In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim Jelly D?Aranyi in concert in London. Following the performance Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D?Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel?s virtuoso classic ?Tzigane?. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon) the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel laterorchestrated ?Tzigane? and both versions remain a ?must? for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D?Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel?s masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version complete with full score and performance material as well as in the composer?s earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources including letters have been drawn on for the new edition; one of the available sources consulted for the first time was a copy of ?Tzigane? from the estate of Jelly D?Aranyi which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains besides the Urtext part a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D?Aranyi. D?Aranyi?s alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D?Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto.First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and pianoIncludes Jelly D?Aranyi?s fingering

Score. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. / Date parution : 2023-01-24/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes et Violon

for Violin and Orchestra-Beethoven?s 'Romances' are performed all over the world yet how many conductors performers and listeners are aware that op. 50 which was incidentally composed before op. 40 comes down to us in an unfinished form? The autograph score contains little to no articulation or dynamics and to the present day the work has existed only in highly over-edited publications. The performer has no way of knowing what was originally intended by the composer.Bärenreiter?s new Urtext edition of opp. 50 and 40 offers the score to op. 50 twice; the first score reflects the state of Beethoven?s autograph with editorial markings clearly indicated the second score has beenedited based on other works by Beethoven from that period. This manner of publishing remains true to the sources and at the same time offers musicians a reliable transparent score for performances.Barenreiter No. BA9026

Par QUERLEUX ALAIN. Ce « petit Concerto de chambre » comprend trois mouvements, pour une durée globale de 18 minutes environ. L?essence de son propos est le dialogue concertant et chantant entre un violon soliste et un orchestre à cordes (pouvant se réduire à un simple quatuor à cordes ). Le premier mouvement est sous-titré « ..Par un chemin d?échos divers.. » : il évoque une promenade et ses sons, rumeurs, chants et bruits ? naissant, s?amplifiant, s?éloignant ou renaissant en échos. Plusieurs tempi modérés s?enchaînent au gré des tonalités de ré mineur, ré majeur, sol mineur et sol majeur. Les interprètes devront varier les climats, nuances et couleurs. Le mouvement central, très lent et expressif, est de facture plus classique : l?orchestre expose le thème principal, bientôt repris et varié par la cantilène du violon solo, dans le ton de la mineur.Le passage central module en la majeur, un grand crescendo s?en suit, jusqu?au retour du premier thème ? soliste et orchestre réunis. Le Finale apporte joie et détente, dans un tempo vif et spirituel.C?est une forme Rondo, avec un refrain apparaissant à cinq reprises, et quatre couplets énoncés par le violon solo. Quelques traits virtuoses participent de la fête, le ton de La hésitant entre mineur et majeur. La partie de soliste conviendra aux violonistes à partir de la fin du 2ème cycle des conservatoires. Les parties d?orchestre sont abordables à partir du second cycle./ Répertoire / Violon Concertant et Orchestre
