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

Présentation Jean-Marie Leclair est le plus éminent représentant de l?école française de violon du XVIIIe siècle. Cette nouvelle publication en partition des Editions du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles propose à tous les violonistes, mais aussi aux ensembles, spécialistes ou non de ce répertoire, de jouer ses concertos, véritables manifestes d?une virtuosité instrumentale au service du goût musical français. Jean-Marie Leclair naît à Lyon en 1697. A partir de 1722 il effectue plusieurs voyages dans le Piémont, où il sera en particulier l?élève de Somis qui lui transmet l?enseignement du fameux Corelli. Cette rencontre, déterminante pour le compositeur, lui fait embrasser une carrière de soliste. Sa virtuosité, toujours au service de la musique, bouleverse entièrement la pratique violonistique en France, créant une véritable école. De 1728, où démarre sa carrière au Concert Spirituel à Paris, jusqu?à son assassina en 1764, il n?aura de cesse d?écrire et de jouer, que ce soit pour son instrument ou dans des ?uvres ambitieuses. Ce concerto pour violon et orchestre op. VII n°5, probablement des années 1737, est en la mineur. En trois mouvements (Allegro, Largo, Allegro assai), il dure environ un quart d?heure. A la façon d?un concerto grosso, un ?Violino concertino? alterne la direction de l?orchestre et de larges passages solo. L?orchestre est constitué de deux parties de violons, une partie d?alto, une partie de basse et d?une basse continue.
