10 Duets. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.IGUDESMAN ALEKSEY). A violinist and a cellist having fun together! Whoever heard of such a thing? But that is exactly what Alexey Igudesman has provided for in his 'Violin and Violoncello and More”. He has responded to popular demand and arranged - no, recreated! - duets from his previous publications for two violins. These encompass many different styles but always with Alexsey's own individual and quirky touch. The contents list reads like a world tour, passing through Scotland, Ireland, Israel, Khazakhstan and many other countries. Igudesman took great care to 'custom make” the cello part as he wanted these arrangements to be as musically valuable as his original versions. He encourages the players to be creative, adding improvisation or even choreography but, above all, to have fun. These pieces will suit intermediate players who want to be stretched or more advanced students who simply want to let their hair down!/ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

Par HOLLIGER HEINZ. Here's proof, if you ever needed it, that contemporary music can be humourous. Want to hear Mendelssohn's Wedding March beefed up with Wagner's Tristan? And enjoy listening out for the well-known melody of 'Tea for two' in the escapades of 'Three for two'? The entertaining collection were composed individually, and for a variety of purpose - some were congratulatory messages for well-known fellow musicians such as Elliott Carter or Thomas Demenga, but some were just composed while waiting at a bus stop! Hence, the pieces can be played either as effective encore pieces./ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

Par GAGNEUX RENAUD. Opus 52, duo pour violon et violoncelle (ecrit lorsque j'ai eu 52 ans !!), est une parenthèse dans ma production. C'est une fantaisie qui debute par l'utilisation de la tessiture commune aux deux instruments (4ème corde du violon, 1ère corde du violoncelle), traitee chromatiquement par 'frottements' sonores. S'ensuivent des series d'harmoniques naturels (sons etheres obtenus en effleurant les cordes à des endroits precis) et d'arpèges serres interrompus à deux reprises par des reminiscences de musiques populaires evoquant ces 'violoneux' jadisjuches sur un tonneau pour faire danser la foule. ' Renaud Gagneux Opus 52 a ete enregistre par Nathanaë lle Marie et Christophe Beau sur le CD 'Renaud Gagneux oeuvres pour cordes'/ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

(2 Playing Scores). Par GRECO JOSE LUIS. An intimate picture of a picture for violin and cello. A woman stands at a window, her back to the camera. Her silhouette is mesmerizing, seductive. Her posture and long braid of hair evoke an unspoken melancholy. / Date parution : 2022-04-26/ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

Par RAVEL MAURICE. In 1920 Maurice Ravel was asked by his publisher Durand to contribute to an issue of La Revue Musicale dedicated to Claude Debussy. A supplement included the first movement of Ravel’s Sonata as well as works contributed by Debussy’s friends Stravinsky, Satie, Dukas, Bartok and de Falla to name only a few. This 1st movement of Ravel’s Sonata, of which the autograph is lost, then developed into a large scale four movement chamber music work utilizing a more modern music vocabulary than found in almost any other Ravel composition. Bärenreiter’s scholarly-critical edition, the first ever of this masterpiece, presents the work in two performing scores. It contains anintroduction on the history of the work reflecting Ravel’s work and rehearsals with violinist Hélène Jourdan-Morhange and cellist Maurice Maréchal. Sources for this new edition include the engraved copy, the personal autograph scores (with earlier versions of some passages) which were used to rehearse the work and the first edition scores with emendations by Jourdan-Morhange and Maréchal. Included in the appendix are the original fingerings by the performers which are not found in the first edition. They reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. First Urtext edition of this work Two performing scores (format 25, 5 x 32, 5 cm) The violoncello part does not allow for page turns in the first movement; therefore the edition includes an additional violoncello part in small print presenting the entire first movement on a double page without a page turn Informative introduction to the genesis of the work (Ger/Eng/Fr) Critical commentary with facsimiles and appendices/ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

Par CURTIS MIKE. The huapango is a popular dance originating on the east coast of Mexico. Its subtle alternation of 2 and 3 can be demonstrated in this recitation: MEX-ico, EC-uador, CHI-le, COS-ta, RI-ca. These dances can be likened to diarist entries written during an extended stay in Mexico's west coast state of Nayarit. Following each sultry day of exploring the beaches, I would come back to the bungalow and seek out a spezial cool corridor to put pencil to staff. The titles reveal favorite places and the name of our esteemed bungalow manager, Ofelia Silva. The addition of an improvising percussionist could enhance performance./ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle
