Alexis
Weissenberg (1929-2012)
numbers among the most
prominent pianists of the
20th Century. That he was
also a composer is less
well known, though he
wrote a whole series of
works, notably for his
own instrument, the piano
(Piano Works, Schott ED
22923). His Romance for
violin and piano may be
considered something of a
rarity. Musical child
prodigy Alexis wrote this
little Romantic piece in
March 1943 in Jerusalem,
where he and his mother
had fled from Sofia
following their
internment as descendants
of Jews. The Romance is a
melancholy 'Song Without
Words', simple and
poignant in effect. This
first edition is based on
the original manuscript.
