Ein Album für junge Leute. Par SHEKOV. Une rafraîchissante 'facile à vivre' pièce contemporaine de la musique, pas forcément facile dans la mesure où son niveau de difficulté est concerné - ce qui est plutôt du côté intermédiaire - mais qui se rapporte à son style caractéristique. Ces pièces sont très variées à la fois musicalement et techniquement, la relation entre le violon et le piano est équilibré, et les deux parties à peu près le même niveau de difficulté. Par conséquent, cet album est adapté pour des concerts et des compétitions semblables, mais aussi à la maison, cette musique apporte beaucoup de plaisir. Le compositeur bulgare Ivan Shekov (* 1942) vit en Allemagne depuis 1980 et a été proche de la maison d'édition depuis./ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

'Romance for violin and piano is a short reflective piece that exploits the lyrical qualities inherent in the combination. Originally written for a very young but talented violinist Romance travels through numerous moods andcolours within a continuous musical development of the opening material. At first gentle and reflective with increasing dramatic outbursts outlined by the violin sforzandi and parallel sixths in the piano writing numerous shortsolo passages in both instruments culminate in a fiery climax. Quickly subsiding into the calmer yet now more melancholy strains of the earlier stages of the piece the ending is somewhat incomplete. This seems to suggest acontinuous turn of events alluded to in the music.'???????????? - Helen GrimeBorn in 1981 Helen studied oboe with JohnAnderson and composition with Julian Anderson and Edwin Roxburgh at the Royal College of Music.

Fünf Ausgewählte Lieder-Mahler for violin and piano? Why not! The violin is probably the instrument most akin to the human voice and Mahler was a prolific song writer. Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili has chosen five songs in arrangements by Ronald Kornfeil to enhance her own and others? concert repertoire. She offers a selection from ?Aus der Jugendzeit? ?Fahrenden Gesellen? and ?Des Knaben Wunderhorn? including the gorgeous ?Urlicht?. The full-throated piano accompaniments of these originally orchestral songs will not only do the songs justice but also remind us of their use in Mahler?s symphonies where of course the solo violin often featured. With no huge technicaldemands these arrangements can be tackled even by intermediate players and will offer students a rewarding exercise in powerful yet lyrical playing.

Ravel, Maurice Tzigane Concert rhapsody for violin and piano In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D?Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D?Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel?s virtuoso classic ?Tzigane?. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano, producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon), the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel later orchestrated ?Tzigane? and both versions remain a ?must? for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D?Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel?s masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version, complete with full score and performance material, as well as in the composer?s earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources, including letters, have been drawn on for the new edition; one of the available sources, consulted for the first time, was a copy of ?Tzigane? from the estate of Jelly D?Aranyi, which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains, besides the Urtext part, a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D?Aranyi. D?Aranyi?s alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D?Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto. - First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work - Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and piano - Includes Jelly D?Aranyi?s fingering

Tzigane for Violin and Piano-Maurice Ravel's Tzigane for Violin and Piano. Urtext edition full score.Composed in 1924 there are three versions of this work: with Piano with Orchestra and with Luthéal a device forKeyboard instruments to extend the timbre.?Virtuoso piece in the style of a Hungarian rhapsody? thus reads Ravel?s entry on Tzigane in the so-called 'Autobiographical Sketch'.Tzigane was inspired by the Hungarian-English violinist Jelly d?Aranyi to whom Ravel had already promised a virtuoso piece in 1922 following Franz Liszt?s ?Hungarian Rhapsodies?. Work progressed slowlyand d?Aranyi only received the music four days before the première but she still gave a brilliant performance.

Ursula Mamlok was born in Berlin in 1923, but was forced to emigrate via Ecuador to New York in 1939 because of her Jewish descent.
