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.

The
Havanaise possibly has
its roots in the
friendship of the
composer with the
Cuban-born violinist
Rafael Diaz Albertini. It
is thus perfectly
plausible that
Saint-Saens borrowed the
Cuban syncopated slow
dance Habanera out of
kindness towards his
performance partner when
he was getting ready to
write a work for Diaz
Albertini in 1887.
Saint-Saens originally
wrote a version for
violin and piano, which
was later followed by the
orchestral version that
the publisher Durand had
urged him to write. Diaz
Albertini, to whom the
work was dedicated, gave
its world premiere before
other virtuosos adopted
it for themselves and
spread its fame
throughout the world. The
basis of this first
Urtext edition of the
piece is the first
edition, which was
presumably personally
overseen by
Saint-Saens.

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.
