Contemporary Violin Studies. Par KNOX GARTH. 'Often in a humoristic manner and always with musical expression in focus, these eight pieces are perfect for every violinist to practice playing techniques and to enhance the enthusiasm to experiment and the joy of playing.' (Carolin Widmann) 'This collection of concert studies for violin explores what are often referred to as “extended techniques”. These are for the most part techniques which are already present in classical music in a secondary role, but which have now, through continuous development, come to occupy a musical place of primary importance. Each of the studies concentrates on a single technique, investigating how it works technically, and exploring its musical possibilities. They are called “Spaces” because as well as being concert pieces, they are intended to open up spaces for exploration, discussion and improvisation around these techniques. They are also intended to be enjoyable to play, to work on and to listen to. Far from being an esoteric handbook of complex techniques reserved for contemporary music specialists, these “Spaces” are designed to help all violinists to explore, in a playful and imaginative way, the possibilities of their instrument and to discover some sounds and techniques that will have very tangible positive effects on their playing of all styles of music. We can all extend our techniques by opening up the space around them and taking them to their limits. The Violin Spaces are dedicated to Diamanda Dramm, whose talent, enthusiasm, suggestions and feedback were an enormous help to me in the construction of these ”Spaces”.'

Composer's NoteThe study of the violin presents certain difficulties for beginners which are frequently the cause of a sudden abatement in the pupil's zeal and ambition even before he has mastered the first rudiments.The blame for this is commonly laid on the teacher who is called incapable or negligent; losing sight of the fact that the pupil began his studies without the slightest notion not merely of the difficulties to be encountered but also of the regular and assiduous industry indispensable for surmounting them. It is important therefore to smooth these first asperities by showing their utility and making them agreeable; to this end myViolin Method was published and the present Exercises have been written which latter may be considered as forming a supplement to the former. If practiced carefully and intelligently they will serve as a solid foundation for the technique of any player ambitious to become an artist. Franz Wohlfahrt.

These sonatas are among the epoch-making works of the Violin repertoire and nowadays figure in the standard repertoire of every violinist. It is all the more surprising therefore that until now there has been no Urtext edition of such significant works. The score is based on a first edition supervised by Corelli himself. From what we know of performance practice in Corelli’s time however more was expected of the violinist than just a musical reading of the printed score: it was customary to add ornamentation verging on improvisation with embellishment and 'variations as desired'. The original score is therefore presented here withthe earliest documented ornamentation from a reprint published by Roger in Amsterdam in 1708. This ornamentation is not meant to be slavishly imitated but to stimulate the player to find their own creative and stylistically confident interpretation of the score. As Roger did not specify any ornaments for the sonatas in the second volume the 'variations as desired' used by Corelli’s pupil Geminiani have been reproduced with the ninth Sonata as an example. Advice on performance is given by the Cologne baroque specialist Reinhard Goebel. This advice does not only apply to ornamentation but also to articulation bowings and more besides calling for specific markings in the separate Violin part. The realisation of the Continuo part echoes the fashions of that time. Here too advice on performance is meant to stimulate free interpretation by the continuo player. A figured Bass part is included for the player who prefers to read the accompaniment from figures.

A great collection of popular tunes arranged for violinists of Grade 2 to 3 standard to enjoy. There are simple accompaniments and the CD contains excellent demonstrations plus playalong backing tracks for each piece.An excellent learning resource.

This was the forerunner of the 'Romance for Violin and Orchestra'. The Piano introduces the main theme in sweet gentle somewhat Brahmsian tones after which the Violin takes it up with a graceful lightness of expression. Abrighter variant is soon heard again recalling Brahms after which the theme is heard in a lighter more ethereal version. The mood intensifies near the middle the music turning livelier and muscular and the violin writing morechallenging. The main thematic material is reprised but with many changes and this lovely approximately 12-minute piece quietly ends. This edition is edited by Rok Klopcic.

Concertino in a minor op. 21 in Hungarian Style for Violin and Piano-With this one-movement Concertino Oskar Rieding turns to already advanced students of the violin. Aside from playing in third position it also requires a considerable degree of dexterity and mastery of bowing. The Hungarian style??? mentioned in the title alludes to the fact that Prussian-born Rieding gave more than three decades of service at Budapest???s National Theatre. Its marked rhythms recall Hungarian folk music and will appeal to more spirited young violinists. The Slovenian Rieding specialist Maru?a Zupan i contributes an interesting preface on the little-known composer to this Urtext edition: the markings in the solo part are provided by the experienced violinistEvelyne Gr?b-Trauer.

Edizione critica di Italo Vescovo-Paganini’s Sonata a violino solo (M.S. 6) composed during his Lucca period (1805-1809) forms part of a series of music written for solo violin that has failed to attract the attention of both performers and scholars interested in Genoa’sfamous violinist. This work – published several times in the nineteenth century (especially outside Italy with various titles: Duetto per un violino solo Duo Merveille Meraviglia di Paganini word etc.) – is divided into twomovements (Adagio – Allegro molto). Paganini used a two-staff system of musical notation to produce two distinct levels of sound as well as graphically: pizzicato on the lower line arco on the upper. It is a short pleasing piece containing all the typical characteristics one expects from Paganini: melody and instrumental virtuosity.This critical edition based on the autograph kept at the Biblioteca Casanatense in Rome as part of a collection of the most important editions from the 1800s and 1900s is intended to provide scholars and performers a philologically reliable textthat revives the original version.
