Beethoven: Violin Concerto D Major Op61 Study Score/cd

SKU: BT.EMBZ40060

Though some themes of the D major Violin Concerto appear fragmentarily among Beethoven's earlier drafts, the score received its final shape - according to the autograph manuscript - in 1806 only. The first performance took place on December 23 of the same year in Vienna, the violon solo was played by Franz Clement. The concerto met with a rather cold reception: this critic of the Wiener Theaterzeitung admitted 'some beauty' in it but for the rest he found that '...the coherence often seems totally broken and the endless repetitions of some commonplace sections can easily become tedious.' The performance may have not been totally satisfying, it is certainly surprising that the setof parts published in 1808 is dedicated to Stephan von Breuning instead of Clement. It is not impossible that Beethoven lost faith in the value and future of his work, too, - his later attempt to change it into a piano concerto can be interpreted in this way.

Beethoven would probably have loved to be able to commission a new edition of his violin concerto from Clive Brown, since he is one of the top specialists, with a profound knowledge and experience of performance practice in Beethoven's day.

ISBN 9790004212608. 6.5 x 9 inches.

What with all the traditional editions available on the market, can we still expect new readings? This is what editor Clive Brown asked himself as he meticulously examined the often conflicting sources. The result is a wealth of new readings in the score, which deserve as much attention as the extensively commented arrangement for violin and piano. The treatment of the solo instrument is particularly interesting: next to the Urtext solo part, the edition also contains a historically informed and marked-up part with fingerings and bowings that go back to Franz Clement, the soloist of the premiere performance, and to the Viennese performance tradition of Beethovens time. For violinists of today, this is a treasure trove of new, innovative ideas and suggestions for the individual shaping of the part.
