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.

Contemporary works for violin and piano. Par . Fennica Gehrman the music publisher pays tribute to its composers with this 20th-anniversary collection of commissions for violin and piano. Stringendo - Contemporary works for violin and piano (2022) is a collection of ten pieces, which vary greatly as regards their genesis. That by Harri Wessman is playful and exhilarating; Mikko Heiniö wrote his on Women's Day, while the duets by Kalevi Aho and Matthew Whittall are tributes to the late Jaakko Kuusisto. Einojuhani Rautavaara is also represented, in an arrangement for violin and piano of his plaintive, melodic Sydämeni laulu (The Song of my Heart). The title of Lotta Wennäkoski's work, Vestige, is a fitting symbol for the whole collection.

 Léo Marillier, jeune violoniste de grand talent, étudiant au Conservatoire de Paris mais déjà concertiste, manifeste également un vif intérêt pour l'écriture, Dans la ligne des paraphrases d'airs d'opéras qu'affectionnaient les virtuoses du 19ème siècle, il n'a pas craint de revisiter Don Giovanni et je peux témoigner du fait qu'il sait jouer lui-même sur scène les multiples difficultés techniques déposées sans prudence tout au long de la partition, C'est tout à l'honneur des éditions Delatour-France d'avoir accepté de publier cette première composition, en faisant le pari qu'elle sera suivie de beaucoup d'autres, Alexis Galpérine'Découvrant l'oeuvre de Liszt pendant l'été 2010, j'ai formé rapidement le projet d'en faire une transcription,Plutôt que de transporter les sortilèges du piano de cette oeuvre dans un duo violon-piano, j'ai essayé de donner un sens dramatique aux virtuosités : nervosité, excitation, humour, La version piano d'origine est d'une difficulté si magnifique qu'elle permet à très peu d'interprètes de laisser respirer leur jeu, notamment dans l'air du Champagne, Par conséquent, profitant de la nouvelle distribution violon-piano, j'ai multiplié les dialogues, les échanges qui aèrent la difficulté du jeu, tout en conservant, je l'espère, l'esprit lizstien, à savoir une alternance entre démonisme terrifiant et une simplicité d'évocation de messe de Mozart, Bien que ce soit une transcription, les rapports entre violon et piano sont finalement très rhapsodiques,Je me suis permis de faire des coupures par rapport à la version de piano uniquement quand les passages concernés servaient, dans la version originale, un but purement pianistique, Compte tenu du fait que la forme de l'oeuvre est unique - en fait un accelerando d'un quart d'heure -, et que j'ai cherché à lui donner un souffle différent des fantaisies opératiques déjà composées pour le violon, les parties violon et piano sont en symbiose, chacune participe du développement de l'autre,Pour ce faire, en termes de balance entre les deux instruments, il a fallu tout repenser que ce soit d'un point de vue dynamique, harmonique ou formel, Lors de la création en novembre 2011 pour le bicentenaire de la naissance de F, Liszt, au Ciurlionis Institut de Vilnius, à l'occasion d'une tournée en hommage au compositeur, je fus accompagné par la pianiste lituanienne Vaïva Purlyte,Et c'est, encouragé par mon professeur au CNSMDP, Alexis Galpérine, que j'ai présenté cette oeuvre aux Editions Delatour-France qui la fait paraître ce mois-ci,'Léo Marillier / Violon Et Piano

Violin and Piano. Par LOPEZ ALAIN. 'Le vent emporte les feuilles jaunies tombées sur les trottoirs, les cafés rentrent tables et chaises... J'évoque ici une balade automnale qu'il est bien difficile de faire tranquillement à Paris. Comment prendre son temps dans cette ville avec tant de rues à traverser (phrases musicales de 3 mesures), tant de voitures ou de bus à esquiver (départs des phrases musicales sur le 2ème temps). Certes, les vendeurs de marrons font leur apparition aux bouches de métro, mais comment ne pas presser le pas comme les autres (thème B) pour 'attraper' le métro...' - Alain LOPEZ Une Pièce originale adaptée pour une audition ou un examen de 1er Cycle C/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano
