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.

Born in Oxford
in 1917, Francis Baines
was a well-known and much
respected professional
double bass player. He
studied at the Royal
College of Music in
London with Claude
Hobday, where he later
taught. Something of an
eccentric,he immersed
himself in early music at
a time when few people
were taking it seriously.
He owned a beautiful
Amati bass that he had
restored as a violone,
which it probably was
originally, and he was a
regular fixture as
aprincipal player in a
number of orchestras and
ensembles that dedicated
themselves to period
performing, including
those directed by Denys
Darlow, with whom he
broadcast and recorded
frequently.
Besi
des playing
thedoublebass, Francis
Baines was an exponent of
the treble viol and led
the Jaye Consort of Viols
which he founded. He also
played several kinds of
bagpipe and the
hurdy-gurdy. As a
composer he dabbled in
many styles, one of
hisgreatest claims to
fame being that of
writing for the popular
Hoffnung concerts in the
1960s.
He was
the author of a number of
papers about the history
of the double bass,
sometimes arriving at
scholarly conclusionsthat
were colourful, if not
always entirely accurate.
He discovered the
Giovannino del Violone
sonatas, subsequently
published by Yorke
Edition, although today
it is thought that they
were probably not written
for a 16' pitchinstrument
at all. His edition of
the Capuzzi double bass
concerto, published by
Boosey & Hawkes, was for
many years one of the few
solo works available for
the instrument. This,
however, he largely
re-composed because
hethought it could be
improved: towards the end
of his life he confessed
that with hindsight he
probably should have
treated it
differently.
Gro
unds was written in 1969
as a sort of party piece
and was given to
YorkeEdition in support
of a drive to enlarge the
repertoire for the
instrument in a wide
variety of styles. It was
set on the syllabus of
the Associated Board of
the Royal Schools of
Music for many
years.

Prelude a
l'apres-midi d'un faune,
often referred to as the
first composition of the
modern era, is one of
Debussy's most popular
and frequently performed
orchestral works. The
piece comes down to us in
an array of sources, and
several important ones
are drawn upon for the
first time in
Baerenreiter's new
scholarly-critical
edition. Most of the
currently available
editions are based on the
first edition from 1895
which, however, contains
many engraver errors.
When the corresponding
orchestral parts are also
taken into consideration,
countless discrepancies
are
revealed.
Baerenreiter
's Urtext edition
incorporates readings of
a printed copy of the
score from c. 1908 which
shows corrections and
emendations by the
composer. These important
changes, found in no
other source, include
metronome markings,
different pitches and
additional notes, as well
as added tempo and
articulation markings,
which all subtly enhance
Debussy's finely sculpted
work. There is even a
breath mark added to the
famous solo flute passage
which opens the
work.* Scholarly
critical edition with
many corrections in the
score and orchestral
parts * Clear
presentation of
orchestral parts in an
enlarged format.

Sooner or
later theRomantic
Pieceswill pave their way
through all the salons:
thus the periodical
Dalibor predicted when
theRomantic Piecesop. 75
were first issued by the
publisher Simrock in
1887. Since then they
have become some of
Dvorak's most popular
works for violin and
piano. Now they are being
made available for
violists
also.
Bella and
Semjon Kalinowsky have
arranged the four pieces
on the basis of
theComplete Edition of
the Works of Antonin
Dvorak. The piano part of
the original version
remains, while the violin
part has been adapted for
viola; it has been
transcribed into the alto
clef and includes
fingering and bowing
marks.
With their
entrancing melodies and
poetry, these pieces pose
few technical challenges
and are thus easy to
play.
