Double Concerto in a minor op.102-The cellist Robert Hausmann had actually requested a Cello concerto - but Brahms paired the Cello with a Violin in his 'Double Concerto'. The unusual work has already been available as part of the newBrahms Complete Edition for several years.Using Brahms? original Piano reduction Johannes Umbreit has produced a playable Piano setting that optimally renders the colourfulness of the score. The fingerings andbowings for the string parts have been supplied by the experienced soloists Frank Peter Zimmermann and Heinrich Schiff. The orchestral parts based on the Complete Edition are available from Breitkopf & Härtel (PB/OB 16104).

Frederick Delius' Double Concerto for Violin Cello and Orchestra with orchestral Piano reduction by Philip Heseltine.

Score and parts for Simon Holt's Piano Trio: Los Ojos for Piano Violin and Cello.Piano Trio: Los Ojos was first performed on 25th November 2013 in the Amaryllis Fleming ConcertHall at the Royal College of Music London by Johannes Marm?n (Violin) Zo? Saubat (Cello) and Gwenaelle Rouger (Piano).I finished writing Piano trio: Los Ojos in early May 2007. It is approximately13 minutes long and has a three-movement structure of essentially two slow movements separated by a central fast section. The final slow movement is a variation of the opening movement ending with a ?toy? defined by ThomasMace(a contemporary of William Lawes) in his 1676 book Musicke?s Monument as ?a light-Squibbish Thing only fit for Fantastical and Easie-Light-Headed People; and are of any sort of Time?.The Machado poem behindthe piece Los Ojos (the eyes) is about a widower who has locked himself away but after a year begins to wonder about the colour of his beloved?s eyes. He is horrified that he can?t remember. One spring day he leaves the houseand just happens to glimpse a flash of eyes through a window and instantly recalls the colour; ??Como esos!?; ?Like those!?. The three movements have the titles: 1] su memoria y el espejo ?his memory and the mirror?; 2] ?Comoeran? ?How were they??; and 3] ?Como esos! ?Like those!?. - Simon Holt

Per Violino, Violoncello E Pianoforte. Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist, he began to give public performances at the age of 13, making his debut in his home town Rosario. Following this success, he embarked upon an extremely busy career as a soloist, giving numerous recitals in Buenos Aires and other citiesin Argentina. He continued to take advanced lessons with eminent exponents of the most prestigious international piano schools. In 1974 he became an Italian citizen and settled in Rome, teaching piano as principal instrument at the S. Pietro a Majella StateConservatory in Naples, the Luisa DAnnunzio Conservatory in Pescara and the Alfredo Casella Conservatory in Aquila. As a composer, he began - at just 9 years of age - to study in the rigorous school of Paul Hindemith, under the guidance of Father Luis Machado, from whom he inherited a love of counterpoint and a strong taste for harmony. He took a diploma incomposition, counterpoint and fugue at the age of 16 at the Amigos del Arte Society in Rosario, going on in 1964 to do an advanced course in 12-tone counterpoint at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The catalogue of his compositions, which has nowreached Op. 55, encompasses a huge range of instrumental/vocal chamber music and symphonic works: a vast and articulated catalogue, in which Sergio Calligaris’s composition expresses its inspiration through the dramatic development of a dialecticalcontrast between the two natures of the composer’s personality - the elegiac and the dithyrambic - which confront and interact with each other giving rise to artistic outcomes of a deeply moving nature. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano
