In E-flat major Op.102. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. The second half of the 19th century represented something of a ?Golden Age? of the violin sonata in France: influential violin sonatas such as those by Franck, Fauré and Saint-Saëns were among the successful works of this genre, inspiring many further compositions. Saint-Saëns? Violin Sonata No.2 was written in 1896 during a stay of several months by the composer in Egypt: he began the main themes of all four movements as well as the canonic trio in Luxor and Aswan. The sonata was then completed on the Nile journey back to Cairo. That same year the sonata was premiered by Saint-Saëns and Pablo Sarasate in a concert celebrating the composer?s fiftieth stage anniversary. Astoundingly, he had first appeared on stage when he was only ten years old. This performing edition edited by Fabien Guilloux and François de Médicis is based on ?Saint-Saëns ? ?uvres instrumentales complètes?, volume III/4. It reflects the most up-to-date state of research on this work which the edition presents in a spacious engraving. - With a detailed Foreword (Fr/Eng/Ger) on the genesis and performance history - Performing edition based on the Urtext of the ?Saint-Saëns ? ?uvres instrumentales complètes? - Optimum layout in the violin part and piano score / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Ravel, Maurice
Sonata / Berceuse sur le nom de Fauré for Violin and Piano
- New scholarly-critical edition of Ravel?s famous sonata
- First scholarly-critical edition of the ?Berceuse sur le nom de Fauré?
- Foreword on the historical context and performance practice issues (Eng/Ger) as well as a Critical Commentary (Eng)
Ravel worked on his Sonata for Violin and Piano for four years (1923?1927) which was longer than he took for any other composition. According to the composer, the reason for his difficulties was the ?fundamental incompatibility? of these two instruments. However, the interplay between two quite different partners is precisely what makes this sonata so charming. The violin and piano are independent, sometimes playing alongside each other and at other times with each other: here in a lyrical Allegretto, there in a jazz-inspired second movement, finally in a ?perpetuum mobile? finale.
This new edition edited by Douglas Woodfull-Harris corrects numerous inconsistencies of earlier editions. It also includes the ?Berceuse sur le nom de Fauré? which is available for the first time in a scholarly-critical Urtext edition. This lullaby for violin and piano consists of variations on a theme derived from the letters of Fauré?s name. / Partitions classique / Cordes / Violon / BARENREITER

für Violine und Klavier. The Romances op. 22 are today among Clara Schumann?s most popular chamber music works. For violinists and pianists, they?re also of particular importance due to the wealth of information by Schumann, Joseph Joachim, and Wilhelm Joseph von Wasielewski on fingering, bowing, and phrasing in these three pieces. While working on the composition and publication of the Romances op. 22, Schumann was in close contact with these two great violinists of the nineteenth century. She consulted Wasielewski while completing an early version of Romance no. 1, while Joachim was involved in a later, complete version and the preparation of the first edition. Jacqueline Ross? scholarly-critical edition is the first to include, in addition to the first edition, the numerous manuscript sources that survive today, such as: Schumann?s draft manuscript, presentation autographs for Wasielewski and Joachim, as well as copyists? parts once owned by the two violinists. This edition has two separate parts for the violin, allowing its use in two ways: first, as a straightforward Urtext edition: and second, as an edition informed by historical performing practice, supported by the detailed Performing Practice Commentary on nineteenth-century violin and piano technique.

Transcription for Violin and Piano by the Composer. In his symphonic poem ?Danse macabre? Saint-Saëns takes up a poem by Henri Cazalis that he had already set as an art song. Here the Devil brings the dead to life by playing his violin. Although the orchestral work was given a lukewarm reception in its early performances, or was even rejected, it became highly popular and internationally famous in the years that followed. Of the countless later arrangements and variations (e.g. by Franz Liszt), Saint-Saëns? own version for violin and piano stands out as particularly successful. Céline Drèze?s advance edition for a future volume of the ?Saint-Saëns Complete Edition of the Instrumental Works? is the first modern scholarly edition of this celebrated piece. This Urtext edition draws on the original print of the 1877 version, while eliminating its many misprints and anomalies on the basis of the autograph.

An autograph fragment of the Violin Sonata op. 47 is titled, in Beethoven?s hand, ?Sonata mulattica composta per il mulatto Brischdauer, gran pazzo e compositore mulattico? ? meaning ?Mulatto Sonata composed for the mulatto Brischdauer, great madman and mulatto composer?. The genesis of the sonata, which was to become famous under the name ?Kreutzer Sonata?, is closely connected to a visit to Vienna by George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower (1778?1860), a violinist with an Afro-Caribbean father and a European mother. In the language of that time, his descent made him a mulatto. Beethoven was apparently deeply impressed by Bridgetower's musicality and virtuosic abilities. However, when the sonata was published in 1805, he dedicated it to Rodolphe Kreutzer under the title ?Sonata per il Pianoforte ed uno violino obligato in uno stile molto concertante come d?un concerto?. The work ?in the style of a concerto? is probably Beethoven?s most demanding violin sonata and since the 19th century has formed part of the core repertoire of the great violin virtuosos.

Beethoven?s ten sonatas for piano and violin, along with those by Mozart, constitute the heart of this classical music genre. Following the lead of Mozart?s late sonatas, Beethoven lets the violin part become increasingly independent from the piano part. Not only does Clive Brown?s scholarly critical edition offer a meticulously edited text but for the first time it presents a list of sources and a Critical Report. Furthermore Brown documents a great number of passages where, by today?s standards, the notation raises some questions. These passages had previously been overlooked in the autograph but their significance is now clarified. One example can be found in Beethoven?s ?Tempo di Minuetto? from Sonata op. 30 No. 3, where he uses a notational idiosyncracy based on C.P.E. Bach?s ?Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen? to denote a rest. This musical symbol, which was included in the first edition published during Beethoven?s lifetime, has not been addressed in any modern edition to date. In addition, a score through a chord can also not be found in previous modern editions; this denotes an arpeggiated chord.

Reconstructed from BWV 1056. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. This violin concerto in G minor has not come down to us in the form presented here. It has been reconstructed from a lost violin concerto that survives solely in Bach's arrangement for harpsichord, namely, as the Harpsichord Concerto in F minor (BWV 1056). The reconstruction is based on a meticulous evaluation of those autograph harpsichord concertos that also survive in an original version for violin. In particular, the autograph harpsichord parts contain changes that Bach made when preparing his arrangements, thereby revealing the manner in which he transcribed his solo violin works for the harpsichord. The keyboard realization is presented in a transparent way allowing players the possibility to embellish and fill in the harmonies at their discretion./ Répertoire / Violon et Piano
