Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack for Violin Solo. Par BOLOGNE JOSEPH. Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, was born Christmas Day, 1745, on the island of Guadeloupe, then a French colony, in the Caribbean Sea. The son of a wealthy plantation owner and a slave, he rose to unimaginable heights in French society thanks to his excellence in many things including math, literature, and fencing, but most of all, music. He rose to become one of the most popular violinists and composers in France, even hired to provide music lessons for the imperious Marie Antoinette who would become the last queen of France. Bologne's amazing life story came to life in the 2022 film Chevalier. Our matching folio includes original works by Bologne as well as violin solo arrangements of the score by Kris Bowers and featuring Violin Duel by Michael Abels. The book also includes a short biography of Bologne's life story. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Recueil / Violon

Critical Edition Violin Solo Part. Par KORNGOLD ERICH WOLFGANG. This new edition of the violin solo part to the Korngold Violin Concerto in D Major is the first-ever to include Jascha Heifetz's performance notations, edited by Endre Granat, one of his star proteges. Born in Austria, Korngold was forced into US exile by the annexation of Austria by the Nazis. He vowed to give up composing anything other than film music until Hitler was defeated. With the end of World War II, he retired from films to concentrate on music for the concert hall. The violin concerto was the first such work that Korngold wrote following some initial persuasion from violinist and fellow émigré Bronislaw Huberman. Korngold was hurt by the assumption that he had sold his integrity to Hollywood. He was thus determined to prove himself with a work that combined vitality and superb craftsmanship. Korngold composed his Violin Concerto in D major, Op.35, in 1945, dedicating it to Alma Mahler, the widow of his childhood mentor, Gustav Mahler. The work was premiered on February, 15 1947 by Jascha Heifetz and the St. Louis Symphony under conductor Vladimir Golschmann. It received the most enthusiastic ovation in St. Louis concert history at the time. On March 30, 1947, Heifetz played the concerto in Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Efrem Kurtz: the broadcast performance was recorded on transcription discs. Heifetz's performance launched the work into the standard repertoire, and it quickly became Korngold's most popular piece. Concerning Heifetz's performance of the work, the composer wrote, In spite of the demand for virtuosity in the finale, the work with its many melodic and lyric episodes was contemplated more for a Caruso than for a Paganini. It is needless to say how delighted I am to have my concerto performed by Caruso and Paganini in one person: Jascha Heifetz./ Répertoire / Violon

Edizione critica di Italo Vescovo. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. Paganini's Tema variato for solo violin (M.S. 82) is a work dating from the composer's juvenile period, written between the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth, a period in which works such as his (M.S. 1) for violin and guitar, the posthumous 'Grande concerto' (E minor concerto M.S. 75), and Inno patriottico for violin (M.S. 81) were composed. Organised as a theme followed by seven variations, the piece showcases a decidedly virtuosic musical writing, with numerous technical gestures that seem to prelude the Capricci op. 1 (rapid arpeggiated passages, wide leaps, double stops, etc.) together with a search for unusual effects, such as 'organetto” and 'flagioletto” (the use of simple or double harmonics). The Tema variato is a significant work both in terms of its historical-instrumental importance and its musical quality, where the carefully thought-out organization of the variations, each with its own distinctive character, is evident. This critical edition is based on the manuscript kept in the Historical Archives of the Municipality of Genoa (ms. 1793) compared with the 1999 Suvini Zerboni edition. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Violon

Allerheiligentag V. Par LINJAMA JYRKI. The material for Jyrki Linjama's Allerheiligentag cycle is a Finnish folk chorale for All Saints' Day (no. 146 in the Finnish Hymn Book). The first work in the cycle is a string trio (2007), the second a piece for orchestra (2009), and the fourth and fifth are solo works for viola da gamba (2018) and Sonata for violin solo (2019). The composer tells: 'The choice of topic and material was originally influenced by the place where the string trio would be premiered ? the old church on the island of Seili (Själö) in the Turku archipelago. The bleak history of the mental hospital on the island invited images of suffering and death. I got so attached to the fine, bleak melody that this series of works began to emerge.' Lasting 17 minutes, the sonata for solo violin has three movements, all of them embracing the folk choral material and Béla Bartók?s influence in different ways. It was premiered by Kaija Saarikettu at the Kaustinen Chamber Music Festival in 2020. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Violon

Description The 12th of November 2014 was a day of glory for the Rosetta mission: after a ten-year journey in space, the Philae lander ? a minuscule robot whose job was to gather scientific data ? set down on the comet Churi to analyse the composition of the soil and evolution of its structure when the shooting star approaches the Sun. This technical prowess also produced photos. Contemplating them could only inspire Allain Gaussin, a follower of spectral music and very keen on astrophysics. How might one translate the intensity of the impressions felt by the viewer of these aerospace photos? Philae, for solo Violin, chooses to make contrasts collide: the smooth and the rough, the bright and the dark, the bounce and the static. As always, Gaussin seeks to explore the particularities of Violin playing: suddenly arise in turn a fervent motif ? this exponential crescendo obtained by means of bow momentum ?, harmonic constellations of spiccato demisemiquavers, then a series of repeated notes on the instrument's open third string, which are finally softened by rolled bowing. As a veritable 'astromusician', the composer embarks on the conquest of new sound spaces.

An Introduction to Folk Styles, Technique and Improvisation. This in-depth tutor book, from renowned fiddle player and teacher Chris Haigh, is perfect for classical violinists and fiddle players looking to master the art. Covering all aspects of folk violin technique from ornamentation to modes and scales, and from scordatura to improvisation and composition. The book is centred around Irish traditional music, but also dips into English, Scottish, Scandinavian, East European, Klezmer, Cajun and American Old-Time traditions. Accompanied by audio recordings (to download) of all pieces performed by Chris Haigh with a live backing band. Folk fiddle and classical violin are as different as chalk and cheese. At first glance, folk might seem so simple it's hardly worth bothering with. The tunes are often no more than 32 bars long, they stay in first position, and they don't even have a composer. However, it's what's NOT written on the page that makes folk fiddle so interesting and challenging. This book attempts to explore, from general observation down to the finest detail, what the fiddler needs to know to bring these tunes alive. We need to understand their history and context, their purpose, their structure and pulse. And we need to be able to add all the stylistic elements that come not from reading the music, but from years of immersion in folk music, both listening and playing. Key areas covered include: Tune types and structures Ornamentation Bowing Modes and scales Scordatura Starts, endings and links Variation, improvisation and composition Playing tunes in 'sets” Regional and individual style Playing in sessions, for contests, and for dancing / Niveau : 3 / Pédagogie / Etude / Violon

Without any doubt J.S. Bach?s cycle of the three Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 represents one of the pinnacles of classical European music. According to C.P.E. Bach a contemporary voice stated that there was ?nothing more accomplished in order to become a good violinist? than his father?s works. The cycle reflects the entire harmonic and polyphonic musical universe of Bach?s time, so masterfully composed that it can be rendered within the limited framework of but a single instrument the violin.
The new publication of the Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 (BA 5256) constitutes a complete revision of our older edition (BA 5116). The musical text has been edited by Peter Wollny and represents the most up-to-date state of research as published in the New Bach Edition Revised (NBArev), volume BA 5937-01. The edition is mainly based on Bach?s unusually clear autograph which is considered among the most beautiful manuscripts by the composer. All relevant secondary sources have been taken into consideration in order to clarify ambiguities. These include five contemporary copies, including one by Anna Magdalena Bach, and four manuscripts from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The musical text has been newly engraved with a clear and generous layout, whereby page turns and pagination have been retained from the previous edition. This allows the straightforward navigation between a copy of the previous and this new edition. The detailed Preface (Ger/Eng) provides information on the genesis of the Sonatas and Partitas, their context and the sources.

Par BERTAND ELISE. J'ai composé cette Sonate pour violon seul Op.16, entre octobre 2021 et mai 2022, pour trois violonistes que j'admire et qui ont une grande importance pour moi. Le premier mouvement, dédié à Jacques Ghestem, s'inspire d'une sensation de liberté et d'un souffle spontané que j'ai ressentis en jouant Rhapsodie Musings d'Elliott Carter, issu des Four Lauds pour violon seul. Jacques Ghestem, investi tout au long de sa vie dans la mise en valeur de la musique contemporaine, m'a notamment transmis depuis mes dix ans (à travers de longues discussions mais aussi à travers sa pédagogie) sa vision de la musique et son goût pour la musique de notre temps, tout en partageant avec moi son univers intérieur empli de souvenirs et de création musicale. Il était ainsi bien naturel de composer pour lui ce premier mouvement, dont les spécificités harmoniques et instrumentales ont été imaginées pour son dédicataire. Le deuxième mouvement est composé pour David Grimal, violoniste que j'ai toujours admiré depuis mon enfance. Son originalité, sa liberté, ses interprétations fougueuses sur scène ont continué de m'émouvoir et de m'inspirer lorsque j'ai participé comme violoniste au sein de son orchestre Les Dissonances. C'est lors de son interprétation de L'Aurore, issue de la cinquième Sonate pour violon seul d'Ysaye, qu'il a donnée à la Philharmonie de Paris en janvier 2022, que j'ai eu l'idée de composer pour lui ce mouvement lent, suspendu et rhapsodique. Le finale est dédié à la violoniste Sarah Nemtanu, que j'ai rencontrée pour la première fois en septembre 2021 à Radio France, où elle enregistrait mon Divertimento Op.15 avec trois de ses collègues de l'Orchestre National de France. Cette rencontre fulgurante d'une journée, musicale et humaine, a été une vraie lumière en ce jour de septembre, un échange d'une vision de la vie et de la musique, où j'allais vers elle à travers mon écriture, tandis qu'elle allait vers moi avec son interprétation. Symbole pour moi d'amitié et d'estime, ma Sonate pour violon seul a été inspirée tout au long de la composition par ces trois dédicataires bienveillants et éclairants, qui ont guidé mon chemin et ont su apporter une lumière dans ma vie d'artiste interprète et compositrice.
