G-Henle - Violin

Concertino in a minor op. 21 in Hungarian Style for Violin and Piano-With this one-movement Concertino Oskar Rieding turns to already advanced students of the violin. Aside from playing in third position it also requires a considerable degree of dexterity and mastery of bowing. The Hungarian style??? mentioned in the title alludes to the fact that Prussian-born Rieding gave more than three decades of service at Budapest???s National Theatre. Its marked rhythms recall Hungarian folk music and will appeal to more spirited young violinists. The Slovenian Rieding specialist Maru?a Zupan i contributes an interesting preface on the little-known composer to this Urtext edition: the markings in the solo part are provided by the experienced violinistEvelyne Gr?b-Trauer.

L’année 1873 représenta pour Dvorák un tournant. Suite au refus de son opéra «Le Roi et le charbonnier», il essaya de donner une nouvelle direction à son œuvre. Son Quatuor à cordes en fa mineur op. 9, achevé la même année, devait marquer le coup d’envoi d’un nouveau style, moins influencé par la musique de Wagner – à sa grande déception ce quatuor subit un échec auprès des musiciens. Malgré ces expériences douloureuses, Dvorák donna une deuxième chance au mouvement lent du Quatuor et le transforma en une Romance pour violon et orchestre ou piano, laquelle fut exécutée en 1877 avec beaucoup de succès. Les doigtés et les coups d’archet de Antje Weithaas confèrent une brillance toute particulière à notre édition Henle Urtext de ce petit bijou de la littérature pour violon. / Partitions classique / Cordes / Violon / HENLE VERLAG

The Viennese Jakob Dont is considered one of the most important Violin pedagogues of the nineteenth century and wrote numerous study pieces that are indispensable classics of the pedagogical literature for the Violin to this day. Among them are foremost his 24 ?Études et Caprices? op. 35 which were written between 1840 and 1849 but issued in their definitive form by Dont in an overhauled anthology from 1880. This very advanced collection of etudes (conservatory level) was rapidly so successful that innumerable new mostly heavily reworked editions appeared in the twentieth century from violinists such as Carl Flesch Max Rostal or IvanGalamian. Now for the first time G. Henle Publishers? Urtext edition restores access to the unadulterated original with Dont?s authentic fingering and bowing suggestions and in impressive graphic quality with practical fold-out pages. World-class violinist and prominent pedagogue Antje Weithaas acted as a consultant for this edition and carefully supplemented Dont?s original marking.

First came Johann Sebastian Bach?s sonatas and partitas then Nicolò Paganini?s caprices. Now with the Op. 27 Sonatas of Eugène Ysaÿe the key works in the repertoire for unaccompanied Violin areavailable in urtext editions from Henle. Ysaÿe peppered these challenging works with extraordinary difficulties dedicating each of them to a virtuoso violinist of his day and tailoring it to suit his specialcapabilities. Thanks to newly discovered source material we are able to present a ?definitive text? that in many respects supersedes the previously available text from the first edition.

Published in early 1806 Kreutzer?s ?40 Études ou Caprices? for Violin there are 42 today are the product of his years-long employment at the Conservatoire de Paris and are the most comprehensive collection of studies from his quill. Their systematic and complete reappraisal of essential Violin technique make them an indispensable tool of the trade for every serious student of the Violin (conservatory level). In the intervening two centuries numerous reprints by various publishers followed the Parisian first edition frequently adapted by famous soloists and teachers. Just a few years after the first edition Kreutzer published a completerevision of this standard work in which he exchanged or heavily altered etudes. This second version of the collection forms the basis for our Urtext edition which nevertheless presents the variants from the early edition as well. The virtuoso and sought-after Violin pedagogue Ingolf Turban acted as a consultant for this edition and furnished it with modern markings so that it provides an ideal foundation for contemporary Violin instruction.

BWV 1001-1006-J. S. Bach (1685-1750) was a German Baroque composer who is revered for the originality and skill of his contrapuntal and harmonic techniques. His Sechs Sonaten Und Partiten (BWV 1001-1006) werewritten before 1720 but not published until 1802 and only gained popularity towards the end of the 19th century. They are now regarded as the seminal work in the solo Violin repertoire and were among the first works to showcasethe technical abilities of the Violin. The Suite consists of 3 Sonatas each with four movements in the traditional slow-fast-slow-fast pattern and 3 Partias which vary with four to seven dance-likemovements. Contains two volumes with and without fingering.

Avant Paganini ?tait qualifi? de ?capriccio? un morceau de bravoure jou? au violon en guise de cadence dans les sonates ou les mouvements de concertos. Le terme pouvait ?galement d?signer parfois des ?tudes pour instruments ? cordes. La fusion de la forme de la cadence concertante avec celle de l??tude technique fut l?une des plus grandes nouveaut?s introduites par Nicol? Paganini. Avec ses Capricci op. 1 Paganini donna ? ce genre une nouvelle dimension musicale. Donnant l?impression d??tre improvis?es ces pi?ces d?bordent d?invention m?lodique et sont structur?es avec intelligence et clart?. L??dition Urtext propos?e ici repose exclusivement sur le manuscritautographe de Paganini car n?ayant sans doute pas ?t? revue par le compositeur la premi?re ?dition comporte de nombreuses erreurs. Les indications de jeu de Renato De Barbieri dans la version annot?e reposent sur l??tude approfondie du manuscrit autographe ainsi que sur de longues ann?es de pratique en concert. La pr?face d?une grande richesse d?informations vient ainsi compl?ter une ?dition telle que l??uvre en m?ritait depuis longtemps.

Works for two Pianos-Whose ears are not instantly filled with the dreamy flute solo when Debussy?s 'Prélude l?après-midi d?un faune' is mentioned? Very few people know that before he wrote the orchestral score Debussy made a version for two pianos.Both versions should be seen as being independent and they differ in some details. The differences are revealed in our edition as are Debussy?s entries concerning the work in his copy of the score. The volume also contains theSpanish impression 'Lindaraja' and the three pieces 'En blanc et noir' in which Debussy addresses the horrors of World War I. Andreas Groethuysen one half of the famous piano duo Tal & Groethuysen provided the fingerings.
