Par QUERLEUX ALAIN. Ce « petit Concerto de chambre » comprend trois mouvements, pour une durée globale de 18 minutes environ. L?essence de son propos est le dialogue concertant et chantant entre un violon soliste et un orchestre à cordes (pouvant se réduire à un simple quatuor à cordes ). Le premier mouvement est sous-titré « ..Par un chemin d?échos divers.. » : il évoque une promenade et ses sons, rumeurs, chants et bruits ? naissant, s?amplifiant, s?éloignant ou renaissant en échos. Plusieurs tempi modérés s?enchaînent au gré des tonalités de ré mineur, ré majeur, sol mineur et sol majeur. Les interprètes devront varier les climats, nuances et couleurs. Le mouvement central, très lent et expressif, est de facture plus classique : l?orchestre expose le thème principal, bientôt repris et varié par la cantilène du violon solo, dans le ton de la mineur.Le passage central module en la majeur, un grand crescendo s?en suit, jusqu?au retour du premier thème ? soliste et orchestre réunis. Le Finale apporte joie et détente, dans un tempo vif et spirituel.C?est une forme Rondo, avec un refrain apparaissant à cinq reprises, et quatre couplets énoncés par le violon solo. Quelques traits virtuoses participent de la fête, le ton de La hésitant entre mineur et majeur. La partie de soliste conviendra aux violonistes à partir de la fin du 2ème cycle des conservatoires. Les parties d?orchestre sont abordables à partir du second cycle./ Répertoire / Violon Concertant et Orchestre

Personne ne connaît la musique du monde entier mieux que Monsieur Saint-Saëns ', Claude Debussy a loué son compositeur compagnon, et il y a seulement quelques qui ont quitté telle une oeuvre complète couvrant tous les genres comme il l'a fait. Le musicien français ont contribué particulièrement pour le répertoire du violon, également grâce à son amitié avec le virtuose espagnol Pablo de Sarasate, qui donna à Saint-Saëns nombre un morceau de conseils sur ce qui est techniquement possible sur l'instrument - c'est lui à qui il a dédié son violon Concerto #3 et l'Introduction et Rondo capriccioso, Opus 28. Connaissance du compositeur avec le violoniste était certainement aussi la raison de son penchant pour l'atmosphère espagnol et couleur. Le folklore du pays voisin est apparent dans le Rondo, un morceau de bravoure efficace. Le score et le matériau orchestral de cette surbrillance du répertoire romantique violon est maintenant disponible dans une nouvelle édition, en plus de l'édition de Maria Egelhof pour violon et piano (VLB 119). / Violon Et Orchestre

Description Two of Saint-Saens most popular works appear together in this affordable volume. First composed in a song form Danse Macabre was later rewritten as a symphonic poem. It is important to remember that risque music was considered more daring and controversial than today and audiences at its 1875 debut were resistant to its unconventional charms, but it eventually became a crowd pleaser. Havanaise is among the most challenging of violin and orchestra pieces, but a standard showpiece in the repertoire of every serious violinist. Based on the Cuban dance, Habanera, the 1887 work features a languid mood, highlighted by bursts of virtuoso activity. This volume contains the full score for violin and orchestra of both these magnificent pieces.

In diesem spanischen Tanz kubanischer Herkunft lässt Saint-Saëns die Violine in einschmeichelnden Melodien schwelgen, gibt den Interpreten aber auch reichlich Gelegenheit zu technisch virtuosem Feuerwerk - ein effektvolles Bravourstück. / Violon Et Orchestre

Early Version Of 1844 And Late Version Of 1845. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Replaces BA 9050- The orchestral parts are unchanged and continue to be available as BA 9050-65/-74/-75/-79/-82/-85 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 première- the 'child prodigy' Joseph Joachim- and Hubert Léonard, 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 Léonard. The letter informs us that the composer invited Léonard 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 Léonard. The recently discovered proofs reveal how Léonard played the concerto with Mendelssohn on that memorable evening in February 1845. Besides containing bowing marks and fingering, they also show how Léonard 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 Léonard' 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. - New source situation owing to recently rediscovered proofs - Revised Urtext edition - With a separate booklet on performance practice (Eng/Ger)/ Répertoire / Violon et Orchestre

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven's 'Romances' are performed all over the world, yet how many conductors, performers and listeners are aware that op. 50 which was incidentally composed before op. 40, comes down to us in an unfinished form' The autograph score contains little to no articulation or dynamics and to the present day the work has existed only in highly over-edited publications. The performer has no way of knowing what was originally intended by the composer. Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition of opp. 50 and 40 offers the score to op. 50 twice- the first score reflects the state of Beethoven's autograph with editorial markings clearly indicated, the second score has been edited based on other works by Beethoven from that period. This manner of publishing remains true to the sources and at the same time offers musicians a reliable transparent score for performances. In addition to the Urtext solo part, a second solo part with fingering and bowing by Detlef Mahn is also included in the piano reduction. - Piano reduction which includes an Urtext solo part as well as an additional solo part with fingering and bowing - The score to op. 50 available in two versions - Detailed critical commentary (Eng)/ Répertoire / Violon et Orchestre

for Violin and Orchestra. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Mozart composed the majority of his works for solo string instruments and orchestra during the years 1773 to 1779. Especially important in this context are the years 1773 and 1775, which witnessed the creation of the five concertos for violin and orchestra as well as several single movements for the same scoring. The reasons for this flourish of activity in this domain lie partly in the fact that Mozart, who still occupied the post of concertmaster to the Prince-Archbishop, was either obliged or inspired to provide such works for special occasions during this long period spent in Salzburg. But another reason was certainly the possibility of experimenting withall the new compositional techniques acquired during his third trip to Italy and his stay of several months in Vienna from July to September 1773. The piano reduction of Mozart’s D major violin concerto is easier to play, uncluttered and practical with page turns where you need them and where necessary fold-out pages. The solo part gives players the critical Urtext of the New Mozart Edition. A prepared performance part is also included with bowings, fingerings and performance practice comments. An additional brochure is included with todays most performed cadenzas, 'Eingänge' and fermata embellishments. This collection offers players a spectrum of styles available in no other publication.
