Miniature-Fantasias for Violin and Piano-Miniature Fantasias by L. Portnoff Russian Fantasia No.4 E Minor for Violin with Piano accompaniment.

Published in 1924 as 'revised and edited' by violinist Samuel Dushkin Maria Theresia Von Paradis' Sicilienne is the most famous of her works. Dushkin later claimed that he had discovered this piece as a keyboard work and had recast it for violin and piano but it is fairly certain that the piece was in fact composed by Dushkin. However the doubtful parentage of the piece had never dampened its popularity and it is still widely used today. Arranged for Violin or Cello with Piano accompaniment.

Dvorák, Antonín Concerto for Violin and Orchestra A minor op. 53 Edition no. BA 10422-90 ISMN 9790260107687 Editor Cividini, Iacopo Dvorák?s Violin Concerto was composed between 1879 and 1882, with the active assistance of Joseph Joachim, and was issued by the publisher Fritz Simrock, Berlin in 1883. Its premiere took place in October of that same year with Franti?ek Ondrícek as soloist. This new Urtext edition is based on the first edition (score, solo violin part, piano reduction and orchestral parts). It also takes Dvorák?s autograph which served as a master copy for the engraving into consideration. A fresh assessment of Dvorák?s manuscript made it possible to reconstruct several variants ignored in the first and subsequent editions and to clarify ambiguities in the notation and articulation. An important component of our Urtext edition is the original piano reduction, which probably stems from Dvorák himself, and in which Joseph Joachim?s fingering is published. ? First Urtext edition of the original piano reduction ? Variants in the solo part rendered as ossia passages ? Foreword on the work?s genesis (Ger/Cz/Eng) and detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editor

Considered one of the most technically difficult works for the Violin Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major Op. 35 is one of the best known Violin concertos constantly performed by the world’s greatest artists. The genius of Tchaikovsky translates beautifully in the expressive second movement of the concerto. Canzonetta is a lyrical andante in G minor which should be played with a lot of sentiment for best results. This edition is arranged for Violin solo with a Piano accompaniment replacing the ensemble part.Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s works included symphonies concertos operas ballets chambermusic and a choral setting of the Russian Orthodox Divine Liturgy. He was the first Russian composer whose music made a lasting impression internationally some of his compositions are among the most popular theatrical music in the classical repertoire.

2me Polonaise brillante pour violon avec acompagnement de piano op.21 Henryk Wieniawski wrote only two polonaises. The first one, op. 4 in D minor, is one of his youthful works; the other, op. 21 in A major, is one of the last works he composed. Moreover, H. Wieniawski is the co-author of another polonaise, op. 8, for violin and piano, which he wrote with his brother Józef Wieniawski, a pianist. The latter polonaise, like the Polonaise in D minor op. 4, is also a youthful composition (1852). The polonaise as a genre, therefore, does not occupy much space in Wieniawskis heritage. Nonetheless, both polonaises, in D minor and A major, constitute an essential part of his artistic inheritance. Likewise, both polonaises had been composed in two versions: for violin and orchestra, and for violin and piano. The Polonaise in A major was completed in 1870. It is not known precisely which of the versions, the one with the piano, or the one with the orchestra first came into being. It was the version with orchestra that the composer performed for the first time on 17 March 1870, in the Grand Theatre in St. Petersburg. But merely two months later he performed the Polonaise in Warsaw, accompanied by his brother Józef at the piano. It is quite possible that Wieniawski had already performed this version of the Polonaise. It is certain, nonetheless, that both versions either appeared simultaneously, or one was composed shortly after the other. From its first public performance until the end of his concert career, Wieniawski often included this Polonaise in his concert repertoire, playing one version or another, the choice depending on the needs and circumstances. Just to mention one occasion, he played the orchestral version during a concert tour of Sweden in 1870, when he dedicated and presented a manuscript of this piece to King Charles XV of Sweden. The dedication, however, was changed in print, and both versions were eventually dedicated to François van Hal. Both versions were published simultaneously, by Schott Publishers in Mainz, with the same plate number, though the orchestral version appeared only in parts, which was a common practice in those days. The piece was most probably not published earlier than 18751. The Polonaise was praised by the critics. The reviews reported that it was a magnificent piece2, and this opinion was shared by later critical reviews, both Russian and West European. The Polonaise remained popular after the composer had died, which is evident from the number of later editions of the piece (more than ten) issued by different publishers, mostly German, and prepared by different editors. In Poland, the Polonaise was published twice after the Second World War. All the editions introduced some more or less significant changes into the text, mostly concerning performance indications, but in a sense blurring the composers intentions. All those changes were pertinent to the violin and piano version, and it was mostly in this form that the piece appeared in concert and teaching repertoires. The performances with an orchestra were much more seldom which was, among other factors, due to limited availability of the orchestral version, as it had never been published again after the first edition, until now. The Polonaise in A major was composed approximately at the same time as the Violin Concerto No. 2 in D minor3. This convergence in time had influenced a certain similarity with regard to both composition and technical means, and also to the themes. In particular, the similarity becomes quite obvious in the second theme of the Allegro in the Concerto, and in the theme of the Polonaise. The Polonaise in A major is also in a certain way similar to the first Polonaise (in D minor), the motifs of the themes in both polonaises are alike. However, both pieces differ in style. The Polonaise in D minor shows the composers fascination with technical writing. Wieniawski makes the most of double-stops, chords, and all other sophisticated virtuoso techniques. The Polonaise in A major, written 18 years later, is much more mature. Although it is a virtuosic piece as well, the techniques used are somewhat more limited and subordinated to the expression. The virtuoso character of this piece is more fragile, much closer to the brillant style. At the same time, the Polonaise is typical of Wieniawskis violin playing technique. Here the composer uses the means regarded by his contemporaries to be typical of him, e.g., long staccato fragments played with one bow. The Polonaise is a concert piece in one movement extended form with a considerably abbreviated return of the first section at the end. The middle section is contrasting in character, due to the modulation to F major, change of tempo (meno mosso) and the reduction in the number of instruments (in the orchestral version). All the sections show thematic similarity. The first section, too, consists of three subsections, including a contrasting middle subsection (in E major). Zofia Chechlińska Footnotes 1.

The first version of the Concerto No. 2 in D minor was completed in 1862, but in 1870, i.e., not until the Polonaise in A major was completed, Wieniawski had been working on the Concerto and implemented quite a few changes.

This substantial volume contains all of the works that Tchaikovsky composed or arranged himself for Violin and Piano. The three larger Violin works opp. 26 34 and 42 which G. Henle Publishers also offers in individual practical editions are particularly well-known and popular. By contrast the three brief single movements with which Tchaikovsky presents charming adaptations of his own pieces promise to be genuine discoveries. Tchaikovsky’s Violin works have long suffered under corrupt musical editions heavily reworked later by violinists all the more important therefore that the editor responsible for this Urtextedition is Russian Tchaikovsky specialist Alexander Komarov. He consulted all of the relevant original sources in international archives thereby guaranteeing the highest reliability of this musical text. Ingolf Turban a Violin virtuoso of the first order supplied stylistically appropriate markings in the Violin part.

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. The “Happy Birthday Variations” for violin and piano are dedicated to his good friend, the late Sir Roger Moore and are typical of Igudesman’s brand of humour. They take the internationally known musical greeting on a world-wide tour, from a Viennese Waltz, through a Big Band number, a Bulgarian Vivace in 7/8, a Russian Presto, a Tango and an Alpine Air to conclude in a Paganini-esque finale that’s not quite as difficult as it looks. A great concert showpiece for intermediate students, not least if someone in the audience is celebrating a special day! Or, if the teacher prefers to play the violin, Igudesman’s “The Soloist’s Ultimate Happy Birthday” (UE37199) does a different but equally funny job for violin duet./ Recueil / Violon et Piano

This innovative piece was completed in 1934 as part of the music for the film Night of St. Petersburg and features lyrical almost folk-like violin melodies. Dmitri Kabalevsky was one of the most important of 20th Century Russian composers and his skill demonstrated by the simple folk-like melodies and traditional musical forms at work here. Improvisation Op.21 No.1 is a stunning chamber work for Violin and Piano that will become a popular and exciting part of your repertoire.

In the relatively sparse Spanish repertoire for Piano and Violin El Poema De Una Sanluqueña is considered by many a key work of 20th century Spanish chamber music. Turina was a frequent visitor to the seaside town of Sanlúcar in his youth and his love for the town shines through in these four movements. The work Is dedicated to the ?muchachas? the girls of Sanlúcar who it is said ?don?t get married? because the boys of Sanlúcar marry outsiders. Turina wrote the work for ?those beautiful Andalusian girls living in a sad and never-ending dream.? Unlike earlier works of Turina this one was not descriptive but rather suggestive of an emotional state. The piece requires thegreatest technical expertise of both Violinist and pianist as well as sensitivity and humour. Joaquin Turina is often contrasted with Albéniz and Granados those two proponents of a Spanish national style. Turina strove to write music of a European standard in the conventional major forms. In his work it is possible to hear the influence of Turina?s years studying in Paris as well as his native Spain combined with the composer?s own unique Voice.
