Par SARASATE PABLO DE. Sarasate\'s concert career began at age seventeen after he was awarded the coveted Premier Prix from the Paris Conservatoire for both violin and composition. After his London debut, the playwright and music critique George Bernard Shaw wrote in his review that Sarasate \'left criticism gasping miles behind him.\' Shaw also declared that there were many composers of music for the violin; there were but few composers like Sarasate for violin music. His vast concert repertory included many works written for and dedicated to him by Bruch, Saint-Saëns, Wieniawski, Dvorak and many others. He performed his own works in an inimitable, brilliant and charming manner. His contemporaries marveled at his perfect intonation and stunning rhythmic acuity. His bowing technique was the pride of the French School of violin playing. The works presented in this volume are among his finest. All are based on Spanish popular music and are a virtuosic set for violin and piano. They are and have been in virtually every great violinist\'s repertory. They are also exceptionally popular as encore pieces, as well as favorites of budding virtuosos. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Recueil / Violin et Piano

for Violin and Piano. Hatikvah (The Hope) is a 19th-century Jewish poem and modern-day national anthem of Israel. In this romantic-style arrangement, Ben Andrew shares the melody between both the violin and piano. Through the use of subtle dissonance and a rich harmonic texture, the music conveys a sense of struggle, despair and sadness, as well as the eternal hope expressed in the original poem upon which the music is based. Perform this piece in your ABRSM Violin Grade 8, or Trinity College London Violin Grade 7 exams.

'Romance for violin and piano is a short reflective piece that exploits the lyrical qualities inherent in the combination. Originally written for a very young but talented violinist Romance travels through numerous moods andcolours within a continuous musical development of the opening material. At first gentle and reflective with increasing dramatic outbursts outlined by the violin sforzandi and parallel sixths in the piano writing numerous shortsolo passages in both instruments culminate in a fiery climax. Quickly subsiding into the calmer yet now more melancholy strains of the earlier stages of the piece the ending is somewhat incomplete. This seems to suggest acontinuous turn of events alluded to in the music.'???????????? - Helen GrimeBorn in 1981 Helen studied oboe with JohnAnderson and composition with Julian Anderson and Edwin Roxburgh at the Royal College of Music.

He travelled the world as a Trinityexaminer covering India South Africa Tasmania New Zealand Singapore and the Straits Islands. In addition he was music tutor to the Maharaja of Mysore and conductor of the Mysore Palace Orchestra.

Armand Merck (Liège 1883 - Meudon 1963) commence des études de cor et d'écriture dans sa ville natale avant de s'établir à Paris pour suivre les cours de Vincent d'Indy à la Schola Cantorum, Auteur de plusieurs opéras (dont Tarass Boulba d'après Gogol), de cycles de mélodies, d'oeuvres symphoniques et d'une abondante production de piano et de musique de chambre, il s'inscrit dans la lignée de l'école post-franckiste, dont l'influence, déclinante après la Grande Guerre, ne s'est pas moins propagée assez loin dans la première partie du XXème siècle, La fidélité à des principes constructivistes que la modernité, dans le sillage de Debussy, semblait avoir définitivement condamnés, fut souvent payée, chez nombre de compositeurs, au prix de la disgrâce, À ce titre, il est remarquable de constater qu'un homme comme Merck, malgré une esthétique délibérément datée, n'en fut pas moins défendu par des musiciens aussi divers que Florent Schmitt, Charles Münch, Georges Auric, Edouard Souberbielle, et même Olivier Messiaen - et on est en droit de penser que sa musique, servie en son temps par des interprètes comme Walter Straham, José Iturbi, Yvonne Astruc, Yvonne Loriod et l'Ensemble Marie-Thérèse Ibos (création du quintette avec piano), ne saurait tomber dans l'oubli,Armand Merck laisse plusieurs pièces pour violon : Une première sonate dédiée à Eugène Ysaÿe, un Poème et un Andante dédié à la violoniste Madeleine Bloy-Souberbielle, fille de Léon Bloy,Alexis Galpérine Collection Le Violon Rouge / Violon Et Piano

Five Pieces for Violin and Orchestra was commissioned by Frederick Grinke and completed on 20 December 1961. The BBC Symphony Orchestra with Frederick Grinke (violin) and conducted by the composer gave the first performanceon 31 July 1962 at the Royal Albert Hall London during the BBC Proms season.This work is so constructed that each piece is complete in itself and can be played separately while at the same time the whole set of fiveconstitutes a structural unit. A basic motif consisting of a rising semitone followed by a falling tone and its inversion plays an important part in every piece. Thus the first piece which is of a slow and meditativecharacter begins with this theme in the bass. It is also heard in the first entry of the solo part and thereafter every episode is in some way derived from it. The next piece a vigorous and strongly marked ‘allegro’ uses thesemitone of the original figure as its starting point. A second theme appears first on the horns and is later taken up by the solo violin while a third section has the initial idea as its accompaniment. Next comes an extendedscherzo in free form very closely based on initial motif. The fourth is a purely melodic piece containing allusions in its middle section to the basic figure. Here the strings only are used for accompaniment. In the firstsection violas and cellos are divided in the middle section and all the strings are used in the last which is otherwise an almost exact repetition of the opening. The Finale is a lighter movement than the others concernedmainly with giving the soloist material for display but not unconnected with what has gone before.
