The endlessly energetic duo of Oriol Saña and Lluís Gómez have created a charming and informative account of the musical phenomenon we call bluegrass. Originally a quirky supercharged folk music played by about ten people, bluegrass music, with its Mozart-like formality and ferocious rhythmic zest, now describes an extended international family of related string band styles. Master fiddler Oriol and bluegrass banjoist Lluís, both acclaimed educators, present both the wide view and crucial details about this music in a clear, personable manner. Bravo! Includes access to online audio. El dúo formado por Oriol Saña y Lluís Gómez, siempre tan activos, se ha puesto manos a la obra una vez más para producir esta brillante obra, amena a la vez que informativa, sobre el fenómeno musical que llamamos bluegrass. En sus inicios, era un estilo folk muy rebuscado y minoritario, pero esa formalidad digna de Mozart y ese ritmo frenético tan característico han conseguido que actualmente abarque una gran familia de estilos musicales en distintos países. El maestro violinista Oriol y el banjista de bluegrass Lluís, ambos reconocidos profesores, presentan una visión amplia y a la vez detallada sobre esta música, aportando tanto claridad como su punto de vista personal. ¡Bravo! Incluye acceso a audio en línea. / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / Violon

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. 'Cette transcription a été faite d’après le manuscrit original « Sei Solo a violino Senza Basso accompagnato », plus communément connues comme les sonates et partitas pour violon seul, ma source étant la version copiée par Anna Magdalena Bach. Les nuances et articulations proposées sont fidèles au manuscrit, autant que possible. Je n’en ai ajouté aucune, afin de donner toute la liberté nécessaire à l’interprétation de cette musique si riche. Les articulations du manuscrit guident les violonistes dans le choix des coups d’archet, à vous de vous en inspirer ou de les modifier à votre guise. Les double-cordes, de même que les accords (joués ‘en arpèges’ par les violonistes), sont reproduites avec des notes en appoggiature ou en arpèges. Volontairement, je n’ai pas retranscrit toutes les notes de manière systématique, pour ne pas surcharger le jeu. Par exemple, vous pourrez explorer comment faire ressortir la seconde voix en dosant les appoggiatures dans le phrasé. Je suis conscient que, pour la plupart des clarinettistes, le fait de jouer sur une partition exempte d’indication de tempi, nuances, articulations, respirations, est quelque peu déroutant. C’est justement, selon moi, toute la richesse de cette version proche de l’original. Vous pourrez explorer cette oeuvre fabuleuse, affiner votre technique de jeu (certains passages sont particulièrement difficiles) et développer votre propre interprétation. Je vous encourage à écouter des violonistes virtuoses interpréter ces fantastiques pièces, vous trouverez l’inspiration et quantité d’idées. J’espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir que moi à les jouer !' Frédéric Matagne/ Répertoire / Clarinette Bb et A

Critical Edition Violin Solo Part. Par KORNGOLD ERICH WOLFGANG. This new edition of the violin solo part to the Korngold Violin Concerto in D Major is the first-ever to include Jascha Heifetz's performance notations, edited by Endre Granat, one of his star proteges. Born in Austria, Korngold was forced into US exile by the annexation of Austria by the Nazis. He vowed to give up composing anything other than film music until Hitler was defeated. With the end of World War II, he retired from films to concentrate on music for the concert hall. The violin concerto was the first such work that Korngold wrote following some initial persuasion from violinist and fellow émigré Bronislaw Huberman. Korngold was hurt by the assumption that he had sold his integrity to Hollywood. He was thus determined to prove himself with a work that combined vitality and superb craftsmanship. Korngold composed his Violin Concerto in D major, Op.35, in 1945, dedicating it to Alma Mahler, the widow of his childhood mentor, Gustav Mahler. The work was premiered on February, 15 1947 by Jascha Heifetz and the St. Louis Symphony under conductor Vladimir Golschmann. It received the most enthusiastic ovation in St. Louis concert history at the time. On March 30, 1947, Heifetz played the concerto in Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Efrem Kurtz: the broadcast performance was recorded on transcription discs. Heifetz's performance launched the work into the standard repertoire, and it quickly became Korngold's most popular piece. Concerning Heifetz's performance of the work, the composer wrote, In spite of the demand for virtuosity in the finale, the work with its many melodic and lyric episodes was contemplated more for a Caruso than for a Paganini. It is needless to say how delighted I am to have my concerto performed by Caruso and Paganini in one person: Jascha Heifetz./ Répertoire / Violon

Extraites De L'Organiste, Transcription Pour Piano & Violoncelle Ou Violon. Par FRANCK CESAR. Arrangeur: LEVY André/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE. Claude Debussy had difficulties finishing his last major work, the Sonata for Violin and Piano. This can be seen in the many drafts which have been handed down and the fact that the cycle for which it was conceived was left unfinished. The work originated under the impact of Debussy' s progressing illness as well as the First World War. The first edition, published during the final year of Debussy' s life, contains many rhythmic errors. The non-autograph metronome marks as well as the discrepancies between the separate violin part and the violin part in small print in the piano score are two problems that have affected the work' s later reception. Both are examined here in a fresh light. In addition to the Sonata, this edition contains arrangements of „La fille aux cheveux de lin' and „Il pleure dans mon coeur' by the American violinist Arthur Hartmann. It was Hartmann who inspired Debussy to make an arrangement of his well-known piano piece „Minstrels' , also included in our edition. - Debussy' s complete works for violin and piano - With arrangements by Debussy' s acquaintance Hartmann - Informative Foreword (Eng/Fr/Ger) - Critical Commentary (Eng)/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Born in Erfurt, the composer Edward Mollenhauer (1827-1914) achieved success in America as a soloist and teacher. His best-known pieces for young violinists are 'The Infant Paganini? and 'The Boy Paganini?.Both appear here in their original version for violin and piano and, for the first time, in a transcription for cello and piano by Christoph Sassmannshaus.The Mollenhauer fantasia 'The Infant Paganini? is a charming introduction to early virtuoso techniques. It calls for bowing techniques such as detaché, legato, spiccato and arpeggios over three strings. Players are also expected to play harmonics and pizzicato.This showpiece (BA 10691) can be accomplished by young violinists who can play in first to third position and who are nearing completion of the Sassmannshaus Early Start on the Violin, volume 4.It (BA 10693) can be equally mastered by young cello students who are working with volume 4 of the Sassmannshaus 'Early Start on the Cello? and can manage first to fourth position.'The Boy Paganini? is an impressive concert piece which is more demanding. Its two movements call for changes of metre, harmonics and pizzicato. Other challenges include chords on all four strings and simple passages in octaves.On the violin (BA 10692), the technical requirements call for first to fifth position whereas on the cello (BA 10694), the student must be able to play in first to fourth position.Both violinists and cellists should have completed volume 4 of 'Early Start on the Violin? and 'Early Start on the Cello? respectively in order to master this work. - Popular recital pieces for young violinists and cellists- Both works form an ideal continuation of the Sassmannshaus 'Early Start? methods- Pieces originally scored for violin now also available for the first time for cello / Violon Et Piano
