking varied modern repertoire Hakim's Concerto For Violin is an essential addition to the repertoire. This is a reduction for Violin and Piano.

Intended as pedal keyboard solos these organ pieces cover the range C1-F3. The first Étude-Caprice  Scherzando is a bouncy piece in arch form. The declamatory style of the second  Mesto forms a striking contrast: bass and treble registers set out distinct motives as though dialoguing in a play. In the second part of this movement a new motive  tenebroso is developed over a swaying ostinato in the lowest register. The third piece Giocoso is a badinerie (banter) with a Stravinskian theme. The last Étude-Caprice  Alla russa juxtaposes three strophes in toccata style.
