Early Version Of 1844 And Late Version Of 1845. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Replaces BA 9050- The orchestral parts are unchanged and continue to be available as BA 9050-65/-74/-75/-79/-82/-85 Mendelssohn' s Violin Concerto op. 64, is a key work of the 19th century, adhering to the classical style of Beethoven while pointing the way to the romantic ethos of Brahms. It has long been known that Mendelssohn performed the work with three soloists in succession: Ferdinand David, who worked closely with the composer during its composition and played it at the première- the 'child prodigy' Joseph Joachim- and Hubert Léonard, a young Belgian virtuoso about whom little is known. As proof sheets for the Violin Concerto in E minor were long considered lost, it could be described as somewhat of a sensation when proofs for the solo violin part resurfaced together with a letter from Mendelssohn to Léonard. The letter informs us that the composer invited Léonard to his home in Frankfurt in order to make his acquaintance. It was already known that Mendelssohn had given proof sheets to David- now we know that he also gave some to Léonard. The recently discovered proofs reveal how Léonard played the concerto with Mendelssohn on that memorable evening in February 1845. Besides containing bowing marks and fingering, they also show how Léonard executed shifts of position and where he employed open strings. Furthermore modifications made to dynamic markings and additional legato bowing are shown. It is safe to assume that all of this was done with Mendelssohn' s approval. That the young violinist made a positive impression on the composer is confirmed in the latter' s correspondence following their joint performance. Mendelssohn is full of praise for Léonard' s playing and offers to lend his support in finding employment in Germany. This revised edition of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (only the orchestral parts remain unchanged) includes a separate booklet on performance practice. The editor, Clive Brown, is an acknowledged expert on Romantic performance practice. - New source situation owing to recently rediscovered proofs - Revised Urtext edition - With a separate booklet on performance practice (Eng/Ger)/ Répertoire / Violon et Orchestre

Joachim, Joseph Fantasy on Hungarian Themes (1850), Fantasy on Irish [Scottish] Themes (1852) for Violin and Orchestra Edition no. BA 7898-90 ISMN 9790006566020 Joseph Joachim?s ?Fantasies on Hungarian and Irish [Scottish] Themes? was his first virtuoso music for the violin with orchestral accompaniment. Joachim was intent on creating popular works, not least at the urging of his family, but they also bore witness to his urbanity: the young Jewish-Hungarian musician spent many summers in England and its familiar, Irish melodies held great appeal for English audiences. Performances of the ?Fantasy on Hungarian Themes? in German cities met his need for self-display as the ?Hungarian lad?, to use Mendelssohn?s jocular epithet. Joachim was well aware that the style hongrois was all the rage in European capitals.

Fantasy For Violin And String Orchestra. Par VASKS PETERIS. Je commence à composer la fantaisie pour violon et orchestre Vox amoris en automne 2008 et s'est terminée le score au début du printemps 2009. Quel est le message que je voulais annoncer ? Il s'agit de la plus grande puissance dans le monde entier - amour. Amour, a été et sera tant que nous serons. Je crois que le violon solo et orchestre à cordes est la meilleure combinaison pour un ' love story '. La composition, consistant en un seul mouvement, démarre avec un trémolo chaîne sourdine. Le violon solo apparaît alors - recherche, demandant, jusqu'à ce qu'il fleurit en une mélodie large qui est soutenue par un accompagnement orchestral doux.Le violon solo Cadenza I relie la partie introductive avec l'épisode central. La partie centrale de la composition est construite à partir de deux ondes sonores. La première vague commence doucement, lentement, et ensuite l'intensité augmente, devient plus forte et diminue. La deuxième vague est plus large, plus dramatique. La partie de violon solo devient plus difficile - orchestre à cordes joue un rôle actif ici. Caden.../ Répertoire / Violon et Orchestre à Cordes
