2me Polonaise brillante pour violon avec acompagnement de piano op.21 Henryk Wieniawski wrote only two polonaises. The first one, op. 4 in D minor, is one of his youthful works; the other, op. 21 in A major, is one of the last works he composed. Moreover, H. Wieniawski is the co-author of another polonaise, op. 8, for violin and piano, which he wrote with his brother Józef Wieniawski, a pianist. The latter polonaise, like the Polonaise in D minor op. 4, is also a youthful composition (1852). The polonaise as a genre, therefore, does not occupy much space in Wieniawskis heritage. Nonetheless, both polonaises, in D minor and A major, constitute an essential part of his artistic inheritance. Likewise, both polonaises had been composed in two versions: for violin and orchestra, and for violin and piano. The Polonaise in A major was completed in 1870. It is not known precisely which of the versions, the one with the piano, or the one with the orchestra first came into being. It was the version with orchestra that the composer performed for the first time on 17 March 1870, in the Grand Theatre in St. Petersburg. But merely two months later he performed the Polonaise in Warsaw, accompanied by his brother Józef at the piano. It is quite possible that Wieniawski had already performed this version of the Polonaise. It is certain, nonetheless, that both versions either appeared simultaneously, or one was composed shortly after the other. From its first public performance until the end of his concert career, Wieniawski often included this Polonaise in his concert repertoire, playing one version or another, the choice depending on the needs and circumstances. Just to mention one occasion, he played the orchestral version during a concert tour of Sweden in 1870, when he dedicated and presented a manuscript of this piece to King Charles XV of Sweden. The dedication, however, was changed in print, and both versions were eventually dedicated to François van Hal. Both versions were published simultaneously, by Schott Publishers in Mainz, with the same plate number, though the orchestral version appeared only in parts, which was a common practice in those days. The piece was most probably not published earlier than 18751. The Polonaise was praised by the critics. The reviews reported that it was a magnificent piece2, and this opinion was shared by later critical reviews, both Russian and West European. The Polonaise remained popular after the composer had died, which is evident from the number of later editions of the piece (more than ten) issued by different publishers, mostly German, and prepared by different editors. In Poland, the Polonaise was published twice after the Second World War. All the editions introduced some more or less significant changes into the text, mostly concerning performance indications, but in a sense blurring the composers intentions. All those changes were pertinent to the violin and piano version, and it was mostly in this form that the piece appeared in concert and teaching repertoires. The performances with an orchestra were much more seldom which was, among other factors, due to limited availability of the orchestral version, as it had never been published again after the first edition, until now. The Polonaise in A major was composed approximately at the same time as the Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor3. This convergence in time had influenced a certain similarity with regard to both composition and technical means, and also to the themes. In particular, the similarity becomes quite obvious in the second theme of the Allegro in the Concerto, and in the theme of the Polonaise. The Polonaise in A major is also in a certain way similar to the first Polonaise (in D minor), the motifs of the themes in both polonaises are alike. However, both pieces differ in style. The Polonaise in D minor shows the composers fascination with technical writing. Wieniawski makes the most of double-stops, chords, and all other sophisticated virtuoso techniques. The Polonaise in A major, written 18 years later, is much more mature. Although it is a virtuosic piece as well, the techniques used are somewhat more limited and subordinated to the expression. The virtuoso character of this piece is more fragile, much closer to the brillant style. At the same time, the Polonaise is typical of Wieniawskis violin playing technique. Here the composer uses the means regarded by his contemporaries to be typical of him, e.g., long staccato fragments played with one bow. The Polonaise is a concert piece in one movement extended form with a considerably abbreviated return of the first section at the end. The middle section is contrasting in character, due to the modulation to F major, change of tempo (meno mosso) and the reduction in the number of instruments (in the orchestral version). All the sections show thematic similarity. The first section, too, consists of three subsections, including a contrasting middle subsection (in E major). Zofia Chechlińska Footnotes 1.

Par PEPIN CAMILLE. Lorsque Claire Bodin [1] m'a proposé d'écrire une pièce en hommage à une compositrice du passé, j'ai choisi de rendre hommage à Lili Boulanger (1893-1918). Compositrice et orchestratrice hors-pair, elle était également une très belle femme, généreuse et courageuse, oeuvrant à l'arrière du front pour les civils et soldats mobilisés durant la Première Guerre Mondiale - et cela malgré la maladie et sans jamais cesser d'écrire. Première compositrice à remporter le Grand Prix de Rome en 1913, elle ouvre une voie jusqu'alors non reconnue aux femmes. Son succès éclaire la présence féminine dans un domaine jusque là 'réservé' exclusivement aux hommes. Rendre hommage à Lili Boulanger, c'est non seulement rendre hommage à l'incroyable femme et musicienne qu'elle était, mais aussi à cette voie qu'elle a ouverte aux compositrices des générations futures. J'ai choisi d'écrire une pièce inspirée de la mythologie hindoue, en hommage à sa Vieille Prière Bouddhique achevée en mars 1917. Indra sera ainsi créée en mars 2017 - soit cent ans après la conception de l'oeuvre de Lili Boulanger ! Indra est le dieu de la guerre et de l'orage. Ses attributs sont l'éclair et l'arc-en-ciel. Doté de pouvoirs magiques, Indra affronte le serpent Vrtra qui retient les eaux célestes, faisant ainsi souffrir le monde d'une grande sécheresse. Indra le combat et délivre les eaux du ciel en transperçant les nuages. Tel est le mythe qui m'a inspiré. J'ai eu envie d'écrire une pièce rythmique, puissante et énergique, pour rendre hommage à la force et au courage de Lili Boulanger en tant que femme artiste. Lui rendre hommage aujourd'hui sans prendre en compte sa condition de femme est un luxe que l'on ne peut pas encore se permettre. Qui plus est, il m'a semblé tout naturel de choisir ce thème plein de vigueur pour cette oeuvre dédiée à la pianiste Célia Oneto Bensaïd et la violoniste Raphaëlle Moreau qui en feront la création. Tout l'enjeu de cette oeuvre était de représenter cette force et cette volonté : comment rendre cette vivacité et cette fougue de l'orage - de ce combat - avec seulement deux instruments ? J'ai ainsi conçu une pièce alternant des épisodes nerveux et pulsés - guerrier - à des épisodes plus légers et dansants - vif, aérien. J'ai recherché des sonorités martiales en pensant véritablement l'oeuvre d'une façon 'orchestrale' avec des appels de cors ou encore des coups de grosse caisse. Un bref épisode aux couleurs flûtées sur un tapis scintillant de harpe - magique et incantatoire - rappelle les pouvoirs magiques d'Indra avant de retrouver la nervosité et la pulse initiales. / Contemporain / Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Ces sonates sont parmi les oeuvres epoch-making du répertoire pour violon et aujourd'hui figure dans le répertoire standard de tous les violonistes. Il est d'autant plus surprenant, donc, que jusqu'à présent il n'y a pas eu édition Urtext de ces travaux importants.Le score est basé sur une première édition supervisée par Corelli lui-même. D'après ce que nous savons de la performance en temps de Corelli, cependant, était plusattend de la violoniste qu'une lecture musicale de la partition imprimée: il était d'usage d'ajouter des ornements à la limite de l'improvisation, avec l'embellissement et 'variations' comme vous le souhaitez. La partition originale est doncprésenté ici avec le plus documenté l'ornementation d'une réimpression publiée par Roger à Amsterdam en 1708. Cette ornementation n'est pas destiné à être servilement imité, mais de stimuler le lecteur à trouver leur propre interprétation créative et stylistiquement confiant de la partition. Comme Roger n'a pas précisé les ornements pour les sonates dans le deuxième volume, les 'variations que désiré' utilisé par l'élève de Corelli Geminiani ont été reproduites avec la Sonate neuvième exemple. Conseils sur les performances est donnée par la Cologne baroque spécialiste Reinhard Goebel. Ce conseil ne s'applique pas seulement à l'ornementation, mais aussi de l'articulation, coups d'archet et d'autres choses encore, appelant à des marquages ??spécifiques dans la partie de violon séparée.La réalisation de la partie de continuo fait écho à la mode de l'époque. Ici aussi, des conseils sur la performance vise à stimuler la libre interprétation par le joueur de continuo. Une partie basse chiffrée est inclus pour le joueur qui préfère lire l'accompagnement des chiffres. / Violon Et Piano

Lili Boulanger was the sister of the famous teacher Nadia Boulanger who taught Aaron Copland Elliott Carter and Philip Glass amongst others. She was a composer for the last 10 years of her tragically short life - she died at 25 - and her music stands in the main line of French music exemplified by Faure somewhat tinged with the influence of Debussy's Impressionism. It is generally beautiful delicately coloured and touching. These challenging 'Two Pieces for Violin and Piano' exemplify these qualities. The Nocturne begins sparsely with bare octave figures wound about with a theme built from a repetitive rise-and-fall figure. As the texture become thickerthe violin becomes more virtuosic and begins to climb. There is no harmonic resolution until the final ppp note in the top register which is answered by an low octave from the piano. The Cortege is more lively without being fast. Shifting rhythmic accents tricky runs and contrasting dynamics make this an exciting piece.

Play-Alongs Bekannter Stücke Aus Irland Schottland Wales Dem Cornwall und Der Bretagne-Martin Tourish is an accordionist composer and musicologist from Co. Donegal now based in Dublin. Celtic music is in his blood for his ancestors were noted collectors of dance music manuscripts dating back to the 19th century. With many recordings to his credit he now offers his expertise to performers wishing to explore the rich culture of Irish and other Celtic music on a variety of instruments. ?World Music Celtic? presents material from the Irish Scottish Welsh Cornish and Breton traditions. It makes no great technical demands on the players but Tourish points out that notation of this music is often ?skeletal? hence it is important to gain a knowledge of theindividual traditions in question and naturally he offers plenty of information on performance practice. The collection spans three centuries from the blind bardic harpists of the 18th century to the international performers of the present day. Tourish accepts that this volume can only scratch the surface of a multi-faceted genre but hopes you will see it as a stepping stone to delve deeper into recordings festivals and the very communities whence this music comes. ?World Music Celtic? is available in four formats each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin flute or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C Bb or Eb) piano guitar bass and bodhrán.

The violin pupil can be accompanied either by the violin teacher (as a violin duet) or with piano. The optional alternative piano accompaniments are by Heidi Rolfe.'I can still remember the thrill I felt as a child of 8 when my violin teacher introduced me to my first concertino. Learning playing and eventually mastering the famous Küchler Concertino in D major made me feel privileged and grown-up as if I were joining a very special club.That was a long time ago yet for me concertinos still hold a distinctive place in the teaching repertoire. Having now taught the violin for the last thirty years and seen how happily my pupils respond to learningduets - that distinctive sense of enjoyment at playing with an adult the improvement of intonation and tone production the liveliness of the lesson - I have composed three new concertinos inspired by the duet form.Taking three great keys for the violin - G D and A minor I have endeavoured to combine emotionally engaging and technically educational music in the 'Olden Style'. Uniquely I have written a second violin part for the teacher to play alongside their pupil's part and there is also a piano accompaniment for use alternatively in concert settings.I very much hope that these concertinos prove as popular and as helpful as the series of duets in my previously published books Sounds of a Rainbow and that they ignite that sense of wonderment and purpose I experienced while playing the Kuchler all those years ago.'Nigel Goldberg
