Les dix sonates pour piano et violon de Beethoven, ainsi que celles de Mozart, constituent le c'ur de ce genre de musique classique. Suivant l'exemple des dernières sonates de Mozart, Beethoven laisse la partie violon devenir de plus en plus indépendante de la partie piano. Non seulement l'édition critique de Clive Brown propose un texte méticuleusement édité, mais elle présente pour la première fois une liste de références et un rapport critique. De plus, Brown documente un grand nombre de passages où la notation soulève quelques questions, selon les normes actuelles. Ces passages avaient auparavant été négligés dans le manuscrit autographe, mais leur signification est maintenant clarifiée. Un exemple peut être trouvé dans le « Tempo di Minuetto » de Beethoven, extrait de la Sonat op. 30 n ° 3, où il utilise une idiosyncratie notationnelle basée sur le livre de son fils C.P.E. Bach « Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen », pour indiquer une pause. Ce symbole musical, figurant dans la première édition publiée du vivant de Beethoven, n'a été abordé dans aucune édition moderne à ce jour. De plus, une partition dénotant un accord arpégé ne peut pas non plus être retrouvée dans les éditions modernes précédentes.

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven’s Sonatas for Pianoforte and Violin are now available at a special set price. The set consists of volume I (BA 9014) and volume II (BA 9015). Beethoven’s ten sonatas for piano and violin, along with those by Mozart, constitute the heart of this classical music genre. Following the lead of Mozart’s late sonatas, Beethoven lets the violin part become increasingly independent from the piano part. Not only does Clive Brown’s scholarly critical edition offer a meticulously edited text but for the first time it presents a list of sources and a Critical Report. Furthermore Brown documents a great number of passages where, by today’s standards, the notation raises some questions. These passages had previously been overlooked in the autograph but their significance is now clarified. One example can be found in Beethoven’s “Tempo di Minuetto” from Sonata op. 30 No. 3, where he uses a notational idiosyncracy based on C.P.E. Bach’s “Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen” to denote a rest. This musical symbol, which was included in the first edition published during Beethoven’s lifetime, has not been addressed in any modern edition to date. In addition, a score through a chord can also not be found in previous modern editions - this denotes an arpeggiated chord./ Recueil / Violon et Piano

Take A Walk Through Aleksey Igudesman'S Imaginary Garden!. Par IGUDESMAN ALEKSEY. Aleksey Igudesman might reasonably be described as a modern day Victor Borge. With his cabaret partner, Hyung-ki Joo, he has toured concert halls all over the world, wringing all that is humorous out of classical music with just the basic tools of violin and piano. 'In my Garden 1” shows Igudesman in another light, that of a violin teacher, providing excellent material for younger violin students. Each piece depicts a fruit or vegetable to be found growing in the garden and includes a short poem (in English, French and German) and pictures to inspire the pupil and help them to interpret the music. But these are not just fun to play - they conceal useful study material to improve technique like staccato or lyrical smooth bowing. Clever use of double stops (one note always an open string) will help the student make a more rewarding sound and inspire confidence. Grade 1 students can enjoy some of the pieces and still be dipping into it a year or two later. A piano part is included to make these pieces ideal for an end-of-term concert and, for more ideas, Igudesman has also depicted animals in similar fashion in his two volumes 'In the Zoo”./ Recueil / Violon et Piano
