As with most of Schumann's duos for solo instrument and piano the 'Pieces in Folk Style' originally for violoncello and piano were also published for an alternative instrument. The publisher expected greater circulation and ahigher turnover with an additional edition for violin. Apart from a few changes necessitated by the instrument there was a series of substantial ones in nos. 1 and 5 which partly also concern the piano part. Thus we can beconfident that the version for violin was undertaken by Schumann. Now it is available in an Urtext edition for the very first time! Ernst Schliephake has provided practice-orientated fingerings and it is thus excellently suitedfor the teaching of pupils of medium ability upwards.

Mozart?s concertos for Violin and Orchestra belong to that elite group of works determining a Violin players abilities; they are elegant and transparent with demanding passage-work.

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.

Take A Walk Through Aleksey Igudesman'S Imaginary Garden!. Par IGUDESMAN ALEKSEY. Aleksey Igudesman might reasonably be described as a modern day Victor Borge. With his cabaret partner, Hyung-ki Joo, he has toured concert halls all over the world, wringing all that is humorous out of classical music with just the basic tools of violin and piano. 'In my Garden 1” shows Igudesman in another light, that of a violin teacher, providing excellent material for younger violin students. Each piece depicts a fruit or vegetable to be found growing in the garden and includes a short poem (in English, French and German) and pictures to inspire the pupil and help them to interpret the music. But these are not just fun to play - they conceal useful study material to improve technique like staccato or lyrical smooth bowing. Clever use of double stops (one note always an open string) will help the student make a more rewarding sound and inspire confidence. Grade 1 students can enjoy some of the pieces and still be dipping into it a year or two later. A piano part is included to make these pieces ideal for an end-of-term concert and, for more ideas, Igudesman has also depicted animals in similar fashion in his two volumes 'In the Zoo”./ Recueil / Violon et Piano

Ernest Bloch's Sonata For Violin And Piano is a challenging but extremely rewarding work. The first movement's tempo marking is Agiatato and the music is in turn turbulent and aggressive passionate and sorrowful but the prevailing mood is one of grave disquiet. The sense of unrest continues in the second movement although it is marked Molto quieto)and is mostly contemplative by nature. The last movement marked Moderato begins with the tolling of bells in the piano part. The violin is assertive although less aggressive than it was in the first movement. A tender epilogue follows this and dies away peacefully bringing the work to its conclusion.

Violin Sonatas Fragments-This Urtext edition contains rewarding discoveries for all lovers of Mozart.Mozart left behind a total of eight unfinished works for Piano and Violin predominantly discontinued sonata movements.

Levin. He has contributed five each of which is full of Mozartian spirit. A preface with a critical report presents the facts indetail and incorporates the most recent scholarly findings.

Aus Preludes I für Violine und Klavier-The first volume of Debussy?s Préludes for Piano (HN 383) was published in 1910 and was soon followed by arrangements for various scorings commissioned by the original publisher. Debussy personally transcribedonly one Prélude Minstrels which was released in 1914 in a version for Violin and Piano.Back at that time ?Minstrels? was the name given to comedians who performed in blackface andcaricatured the alleged behaviour of Blacks in America. The arrangement is of interest not only to pianists since Debussy intervened in the original musical text by adding variants but also to violinists who willdiscover charming and rewarding music of medium difficulty (5 of 9).

Pavana – Capricho is one of the last pieces from Isaac Albeniz’s early period before he turned to Spanish influences – a style that would characterise the rest of his compositions. In this earlier period Albeniz who was a child prodigy on the Piano composed ‘salon style’ music and experimented with traditional styles in the manner of Rameau Bach Beethoven Chopin and Liszt. His shift towards Spanish music occurred after meeting the teacher and composer Felipe Pedrell a leading figure in the development of nationalist Spanish music.Pavana-Capricho is graceful andlight-hearted at the same time. The playfulness that arises from the alternating moods is best achieved when the proper technique and articulation is applied. Arranged for Violin and Piano and with a performance time of ca. 3:30 this piece of Romantic chamber-music is a perfect addition to any concert programme.
