Concerto No. 2: Cello: Study Score

William Walton Edition-This edition of William Walton's Cello Concerto has been off-printed from the William Walton Edition full score and combines the scholarship of the Edition (including an introduction by the editor) with the practical benefits of a study score format.Dating from 1956 the work was commissioned by Gregor Piatigorsky and premiered by him the following year. Walton regarded this work as the best of his three solo concertos.

für Violoncello und Orchester-Schnittke?s first cello concerto was written during a near fatal time in his life after having suffered a severe stroke in 1985 during which his heart stopped three times. Upon recovery he completed the concerto the music becoming more dissonant and discordant with the melodies more contorted.The first cello concerto was a monumental endeavor for large orchestra and approximately 40 minutes in duration. The work was written for Schnittke?s close friend Russian cellist Natalia Gutman. The solo part is most feverish and virtuosic exhausting the performer both technically and emotionally. The last fourth movement creates an unusual structuralprogression ending in what feels like a celestial hymn-like prayer. Schnittke himself said: Suddenly I was given this finale from somewhere and I?ve just written it down.Available here is the study score for Schnittke?s emotionally and technically demanding Cello Concerto No.1. This Sikorski edition study score is well presented and provides an excellent resource for study or perusal use.

This study score is based on the score and complete performance material of Dvorák's famous B minor Cello Concerto (BA 9045) edited by Jonathan Del Mar and published in 2011. In addition the study score contains a Foreword by Dvorák scholar Jan Smaczny.Like every other major 19th-century cello concerto, Dvorák's concerto resulted from a collaboration between the composer and a virtuoso musician. Several passages in Dvorák's autograph were written by the cellist Hanus Wihan but Bärenreiter's edition now reveals that some details in the orchestral parts are also in his writing, showing just how closely the two musicians were working together.The editor Jonathan Del Mar has conscientiously examined every available source, including two that have hitherto been either ignored or crucially undervalued. His research has led to a benchmark edition that reconstructs, for the first time since its initial publication in 1896, Dvorák's definitive version of the solo part. It differs from previous editions in practically every measure and hundreds of corrections have also been made to the orchestral parts. - Includes Dvorák's final and definitive version of the solo cello part - Incorporates new discoveries regarding the collaboration between Dvorák and Wihan - With Feuermann's and Casals's alternative versions of a passage in the first movement - Detailed Foreword (Eng/Cz/Ger) / Violoncelle Et Orchestre
