First Edition. Par KORNGOLD ERICH WOLFGANG. Following the success of the first volume, Schott now presents the second volume of songs by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, published for the first time. They date from the early creative period of the 'child prodigy' and already show the extraordinary talent of the young composer. On the basis of the late Romantic musical language, he developed a totally individual sound world full of melodic breadth, refined harmony and sparkling inventiveness. Many of these marvellous songs were composed for certain events; with the operetta-like Die Gansleber im Hause Duschnitz, Korngold managed to write a real 'Viennese delicacy'. With the help of these two songbooks, singers, pianists and music lovers can, for the first time, get to know the musical beginnings of the composer who was later to become one of the most successful composers of film music in Hollywood./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano

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
