Fantasy on Irish [Scottish] Themes (1852)-Joseph Joachim (1831-1907) was one of the most significant violinists of the 19th century. Born in Hungary he was also a conductor composer teacher and a close friend and collaborator of Johannes Brahms.Joseph Joachim?s ?Fantasies on Hungarian and Irish [Scottish] Themes? was his first virtuoso music for the violin with orchestral accompaniment. Joachim was intent on creating popular works not least at the urging of his family but they also bore witness to his urbanity: the young Jewish-Hungarian musician spent many summers in England and its familiar Irish melodies held great appeal for English audiences.Performances of the ?Fantasy on HungarianThemes? in German cities met his need for self-display as the ?Hungarian lad? to use Mendelssohn?s jocular epithet. Joachim was well aware that the style hongrois was all the rage in European capitals.First editionInformative foreword (Ger/Eng)

Heralds of Spring. Par RAFF JOSEPH JOACHIM. Joachim Raff?s 12 piano pieces Frühlingsboten op. 55, originating in 1852/53, mark a new creative start in his compositional oeuvre, in which the composer left behind his previously written and published piano works. The title of the work, translated as ?Heralds of Spring,? is multilayered: It refers not only to spring in nature as expressed in the headings of the first two pieces, ? Winterruhe [Hibernation]? and ? Frühlingsnahen [Spring?s Approach],? but the words ?Heralds of Spring? also indicate love?s spring, the blossoming of love for his future wife, the actress Doris Genast. This appears in the headings of the pieces as of no. 3, sketching the path of an imaginary couple approaching union via various annoyances. And ultimately, Raff saw in his new piano work the ?harbingers? of his future works, created under ?happy circumstances.? In Frühlingsboten Raff repeatedly demonstrates his ability to adapt idioms and compositional techniques from works by Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and others. The pieces do nonetheless possess their own thoroughly original diction with a character spectrum just as diverse as their stylistic piano design. / Date parution : 2022-11-16/ Recueil / Piano
