Violin Sonata was commissioned by the Carnegie Hall in New York as part of its centennial celebrations in 1991 and first performed on 3rd February of that year by Michelle Makarski and Brent McMunn. It is arelatively diffident three movement work exploring heavy tortuous sentiments without becoming overpowering. The Piano part sets up a series of repeating ostinati with some interesting jazz influences and chord progressions which the Violin part cleverly plays against. Anthony Davis (b. 1951) is an American composer and pianist. His recordings and compositions cover both jazz and modern classical styles but he is best known for hismodern political operas such as X based on the life of Malcolm X.

Par VANHAL JOHANN BAPTIST. The unbroken popularity of Vanhal's sole double bass concerto in competitions and for practice and concert purposes is reason enough for us to publish the work in Breitkopf Urtext. The new edition profits from Tobias Glöckler's experience of many years. As with the other great double-bass concertos of the classical Viennese repertoire (Dittersdorf, Hoffmeister), Glöckler arrives at convincing solutions. He began by filtering out a solid musical text from the source (which was not always free of contradictions) that was supplied with many additions. The disposition of the solo part required detailed knowledge of performance practice, since the work was written in the historical Viennese double bass tuning, and a few passages cannot be played without difficulty on a modern instrument. As with Dittersdorf and Hoffmeister, the piano reduction makes it possible to use three different double-bass tunings (solo, orchestral and Viennese). Moreover, it contains the editor's virtuoso cadenzas as well./ Répertoire / Violon 2 (Partie Séparée)
