Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was paid three guineas for the publishing rights to his Suite de Pièces by Schott & Co. London on 24 December 1892 when the composer was just 17 years old. In the following year the work was published by Schott Music's German office in versions for both violin with piano and violin with organ. Coleridge-Taylor was born in London and brought up in Croydon. He learnt to play the violin, was recognized as a child prodigy and at 15 was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music with Charles Villiers Stanford, where he was a contemporary of Holst and Vaughan Williams. Coleridge-Taylor described himself Anglo-African and, despite support from his colleagues, faced racism throughout his whole career. In spite of this prejudice and his tragically early death in 1912 aged just 37, he enjoyed great success during his lifetime and his music was performed at the Proms no less than 116 times between 1898 and 1939. In contrast, since 1940 his music has only been heard there on eleven occasions. Like many works, at some point in the past Suite de Pièces became out of print. Schott Music is very proud to present this new modern performing edition of the version for violin and piano. Errors and inconsistencies from the first edition have now been corrected.

Die Sonate op. 38 entstand im November und Dezember 2000 und ist das einzige unmittelbar autobiographische Stuck, das ich bisher komponiert habe. Es ist dem Gedenken eines toten Freundes gewidmet, den ich 17 Jahre lang aus den Augen verloren und im Sommer 2000 auf dem Friedhof wiedergefunden habe. Ein wahrend der Zeit unserer Freundschaft im Herbst 1983 entstandener Plan fur eine Violinsonate konnte nun verwirklicht werden. Die Initialen des Widmungstragers - A.F. - beherrschen die gesamte Struktur des Werkes. Der erste, in unaufhaltsamer, wilder Bewegung voransturmende Satz speist sich aus zwei ausladenden gesanglichen Themen, das erste aus dem Intervall A - F, das zweite aus dem Intervall (E)S - H gewonnen, die von unaufhorlichen Sechzehntelbewegungen des Klaviers vorangetrieben werden. Der zweite Satz schweisst drei Formteile in einen grossen Variationssatz zusammen: Zunachst Thema und funf Variationen uber Brahms' Volkslied Da unten im Tale, dann ein variierter Scherzosatz uber eben dieses Thema und schliesslich eine gedrangte Passacaglia, die auf der Basis des Klanges A - F die vergangenen musikalischen Ereignisse zusammenpresst. Zum Schluss erscheint noch einmal das Brahms-Lied in entruckter Klanggestalt in der entfernten Tonart E-Dur. Der Text dieses Liedes lautet: Da unten im Tale laufts Wasser so trub,Und i kann dirs net sagen, i hab di so lieb. Sprichst allweil von Lieb, sprichst allweil von Treu,und a bissele Falschheit is au wohl dabei. Und wenn i dirs zehnmal sag, dass i di lieb,und du willst nit verstehen, muss i halt weiterziehen. Fur die Zeit, wo du g'liebt mi hast, dank i dir schon,und i wunsch, das dirs anderswo besser mag gehen. - Stefan Heucke.
