From
my early years studying
violin at the Tehran
Music Conservatory, I was
captivated by the sound
of the kamancheh, an
ancient Persian bowed
instrument considered one
of the ancestors to the
modern violin. I was
pleased when the National
Endowment for the Arts
awarded me a grant to
write a violin concerto
as it provided me with an
occasion to rekindle my
fascination with the
kamancheh. The notion of
writing a violin concerto
that would incorporate
the power and brilliance
of a modern instrument
with the delicate and
lyrical character of an
ancient one was simply
irresistible. Moreover,
the inspiration from the
kamancheh also informed
my use of Persian modes,
melodic, and rhythmic
figures. The notes of the
violins open strings (G,
D, A, E) also influenced
many of the melodic and
harmonic elements of my
violin concerto. The
opening tutti is mostly
based on intervals of a
perfect 4th and 5th. The
primary material for each
movement incorporates
notes of two of the open
strings of the violin,
creating a three-note
melodic motif as the
basis of themes: 1 st
movement: A-D-A 2nd
movement: D-G-D 3rd
movement: E-A-E The
overall structure of the
concerto is organic and
cyclical, as themes are
shared between the three
movements. For example,
the main musical idea of
the third movement is a
transformation of the
first movements primary
theme. While the
movements share similar
musical materials, each
one is defined by
distinguishing
characters. The first
movement is conflicted;
alternating between
sections of unabashed
lyricism and unforgiving
ferocity. The second
movement is haunting,
mysterious, and
expressive with long
melodic lines that vary
continuously. It moves
through different moods
and characters including
a reimagining of a
traditional Persian
wedding tune played by
the orchestra (m. 98).
The third movement is
festive in character and
features much brilliant
passagework for the solo
violin. At the climax of
this movement, themes
from the previous
movements re-emerge
simultaneously with
greater intensity,
propelling the concerto
to an energetic finale.

in 1994 and is dedicated

Th
e Caprice d'Adieu
(autograph unknown) is
appended to Eduard
Eliason's Six Caprices
Caractéristiques
pour le Violon, Op. 12,
which was published in
Mayence by B. Schott in
1833. This piece, which
Paganini dedicated to
Eliason, is part of a
series of compositions
for violin solo that have
been widely ignored by
both performers and
scholars of the great
Genoese musician. It is a
composition whose size
and structure (A-B-A,
with two refrains)
follows the pattern of
some of his Capricci, Op.
1, but, unlike these
proper studies, the
Caprice d'adieu is
lighter and more lively
in character. Although
not as brilliant,
musically, as the
Capricci, it still
contains some original
musical ideas, mostly
articulated in two parts
with a few complex
technical passages and a
central, contrasting
section featuring
different dynamics and a
range of chords and
trills. This critical
edition is based on the
first edition and is
collated with the most
important nineteenth and
twentieth-century
editions.

Performance Notes
General: The set-up on
stage is important, with
two Violin groups on each
side on the platform:
Vilin 1 lefts and Violin
2 right, as seen from the
audience 1st Movement :
In bar 1 &, 7 the
entire string group
should adjust their
intonation to the Double
Basses and their natural
harmonics. In the rest of
the movement
normalintonation should
be used. The slow and
rhythmical vibrato pulse
should follow the accents
2nd Movement : The 10/5
meter is divided into two
beats, and the dotted
lines show the position
of the second beat in
each bar 3rd Movement :
no comment 4th Movement :
The very high harmonics
are intended as mostly a
high 'airy' sound. The
small gliss/portamenti
that will invariably
occur in the fast shofts
of positions are
intended.
