When Ludwig
van Beethoven wrote the
present two works around
1800, the Romance as a
genre designation for a
soulful, melodious
instrumental piece was
anything but established,
despite the occasional
piece bearing this title.
Beethoven himself named
the pieces Romance in the
autographs, but offered
them to Breitkopf &
Hartel for publication as
Solo. His brother Karl
even spoke of 2 Adagios
to the publisher.
Nevertheless, Beethoven's
two Romances for violin
achieved lasting
popularity ever since the
publication of the first
editions in 1803 and
1805.The present Urtext
edition takes the
autographs and first
editions as its main
sources.

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.
