Henri
Vieuxtemps was a
remarkably productive
composer who wrote seven
violin concertos, concert
etudes, two viola sonatas
and a dozen or so chamber
works, yet the bulk of
his output consists of
works for violin and
piano. Vieuxtemps's
favorite musical form was
the then-fashionable
fantasy on themes from
well-known operas, of
which he left us quite a
number. The Romance
originally composed for
violin and piano is based
on a theme from Stanislaw
Moniuszko's national
opera Halka (Jontek's
famous aria 'Szumia jodly
na gór szcycie'
[The firs sough on the
mountain top.]). The
present edition is based
on Zdzislaw Jahnke's 1952
edition. This work gives
the player the
opportunity to display a
beautiful tone and
proficiency in both the
left and right hand; it
is also a marvelous
exercise in rubato
playing.
