For Piano and Violin.Composed for Hilary Hahn Avner Dorman's inspiration for Memory Games is the classic 1980’s memory game ‘Simon.’ The original game has four colored buttons each with a distinct sound and a light bulb behind it. The machine illuminates and sounds a string of notes at random; the players have to repeat the patterns. Several rounds of Simon are played throughout Memory Games so to speak making it resemble a Passacaglia (or variations on a bass line).'Avner Dorman’s labyrinthine Memory Games based on the memory game Simon...offered gorgeous and palatable social and historicalcommentary.' -- Erica Zora Wrightson Los Angeles Times

für Klavier und Violine-In autumn 1765 Mozart?s family was in Holland not least at the request of Princess Caroline von Nassau-Weilburg. The fame of the prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus had already reached her so that she ?had an extraordinary desire to seethis child? (according to Leopold Mozart). The Sonatas for Piano K. 26 31 that can also have a violin accompaniment were composed in The Hague. They were published in 1766 and were naturally dedicated to the princess. An earlycopy which has nothing to do with Mozart was consulted by the New Mozart Edition as a primary source alongside the first edition. Our Urtext edition revises the musical text deleting the misleading additions from thissource.With marked and unmarked string parts.

Par SEVERN EDMUND. Edmund Severn (1862–1942) was an American composer and violinist. Born in England, he studied in various cities including Berlin and composed works for unaccompanied violin, orchestra and string quartet. “Polish Dance” is his best-known work. Written in the style of a mazurka, it is an invitation to this dance form with its distinctive local colour. Many ritardandos and rubatos add rhythmic spice: wide leaps, double stops and three-note chords ensure delightful melodic and harmonic turns. Expressive dynamics provide the necessary vim to this “Polish Dance”! / Niveau : 2 / Date parution : 2018-01-05/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Bach, Johann Sebastian Concerto for Violin, Strings and Basso Continuo G minor Reconstructed from BWV 1056 - Reconstructed from the Urtext of the ?New Bach Edition? - Meticulous analysis and evaluation of the sources - Interpretative leeway for keyboard players This violin concerto in G minor has not come down to us in the form presented here. It has been reconstructed from a lost violin concerto that survives solely in Bach?s arrangement for harpsichord, namely, as the Harpsichord Concerto in F minor (BWV 1056). The reconstruction is based on a meticulous evaluation of those autograph harpsichord concertos that also survive in an original version for violin. In particular, the autograph harpsichord parts contain changes that Bach made when preparing his arrangements, thereby revealing the manner in which he transcribed his solo violin works for the harpsichord. The keyboard realization is presented in a transparent way allowing players the possibility to embellish and fill in the harmonies at their discretion.

Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Felix Konzert für Violine und Orchester e-Moll op. 64 Zweite Fassung 1845 Edition no.BA 9099-90 ISMN 9790006564347 Editor Todd, R. Larry / Brown, Clive Mendelssohn?s Violin Concerto op. 64, is a key work of the 19th century, adhering to the classical style of Beethoven while pointing the way to the romantic ethos of Brahms. It has long been known that Mendelssohn performed the work with three soloists in succession: Ferdinand David, who worked closely with the composer during its composition and played it at the première; the ?child prodigy? Joseph Joachim; and Hubert Léonard, a young Belgian virtuoso about whom little is known. As proof sheets for the Violin Concerto in E minor were long considered lost, it could be described as somewhat of a sensation when proofs for the solo violin part resurfaced together with a letter from Mendelssohn to Léonard. The letter informs us that the composer invited Léonard to his home in Frankfurt in order to make his acquaintance. It was already known that Mendelssohn had given proof sheets to David; now we know that he also gave some to Léonard. The recently discovered proofs reveal how Léonard played the concerto with Mendelssohn on that memorable evening in February 1845. Besides containing bowing marks and fingering, they also show how Léonard executed shifts of position and where he employed open strings. Furthermore modifications made to dynamic markings and additional legato bowing are shown. It is safe to assume that all of this was done with Mendelssohn?s approval. That the young violinist made a positive impression on the composer is confirmed in the latter?s correspondence following their joint performance. Mendelssohn is full of praise for Léonard?s playing and offers to lend his support in finding employment in Germany. This revised edition of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (only the orchestral parts remain unchanged) includes a separate booklet on performance practice. The editor, Clive Brown, is an acknowledged expert on Romantic performance practice. - New source situation owing to recently rediscovered proofs - Revised Urtext edition - With a separate booklet on performance practice (Eng/Ger)

The Concerto For Violin And Orchestra In E (BWV 1042) was written in three movements: Allegro Adagio Allegro Assai. Its history is somewhat vague as no autograph manuscript survives. Originallyscored for Violin Strings and Continuo it is presented here with a Piano reduction. Editorial suggestions for bowing and fingering have been provided together with a ?clean? copy for the violinist?s own use. J. S.Bach (1685-1750) was a German Baroque composer who is revered for the originality and skill of his contrapuntal and harmonic techniques. He spent most of his life working as an organist and choirmaster but was also employedas a composer a many different Royal Courts.

On Fire is in one movement fast slow fast with a quiet coda section. The first part is a combination of contemporary rock linn drum patterns in the piano part with Jimi Hendrix-like North Indian cello lines. It builds up toa crescendo leading to a quiet section. Out of this comes a slow movement and a cadenza for the solo cello. In the final section all the elements of the piece at last come together. It is dedicated to Jacqueline du Pré and muchof the string writing is highly influenced by Nigel Kennedy?s revolutionary style of playing.
