If Davies's
Cello Concerto has
already evoked
comparisons with Elgar's,
that is perhaps an
indication not only of
its wealth of solo melody
(there is hardly a page
where the cello is not
singing, or if not that,
then dancing), and of its
predominantly slow
tempos, but also of its
musical stature. This
second Strathclyde
concerto is a virtuoso
piece for the entire
ensemble, which is used
almost throughout as a
clutch of soloists rather
than as a tutti block.
The general tone is one
of passionate but
interior dialogue,
especially in the opening
Moderato and the slow
movement; and though the
finale is more extrovert,
the work ends back in
quietness and
rumination.

A
work for solo violin and
orchestra, commissioned
by Donald McDonald for
the 21st birthday of the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra and the 60th
birthday of the composer.
It was first performed in
November 1993 in Glasgow,
by James Clark and the
Scottish Chamber
Orchestra conducted by
Maxwell Davies. The spell
is one quoted by George
Mackay Brown in his book
An Orkney Tapestry: 'Let
not plough be put to acre
except a fiddle cross
first the furrow.'
Davies's dancing concerto
imagines the fiddler
following a route from
field to field, from
dance to dance,
accompanied by a bunch of
companions in the form of
an orchestra. As the
music goes on, so it gets
brighter and livelier,
moving from the dark
colouring of clarinets,
bassoons and strings to
full ensemble with
prominent brass and
(solo) tuned percussion,
as if the dancers as much
as the fields were
beginning to glow with
new life. Score
(miniature). Duration c.
20mins.

This work
was commissioned by the
Royal Philharmonic
Orchestra to celebrate
its 40th birthday. The
first performance took
place in June 1986 at St.
Magnus' Cathedral,
Kirkwall, as part of the
tenth St. Magnus
Festival. Written for and
first performed by Isaac
Stern, Davies's Violin
Concerto brings together
two streams in his music:
symphonism and
folk-fiddling. In its
strongly developed
substance, it asks to be
measured in the company
of Beethoven, Brahms and
Sibelius, while there is
also, particularly in the
middle movement, a strong
element of the Scots
lament. The orchestra is
generally muted in
colour, though there is a
dramatic role for the
timpanist. There are
three movements, played
without a break - this is
only one of many
connections with the
Mendelssohn Violin
Concerto. Duration c.

When
an editorial formula
proves to be as
compelling as in the case
of the E-major Concerto
BWV 1042, then its
obvious that it is going
to be applied again: this
time to Klaus Hofmanns
new Urtext edition of the
A-minor Concerto. Bachs
manuscript leaves several
questions unanswered. The
slurring, particularly in
the solo part, is once
again equivocal and
inconsistent. Bach
himself expected his
performers to be
creative, which is why
the interpretative
suggestions of Baroque
expert Sigiswald Kuijken
are particularly welcome.
The edition for violin
and keyboard instrument
(with continuo ad lib.)
once again contains three
violin parts (the first
unmarked, the second with
markings and comments by
Sigiswald Kuijken, the
third as a facsimile).
This provides
well-grounded stimuli for
ones own personal
interpretation based on
historically informed
performance practice. The
keyboard arrangement by
Siegfried Petrenz is
transparent and easy to
play. A violoncello part
has been added for
chamber-music.

h's manuscript leaves

What with
all the traditional
editions available on the
market, can we still
expect new readings? This
is what editor Clive
Brown asked himself as he
meticulously examined the
often conflicting
sources. The result is a
wealth of new readings in
the score, which deserve
as much attention as the
extensively commented
arrangement for violin
and piano. The treatment
of the solo instrument is
particularly interesting:
next to the Urtext solo
part, the edition also
contains a historically
informed and marked-up
part with fingerings and
bowings that go back to
Franz Clement, the
soloist of the premiere
performance, and to the
Viennese performance
tradition of Beethovens
time. For violinists of
today, this is a treasure
trove of new, innovative
ideas and suggestions for
the individual shaping of
the part.

were first written as

They thus rank among the

The A minor Concerto,
composed in 1750, is
performed quite
frequently today. C. P.
E. Bach most likely wrote
the Concerto in B flat
major Wq. 171 as the last
of the little work group
in 1753 in Potsdam, at
the court of King
Frederick the Great. He
reworked the composition
for flute and harpsichord
shortly thereafter.
Various sources prove
that copies of the work
had made it known quite
extensively in the second
half of the 18th century.
In his new Urtext
edition, Ulrich Leisinger
bases himself on two
reliable manuscripts.

Auli
s Sallinen (b. 1935) is
one of the most famous
Finnish contemporary
composers. In his early
instrumental works,
Sallinen was still
seeking to establish a
style of his own. He had
studied at the Sibelius
Academy in the late
1950s, first with Aarre
Merikanto - a composer
representing a national
brand of Neoclassicism -
and then with Joonas
Kokkonen, at that time
just transitioning from
Neoclassicism to
dodecaphony. Twelve-tone
music had won fairly
widespread acceptance in
contemporary Finn-ish
music, and Sallinen was
influenced, too. The
Variations are Sallinen's
first real work for the
cello - an instrument
that would later be one
of his favourites, its
warm, deep voice
corres-ponding to his
music's often dark
undercurrent.
The Variations for Cello
and Orchestra, Op. 5 were
composed in 1961-1962 and
premiered in October
1962. The basic motif
consists of a set of
three descending
intervals stated by the
cello at the beginning:
D-D flat-F, C-B-G and B
flat-A-F sharp. Their use
as basic material is a
ref-lection of the
composer's
dodecaphony-oriented
period, and variation of
this material provides
the framework for the
piece.
Variations for Cello and
Orchestra are now
published for the first
time. Available are a
reduction for cello and
piano, study score and
complete performance
material with
orchestra.

Many
well-known violinists
such as the dedicatee
Pablo de Sarasate,
together later with
Eugene Ysaye and Jacques
Thibaud, included in
their repertoires Camille
Saint-Saens' concert
piece composed in 1863.
Even today, concert life
is hard to imagine
without the Introduction
et Rondo capriccioso. The
highly virtuosic work
already inspired critics
and audiences during the
composer's lifetime;
reported about the
premiere in 1867 was: The
Introduction and the
Rondo capriccioso for the
same instrument are both
original and charming,
and Maestro Sarasate, who
was in his element here,
admirably made the most
of it. And a few years
later, a music critic
described the work as a
kind of fantasy waltz in
the Spanish style and
with a most bewitching
effect. After the first
performances in 1867,
despite success, the
work's score and
orchestral parts had
little chance of
publication due to
concert companies'
reluctance. In 1869 the
Paris publishing house G.
Hartmann merely published
an arrangement for violin
and piano produced by the
composer's friend Georges
Bizet. The orchestral
score and parts were
first published after the
Paris publishing house
Durand had acquired
publication rights in
1875. The present edition
published in
collaboration with the G.
Henle Verlag is the first
critical edition of the
work.

The concerto
was inspired by István
Várdai's play and is
dedicated to him. The
triple movement structure
and the character of the
movements follow the
patterns of classical
concertos, while the
thematic connections
spanning the movements
rather reflect the
structural principles of
Romantic symphonies. In
the first movement, which
resembles the form of a
sonata, the characters of
the themes are
spectacularly separated.
The motif of the main
theme, constructed with
glissandos, is
supplemented by a theme
the composer refers to as
a motif of fate, and the
two together form a
significant contrast with
the minor theme with its
lyrical tone and the
playful, ending
themeresembling a
children's song. The
contrasts between depth
and height, as well as
darkness and light, have
a significant role in all
three movements. The
music of the first
movement gradually rises
to increasingly bright
and higher regions, the
gloomy atmosphere of the
marginal parts in the
second movement is offset
by the tune's
transcendental light in
its central part, while
the rondo theme of the
third movement with its
6/8 metre dance-like
character is supplemented
with motifs of a
contrasting nature from
the earlier
movements.

Johannes
Brahms's only violin
concerto, one of the most
important violin
concertos of the 19th
century, is now a central
repertoire piece. This
fact is all the more
notable, as, by his own
account, Brahms
understood all too little
about the instrument. The
concerto was composed at
Worthersee during the
summer of 1878 in
collaboration with Joseph
Joachim, a leading
contemporary violinist.
The solo part is
extremely demanding, with
really unusual
difficulties. This
circumstance did not go
unnoticed by the critics
of the first performance:
Even to Joachim, the
battled-seasoned
wrestler, the technically
difficult and tricky solo
part was to be mastered
only with obvious effort.
Evidencing this close
collaboration between
composer and performer is
not only the work's
genesis and publication
history, together with
its dedication to
Joachim, but also its
solo cadenza. Based on
the New Brahms Complete
Edition, this Urtext
edition includes both the
printed version of
Joachim's cadenza as well
as its shorter version
arranged in 1885 by the
violinist Marie
Soldat.
