Par DVORAK ANTONIN. The profound impression it makes on us is due in part to the sequence of variations on a death motif that seems to have been borrowed from the beginning of the second Kyrie from Bach's Mass in B minor. Written in 1890, it was commissioned by the publisher Novello for the Birmingham Music Festival and premiered there under the direction of the composer on 9 October 1891. For this performance, Dvorák used a copy of the score which he had personally examined and which later served as the engraver's copy. The Dvorák scholar Klaus Döge succeeded in tracking down its location and evaluating this important source for the first time. It contains the 'Fassung letzter Hand' and, moreover, offers valuable insights into Dvorák's conducting workshop. It served as the principal source for the Breitkopf Urtext edition./ Répertoire / Violon 2 (Partie Séparée)

Allerheiligentag V. Par LINJAMA JYRKI. The material for Jyrki Linjama's Allerheiligentag cycle is a Finnish folk chorale for All Saints' Day (no. 146 in the Finnish Hymn Book). The first work in the cycle is a string trio (2007), the second a piece for orchestra (2009), and the fourth and fifth are solo works for viola da gamba (2018) and Sonata for violin solo (2019). The composer tells: 'The choice of topic and material was originally influenced by the place where the string trio would be premiered ? the old church on the island of Seili (Själö) in the Turku archipelago. The bleak history of the mental hospital on the island invited images of suffering and death. I got so attached to the fine, bleak melody that this series of works began to emerge.' Lasting 17 minutes, the sonata for solo violin has three movements, all of them embracing the folk choral material and Béla Bartók?s influence in different ways. It was premiered by Kaija Saarikettu at the Kaustinen Chamber Music Festival in 2020. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Violon

Cette oeuvre fut écrite pour la violoniste suisse Noëmi Schindler à partir du long solo présent dans Messe un jour ordinaire (1994).Elle en donna la création au Kongresshaus de Zurich en mai 1995 et dans sa version définitive au Festival Présence de Radio-France en février 1996.Fauve signifie tout autant une couleur située entre le jaune et le roux, un animal sauvage, qu'un mouvement de peinture ou l'idée du ' non apprivoisé '.Si tout au long du parcours, les pièces ne font pas référence avec l'une ou l'autre de ces définitions, il y a dans cette musique de toute évidence, une résonance implicite avec chacune d'entre elles.Des six pièces, la troisième et la quatrième reprennent thématiquement les éléments des deux premières. Il est ainsi possible d'enchaîner ces pièces de manière à constituer un cycle plus court : 1 - 2 - 5 6 ou 3 - 4 - 5 - 6. / Violon

Par NONAJ GJOVALIN. Ce recueil contient une sélection de mélodies composées par Gjovalin Nonaj, typiques de la musique folklorique des Balkans, adaptées pour le violon. Cette musique se caractérise par la richesse de ses variations mélodiques, en ce sens, elle se différencie de la plupart des styles de musiques occidentales. Energie, nostalgie, mélodie et sens du rythme... contribuent à former une sonorité complexe, polymorphe. De nombreuses mélodies sont écrites dans des rythmes différents et irréguliers : on trouve beaucoup de mesures à 5/8, 7/8 , 9/8... avec des subdivisions très variées. Le violon s'est imposé devant les autres instruments traditionnels d'Albanie, notamment les instruments à cordes comme le lahuta (1 corde), le çifteli (2 cordes), le sharki (6 cordes). Il en est de même dans les autres pays des Balkans (le sas en Bosnie, le kolo au Monténégro, l'oro en Macédoine et en Bulgarie). Cette musique peut bien sûr être jouée par d'autres instruments. Il ne faut pas oublier que ces musiques sont essentiellement festives. Comme toutes musiques folkloriques, elles participent à la vie des peuples et aux nombreuses fêtes familiales./ Recueil / Violon
