Daniel Friderici, Johann Andreas Herbst, Johann Crüger. / Recueil / Violon et Orchestre

D major-Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto written for his friend Joseph Joachim has remained a standard in the concert literature since its first performance. No scholarly critical edition of this work has ever been published and therefore the many sometimes conflicting sources have never been evaluated for a critical performing edition. Not only Brahms' autograph score solo part and autograph Piano reduction but also his personal copies of the first edition score as well as the first edition orchestral parts have all been consulted. Clive Brown’s edition offers insights into the genesis of the composition and the working relationshipbetween Brahms and Joachim. The critical commentary comments on all discrepancies in the sources. The critical edition of Brahms' own Piano reduction is at the same time a performing edition and includes an informative introduction as well as comments on performance practice. In addition the Piano reduction includes a separate brochure with not only the well known Joachim cadenza but also those by J. Halir H. Heermann L. Auer and F. Busoni. An informative preface (Ger/Eng) with references to performance practice and a critical commentary are included in the edition First scholarly critical edition of this standard work Critical commentary (Eng) Insightful comments on performance practice An Urtext Violin part and an additional Violin part marked with fingering and bowing suggestions by Joseph Joachim Valuable cadenza brochure with cadenzas by Joachim Halir Heermann Auer and Busoni Full score critical commentary & parts (BA9049) and Violin & Piano reduction (BA9049-90) and study score (TP949) available for sale

Présentation Jean-Marie Leclair est le plus éminent représentant de l'école française de violon du XVIIIe siècle. Après plusieurs voyages dans le Piémont où il se forma à l'école italienne de violon, Leclair fit une carrière de soliste et de compositeur, à la ville, notamment au Concert Spirituel où ses concertos ont régulièrement été joués, mais aussi à la Cour en tant que violoniste de la Chambre et de la Chapelle royale. Ses concertos, d'une grande qualité formelle, ont une écriture particulièrement dense et contrapuntique, peu commune en France à cette époque et sans doute rapportée par Leclair de ses nombreux voyages à l'étranger.
