Mozart composed the majority of his works for solo string instruments and orchestra during the years 1773 to 1779. Especially important in this context are the years 1773 and 1775 which witnessed the creation of the five concertos for Violin and orchestra as well as several single movements for the same scoring.The reasons for this flourish of activity in this domain lie partly in the fact that Mozart who still occupied the post of concertmaster to the Prince-Archbishop was either obliged or inspired to provide such works for special occasions during this long period spent in Salzburg. But another reason was certainly the possibility ofexperimenting with all the new compositional techniques acquired during his third trip to Italy and his stay of several months in Vienna from July to September 1773.New straightforward Piano reduction (BA4863-90) with:- Violin solo part with the Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Additional violin solo part with fingerings bowings and performance comments- Additional booklet with cadenzas and transitions by L.

This work was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to celebrate its 40th birthday. The first performance took place in June 1986 at St. Magnus' Cathedral Kirkwall as part of the tenth St. Magnus Festival.Writtenfor and first performed by Isaac Stern Davies's Violin Concerto brings together two streams in his music: symphonism and folk-fiddling. In its strongly developed substance it asks to be measured in the company of Beethoven Brahms and Sibelius while there is also particularly in the middle movement a strong element of the Scots lament. The orchestra is generally muted in colour though there is a dramatic role for the timpanist.There are threemovements played without a break - this is only one of many connections with the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.Duration c. 30mins.

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

A work for solo violin and orchestra commissioned by Donald McDonald for the 21st birthday of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the 60th birthday of the composer. It was first performed in November 1993 in Glasgow by JamesClark and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Maxwell Davies.The spell is one quoted by George Mackay Brown in his book An Orkney Tapestry: 'Let not plough be put to acre except a fiddle cross first the furrow.'Davies's dancing concerto imagines the fiddler following a route from field to field from dance to dance accompanied by a bunch of companions in the form of an orchestra. As the music goes on so it gets brighter and livelier moving from the dark colouring of clarinets bassoons and strings to full ensemble with prominent brass and (solo) tuned percussion as if the dancers as much as the fields were beginning to glow with new life.Score(miniature). Duration c. 20mins.
