Music Minus One Violin-This album contains two of the Romantic Era's neglected treasures. Henryk Wieniawski though little known today was a potent figure in the 19th century an almost unparalleled virtuoso violinist and a respected composer. His D minor concerto op. 22 was premiered in St. Petersburg in 1862 and is a Romantic-era treasure. Pablo de Sarasate's 'Zigeunerweisen' ('Gypsy ways') is a wonderful fantasia on Romany themes composed in 1878. Both of these concerti are wonderful and often overlooked. But take our advice and discover them - they will not disappoint! Contains a printed score and a compact disc featuring both concerti in split-channel stereo with the violinist on the rightchannel then again in a stereo accompaniment version minus the solo violin part. Performed by Geoffrey Applegate violin Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn

For Violin Solo (Galamian) with facsimile of the autograph manuscript-In 1717 Bach accepted a post as conductor and director of chamber music in the service of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cothen. The Prince employed a select Chamber Orchestra of around 16 players and so for the 6 year duration of hisservice Bach composed almost exclusiely secular instrumental music. It was during this period that the 3 Sonatas And 3 Partitas were composed. After Bach's death much of this glorious music was neglected and the6 Sonatas And Partitas were actually found in 1814 in St. Petersburg among a stack of old papers destined to be used as wrappings in a butter shop. This edition contains a facsimile of the original autograph.Scored for Solo Violin.

Attainable for almost everyone-Paganini wrote virtuoso violin music that could only be played by a few musicians. However in this book celebrated compositions by Paganini have been adapted and simplified in such a way that they are playable for practically every violinist - without violating the character and the typical features of his music. Tours de force such as pizzicato in the left hand ricochet and harmonics are retained in a simplified form so the pieces in Easy Paganini still sound spectacular and are very violinistic. When it comes to technical requirements for the left hand the third position (with the occasional further extension) will suffice.

Former Strad magazine Editor-in-Chief Eric Wen re-examines these classics with consideration for today's violinist with the first new modern edition in almost 100 years - meticulously re-engraved and attractively designed for years of use.

Swedish fiddle music has been greatly influenced by the surrounding countries. Evidence of this can be found in the names of some types of tunes such as Polska from Poland Schottis (a schottische) from Scotland and Engelskafrom England. Other popular types of tunes included in this collection are gånglåt which is a kind of march brudmarsch which is a wedding tune skänklåt which is played at weddings when gifts are given to the bride and groom andvals (a waltz). With Swedish music being very much an aural tradition there are almost as many versions of tunes as there are people who play them. For this reason the notation does not include much ornamentation leaving it upto the player. Second parts have been included with some of the tunes. Each tune includes a translation of the title.

Upbeat solos that expand into flexible ensembles. Versatile and suitable for almost any combination of instruments. Includes Summertime (from Porgy and Bess by Gershwin) Fascinating Rhythm (from Lady be Good by Gershwin) and Memories (from Cats by Lloyd Webber). Wind Brass and String books are available in the series.

The practice of letting the soloist improvise their own Cadenza during a Concerto had almost died out by the nineteenth century since composers disliked the way performers frequently used the oppurtunity to showcase their own virtuosic talent rather than working out a cadenza which would suit the music. These four Cadenzas for Mozart Beethoven Brahms and Paganini concerti however have been carefully worked out and performed by the modern violinist Nathan Milstein. They are extremely challenging but avoid 'empty virtuosity' - they have real musical value as one would expect from one of the finest Violinsts of the Twentieth Century. They can be used for performance or as astudy aid to the art of Cadenza improvisation. All four Concertos have been recorded by Milstein.

Par MENDONCA VASCO. 'Terrance Hayes? series of sonnets is an extraordinary collection of poems: his poetry captures the spiralling social and political chaos in America (and the world) in a way no newspaper article or scholarly essay has been able to; his words have the rare quality of clarifying a collective feeling that is messy and confusing, an elusive and disturbing combination of fear, hope, perhaps despair. I have never personally experienced (and probably never will) the reality Hayes writes about: the oppression, danger and ambiguity he reflects upon are alien to my own experience. But I nevertheless felt compelled to create something inspired by his words. To engage - how can you not engage? The first movement of ''A Box of Darkness with a Bird in its Heart'' is a hurtful ostinato with an uneven, organic pulse - not unlike the way we breathe under physical or emotional strain. The second is a quiet, delicate birdsong; its very high melody almost a secret that?s unwillingly shared - followed by an expressive lament. The ending in the low register brings me the image of a viola da gamba played outside in a warm summer night, a distant tale of violence and loss. In the final movement the energy picks up, in a relentless and unforgiving mechanism of pizzicati. This piece was written for the wonderful violinist Diana Tishchenko, and is dedicated to her.

Chandons Te Deum HWV 281. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Handel composed the 'Te Deum” in B-flat major HWV 281 in 1718 for the future Duke of Chandos, hence its nickname 'Chandos Te Deum”. Here it is called 'Te Deum for Cannons” after the Duke's stately home named Cannons where the first performance took place. The unusual scoring for flute, oboe, bassoon, trumpet, two violins and basso continuo plus a choir (one soprano, three tenors and a bass) probably reflects the musicians which were available at Cannons, bearing in mind that three tenors were used also in 'Acis and Galatea”, the masque which was composed at almost the same time. Though in many respects this 'Te Deum” is reminiscent of the 'Utrecht Te Deum”, its smaller forces tend to give it more the character of chamber music. This edition is based on the Urtext from the 'Halle Handel Edition” (BA 10708), which offers the first complete scholarly text of the music for the 'Te Deum”./ Répertoire / Violon 1 (Partie Séparée)
