With marked and unmarked string part-In 1873 following the rejection of his opera 'The King and the Charcoal Burner' Anton n Dvorák reached somewhat of a turning point in his career. Inspired to give his compositions a new direction he started to writepieces such as his String Quartet In F Minor Op. 9 in a new style that was less orientated towards Wagner. However much to his disappointment this new style was rejected by musicians. Notwithstanding this painful experienceDvorák gave the slow movement of the quartet a second chance reworking it as a Romance For Violin Or Orchestra In F Minor. It was first performed in 1877 to great acclaim. The fingerings and bowings byAntje Weithaas lend the Henle Urtext Edition of this jewel of Violin literature a special touch.

Ferdinand Küchler is regarded as one of the great violin teachers of the 20th century, due, in large part, to his popular violin method. His Concertino remains a popular entry-level piece for students to this day.The piece is characterized by simplicity, clarity and beauty. The themes and melodies are easily identifiable by children, yet never trite and plain. They are catchy and perfectly reflect Küchler's educational ideology - 'to always separate the difficulties and never demand that the pupil overcome two difficulties at once?. The work is also available in an arrangement for solo violin with string quartet accompaniment (with double-bass ad lib.)(Schott, SE 1002).

Benjamin Frankel's reputation is based on the cycle of five string quartets and eight symphonies which together with the powerfully beautiful concertos for violin and for viola rather overshadow many of his other fine pieces. The Violin Concerto grew from the composer's long and close association with Max Rostal a friendship which also inspired one of Frankel's perhaps best known compositions the First Sonata for Solo Violin.Frankel's exciting Concerto For Violin And Orchestra Op.24 has been beautifully arranged for Violin with Piano Reduction by Philip G. Jones. The solo violin part is also included on a separate insert.

Klavierauszug-The Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in G major was written in 1802 and published in 1803 as opus 40 while the earlier Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 in F major was written in1798 but not published until 1805 as opus 50 leading to some confusion as to the actual chronology.
