Judith BlezzardThis book looks at English church music from a new standpoint. It examines the relationship between English church music and the various types of other music that have influenced its development revealing a vigorous tradition of interplay with extraneous musical material that is seldom apparent from the ways in which music is presented for church use. The borrowing of music from churches outside England is explored and a large section is devoted to the often surprisingly ingenious ways in which secular music has since the beginnings of the English church been appropriated as music for worship - often with controversial results. From madrigal tomusic-hall from plainsong to popular styles: these and many other kinds of music have lent both styles and material to sacred music with English texts. By examining these musical transformations this book demonstrates that English church music is far from being an exclusively insular and retrospective repertory as is often presumed to be the case. Although the book with its use of musical examples is designed primarily for the general musical reader - both amateur and professional its broadly historical approach will appeal to those interested in English cultural heritage the church and its worship.ISBN 0 85249 784 9

Violin Sonatas Volume II-Volume II of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonatas for Piano and Violin includes Violin sonatas No. 6-10 - Beethoven wrote 10 sonatas for Violin and Piano in total (No. 1-5 can be found inVolume I of this edition). Out of these 5 sonatas Violin Sonata No. 9 (commonly known as the ‘Kreutzer Sonata’) is the most widely known because of its demanding Violin part unusual length of slightlyless than 40 minutes (with the other four averaging at ca. 23 minutes) and emotional scope - while the first movement is predominantly furious the second is meditative and the third joyous and exuberant. This Urtextedition provides you with a clear and accurate representation of the composer's original intentions. Two copies of the Violin score are included as separate inserts as well as a preface in German English and French.

Robert Schumann’s Sonata For Piano And Violin In A Minor Op. 105 (also known as Violin Sonata No. 1) was written in only a few days in September 1851. It consists of three movements 1. Mitleidenschaftlichem Ausdruck (dotted quarter=68) 2. Allegretto (eighth note =96) and 3. Lebhaft (quarter note = 94) with the main theme present in all of them linking the whole sonata together.Thewealth of imagination energy of sentiment and depth of thought in the sonata was acknowledged by Wasielewski fellow musician and Schumann’s first biographer. This publication takes the composer’s personal copy of thescore and the separate Violin part as its principal sources coming as close to the original intentions of Schumann as possible. An editorial preface by Wiltrud Haug-Freienstein is also included in German English andFrench.This Sonata is challenging but rewarding for both Piano and Violin. Total performance time is approximately 18 minutes.

Arranged for Violin and Piano-The Belgian Charles Auguste de Bériot (1802-1870) was not only a violinist but also a teacher and composer.Bériot composed a number of concertos. His Concerto No.9 In A Minor published in 1859 is a favourite with more advanced students. Julia Fischer played it with verve at the early age of eight. The piece stands out with seemingly virtuosic short passages varied rhythms and a slight Hungarian touch.The EditorKurt Sassmannshaus is a world-famous Violin teacher with a professorship in Cincinnati (Ohio USA). He is also the founder of the Great Wall Music Academy an international summer camp for youngstring players in China. He continues the family tradition of Early Start on the Violin founded by his father Egon Sassmannshaus and published by Bärenreiter with editions in German and English.The series Bärenreiter's Concert Pieces includes works for solo strings usually the Violin but also Viola and Cello all with Piano accompaniment.

Debussy wrote his solitary Violin Sonata in the closing days of his life plagued by the distress of the ongoing Great War financial difficulties and health issues of a terminal cancer. Shortly afterits completion in April the first performance took place on May 5th 1917 with Debussy himself at the Piano. This was the composer?s last public appearance before his death in 1918.The Sonata For Violinand Piano was the third and final composition in a cycle intended to consist of six sonatas for various instruments. It has an overall atmosphere of melancholy while also capturing contradictory characteristics such asjoy and silliness presented in a form closer to a fantasia than a sonata. The three expressive movements (Allegro vivo Intermede and Finale) are written in a French nationalistic spirit withdistinctive influences from Spanish and gypsy music throughout. This ambiguousness and ambivalence in form sound and character all attribute to Debussy?s innovative language of ?musical impressionism? which has become afavourite of musicians and audiences alike.The comments at the end of this Urtext edition provide detailed information on the sources and alternative readings while the preface by François Lesure in German English andFrench gives historical and biographical context. Two copies of the Violin solo are included as separate inserts.

The work of British composer Percy Turnbull is less well known than some of his counterparts but interest in his works is steadily on the increase. Drawing from wide influences such as Roussel Fauré Delius and Bartok his individual and original compositional style often incorporates French and English music. Dating from the mid-1930s his Romance for Violin and Piano is typical of his work; unostentatious and uncomplicated while maintaining a sense of harmonic and technical mastery. Wonderfully written for Violin and Piano this is a vivid and eloquent piece that will be enjoyed by both listeners and performers.

Bagatelle is a light-hearted piece for Violin and Piano which makes up for its lack of substance with considerable charm and style. Its composer John Ireland (1879-1962) was an English classicalcomposer and teacher who came to epitomise and even define the late Edwardian style in which he was educated. He is perhaps best known for his choral works but also composed extensively for orchestra and chamber ensembles. Composed in 1911 Bagatelle was dedicated to the Violin virtuoso Marjorie Haywood (1886-1953) who was a leading violinist of the day and a Professor at the Royal Academy of Music from1924.
