The original version for violin dates from 1981, thus being one of the early works by the Israeli composer who teaches at Harvard University. About 35 years later, in 2015, Chaya Czernowin arranged the solo piece for the cellist Christina Meissner and also wrote a version for viola solo. In this early creative period, her tonal language shows the slow introduction of the sound of new music.

ISBN 9790080149614. UPC: 888680676605. 9.0x12.0x0.121 inches. Hungarian, English, German, French. Bela Bartok; Arpad Pejtsik.

Bela Bartok composed his 44 Violin Duos in 1931, at the urging of the German violin pedagogue Erich Doflein. With two exceptions, all the pieces are based on original folk music themes, most of which the composer himself collected in the course of his numerous collecting trips to the Carpathian Basin and in Algeria. Although conceived as parts of a pedagogically motivated set, these little pieces are highly effective in concert performance as well. The transcription follows Bartok's original faithfully. The publication includes fingerings added by the editor.

“Composed between 1967 and 1970, Tout un monde lointain for Cello and Orchestra, by Henri Dutilleux, is one of the most important additions to the cello repertoire in the 20th century. Lasting nearly half an hour, each of the five movements are inspired by a poem of Charles Baudelaire: 1. Énigme / Enigma 2. Regard / Gaze 3. Houles / Surges 4. Miroirs / Mirrors 5. Hymne / Hymn The main theme, initially introduced in the first part Énigme / Enigma, is often replayed through the piece. The third part, Houles / Surges is the most difficult to interpret with a Scherzo part that's quite challenging and no break between the movements. Henri Dutilleux was internationally acclaimed for his work, winning prizes such as the Gold Medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society and the UNESCO's International Rostrum of Composers, among many others. His work also includes a piano sonata, two symphonies, the Violin concerto 'L'arbre des songes' (The tree of dreams) and the string quartet 'Ainsi la nuit' (Thus the night).”.

Geschrieben 1981 fur die Malerin und Musikerin Rivka Golani, wurde das Werk 1981 im Rahmen von Musique Vivante, Paris, durch Rivka Golani, Viola, uraufgefuhrt.Eine in sehr langsamem Tempo fortschreitende Harmonik wird durch eine genau festgelegte Arpeggio- und Tremolo-Technik des Bogens von mehreren unaufhorlich zitternden und sich in allen Richtungen unregelmassig bewegenden Klanggittern uberdeckt. Was durch diese Gitter hindurch tont, ist eine ausserst vielschichtige, extrem rasch sich bewegende Musik, die gleichzeitig ablauft.Es gibt Versionen des gleichen Werkes auch fur Viola (1981) und fur Violine (1983).-Heinz Holliger.
