Mendelssohn'
s Violin Concerto op. 64,
is a key work of the 19th
century, adhering to the
classical style of
Beethoven while pointing
the way to the romantic
ethos of Brahms. It has
long been known that
Mendelssohn performed the
work with three soloists
in succession: Ferdinand
David, who worked closely
with the composer during
its composition and
played it at the
premiere; the 'child
prodigy' Joseph Joachim;
and Hubert Leonard, a
young Belgian virtuoso
about whom little is
known.
As proof
sheets for the Violin
Concerto in E minor were
long considered lost, it
could be described as
somewhat of a sensation
when proofs for the solo
violin part resurfaced
together with a letter
from Mendelssohn to
Leonard.
The
letter informs us that
the composer invited
Leonard to his home in
Frankfurt in order to
make his acquaintance. It
was already known that
Mendelssohn had given
proof sheets to David;
now we know that he also
gave some to
Leonard.
The
recently discovered
proofs reveal how Leonard
played the concerto with
Mendelssohn on that
memorable evening in
February 1845. Besides
containing bowing marks
and fingering, they also
show how Leonard executed
shifts of position and
where he employed open
strings. Furthermore
modifications made to
dynamic markings and
additional legato bowing
are shown.
It is
safe to assume that all
of this was done with
Mendelssohn's approval.
That the young violinist
made a positive
impression on the
composer is confirmed in
the latter's
correspondence following
their joint performance.
Mendelssohn is full of
praise for Leonard's
playing and offers to
lend his support in
finding employment in
Germany.
This
revised edition of the
Mendelssohn Violin
Concerto (only the
orchestral parts remain
unchanged) includes a
separate booklet on
performance practice.
The editor, Clive
Brown, is an acknowledged
expert on Romantic
performance
practice.

McCabe's
Pueblo
for solo Double
Bass. Duration: approx. 7
minutes.
Pueblo
is an off-shoot of a
series of compositions
inspired by desert
country, and it was
commissioned by Leon
Bosch with the aid of
funds provided by North
West Arts. The piece is
continous, falling into
several sections, and is
largeley based on the
high circling motif heard
at the start and referred
to again in the harmonics
at the close.
It is
prefaced by the following
quotation from Scenes in
American Deserta by
Reyner Banham, published
by Thames and
Hudson:
'Clouds, high and
flat, were now building
up in thesky, the wind
was settling to silent
calm, the weather was
very cold, and the stream
through the center of the
pueblo was almost frozen
across, the Indians
chipping out ice to melt
down for water.'
The aim in writing
the piece was to express
in musical terms a
response to the vivid
picture of a scene
relating to life in the
American desert conveyed
by Reyner Banham's text.
Although not numbered
among other Desert works,
this belongs to this
family of compositions,
along with another Banham
setting, written for the
King's Singers, Scenes In
America Deserta. -

ISBN
9790006541652. 32.5 x
25.5 cm inches. Preface:
Marco Uvietta.
For
this scholarly-critical
edition, the editor has
consulted no less than 16
sources, many more than
were ever used for any
other edition of the
Requiem; some of these
sources were never
evaluated before and one
source, a hand-written
vocal score, particularly
relevant to the
evaluation of the Liber
scriptus, was newly
discovered.
As
such, this edition offers
new philological and
editorial decisions
regarding phrasing,
articulation and dynamics
and succeeds in
presenting practical
suggestions to solve
musical problems and
those concerning the
interpretation of this
famous work.
This
edition comprises a
concise Critical
Commentary in the score
as well as a detailed one
on the Barenreiter
website. The most
important editions
published in the 19th
century are compared with
regard to musicological
questions in the work.
The genesis of some
misunderstandings
included in the 1913 and
1964 Ricordi editions is
traced. The first version
of the Liber scriptus for
chorus is included in the
appendix while the later
version for mezzosoprano
solo is to be found in
the main part of the
edition.
