During a
concert tour through
California in early 1920,
Prokofiev composed five
songs with piano
accompaniment and
textless voice parts,
which appeared in print
as Five Songs without
Words op. 35 and with a
dedication to the soprano
Nina Koshetz. The
quasi-instrumental
conception of the work as
vocalises accompanied by
piano suggested an
arrangement for violin
and piano, which the
composer then indeed
undertook in 1925.
Enriched with octave
transpositions, double
stops, harmonics and
pizzicati, the violin
part of the five pieces
gained an enormous
variety of additional
expressive possibilities.
No wonder the Five
Melodies op. 35a today
number among the Russian
master's most popular
chamber music works!
Henle is publishing them
for the first time as an
Urtext edition based on
all available sources.
Simon Morrison, a true
Prokofiev specialist,
contributed the
preface.
