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.

Robe
rt Kajanus (1856-1933)
was a highly influential
Finnish conductor and
composer. He studied in
Helsinki and Germany,
established the Helsinki
Orchestra Society (later
Helsinki Philharmonic)
and its orchestra school,
and was the orchestra's
chief conductor for over
50 years. Kajanus is
often regarded only as a
conductor, but he was
indeed a skilled composer
whose music is largely
unknown. This Urtext
volume, edited by
Sebastian Silen, contains
all of Kajanus's works
for violin -- his own
instrument. Contents:
Nocturne, Menuet ancien,
Spiccato, Ronde courante,
Air elegiaque, Berceuse
(Huutolaistyton
kehtolaulu).

The
Pytheas Center for
Contemporary Music notes:
Talma was the first woman
to receive two
Guggenheims, the first
woman elected to the
National Institute of
Arts and Letters (1974),
the first American woman
to have a full-scale
opera performed in
Germany, the first
American to teach at
Fontainebleau, and the
first woman to receive
the Sibelius Medal for
composition. This is only
the highlights of a long
life of composing. Talma
spent a good amount of
time at the MacDowell
Colony, where she wrote
many of her finest works,
including the Violin
Sonata. Having studied
composition with Nadia
Boulanger over 17 summers
in her youth, Talma
dedicated the Sonata to
her former teacher and
long-time friend on the
occasion of Boulanger's
75th birthday. The single
movement reflects Talma's
style in 1962, with more
than a passing nod to
12-tone construction. For
advanced performers.
