Full Score-Hillborg’s first Violin Concerto composed in the early 90s is a pivotal work in his oeuvre. Composed in the wake of his highly experimental Clang & Fury and Celestial Mechanics both of which employ complex and unconventional tuning systems the concerto displays a more pragmatic approach though the drama it sets up is far from conventional with a very fluid soloist-orchestra relationship. Esteemed conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen who has recorded the concerto in 2002 has described it as one Hillborg’s best pieces.

This version of Partita was orchestrated by the composer in 1988 for Anne-Sophie Mutter. The first performance was given in January 1990 by Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by the composer. Duration c.16minutes. Full score and orchestral material on hire from the publishers.

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

Scena is a quasi-operatic scene either for singer and ensemble or for a singer-like solo instrument and ensemble. In this case of the latter the solo Violin proceeds through several dramatic events roughly signaled in the score as Lament Mystical Event (the arrival of woodwind) Romantic Event Dream (slow tremolando swells) and Metamorphosis (which takes and transforms a melody).
