'Three Scherzi for violin and piano follow closely the Minuet and Trio form used so often for lighter movements in eighteenth and early nineteenth century sonatas and symphonies. In each piece the Minuet isdivided into two sections and each section is repeated; similarly the Trio section is also divided into two repeated sections in which the music is generally more gently paced. After the Trio the minuet is played againimmediately this time without repeats. In these Scherzi I have chosen to use variants of the original of each section in most instances rather than make exact repetitions. The first Scherzo lasts approximately 3 minutes thesecond 6 minutes and the third 2 minutes. Part of my interest and purpose in writing these pieces was to use an identical but highly elastic form for three pieces of different durations. I was also intrigued by the form’shistorical development and evolution into the Scherzo and I hope this explains the atmosphere and style of the music.The material for each of the three pieces is different although the harmonic and rhythmic worlds ofeach one are similar and as a result they do form a complete work in three movements. However each of the three Scherzi may be played separately. These three pieces were written between September 2004 and August2007.'Brian Elias

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.
