One can truly say that Mendelssohn's St. Paul oratorio is a genuine work in progress - such as one finds repeatedly in the composer's works. After the world premiere in Dusseldorf in 1836, the composer sighed: Since I changed a number of things after the performance, notably in the recitatives, and omitted a few pieces entirely, I really don't know how these changes can be made in the quartet parts that have already been engraved.Luckily, the score had not yet been printed at this point in time. It was published not long afterwards (1837) and served as the basis for the old Complete Edition, where, however, it was mixed together with other sources.Michael Marker's present Urtext edition uses the first edition of the score as the main source for the first time. Its inconsistencies were emended by the editor in agreement with other contemporary sources.By forgoing the version transmitted by Julius Rietz (1878), on which all later reprintings were based, in favor of the score of the first edition of 1835, which was personally supervised by the composer, a new Paulus has come to light: freed from a number of conventionalizing, adulterating retouchings, at times more angular in detail and thus more characteristic.

Piano vocal score by the composer

Simultaneously, he corresponded with the poet about cuts and revisions of the libretto, and, towards the end of the year, even let himself be persuaded by friends to orchestrate it. Der Rose Pilgerfahrt was given its first performances in Dusseldorf and Leipzig in February and March 1852 in this full-scored version before being printed in late 1852.

Henri Wieniawski, the Polish born violin virtuoso, chamber musician, composer and pedagogue was admitted into Lambert Massart's violin class at the Paris Conservatoire at age 8. In 1850, he received the Premiere Prix, both as violinist and composer. His pedagogical masterpiece l'Ecole Moderne was published when Wieniawski was 19 years old. These 9 concert etudes combine Wieniawski's passionate romantic style as a composer with his stunning inventiveness as violin virtuoso. The etudes are now staples in every conservatory. In 1860, Wieniawski became the Tsar's violinist and head of the string department of the newly established St. Petersburg Conservatory. His innovative bowing is the template of the famed Russian Violin School. Wieniaski's bowhold became known as the Russian Bow Grip..
