for Violin and Piano-Following the publication of the Valse-Scherzo we continue Henle's edition of Tchaikovsky?s complete works for violin and piano with the enchanting Sérénade mélancolique op. 26. This was Tchaikovsky?s first concertante work forviolin the beginning of a path that was to lead to his Violin Concerto three years later. He composed the Sérénade mélancolique in 1875 for violinist Leopold Auer originally for violin and orchestra but later also in a versionfor violin and piano. Since the autograph sources are lost this Henle edition is based on the Russian first editions which even in Tchaikovsky?s lifetime were issued in a number of revised versions. The editor RussianTchaikovsky scholar Alexander Komarov brings exemplary clarity to the confused state of the sources while Ingolf Turban unlocks the notation of the violin part with his accomplished fingerings and bowings.

This substantial volume contains all of the works that Tchaikovsky composed or arranged himself for Violin and Piano. The three larger Violin works opp. 26 34 and 42 which G. Henle Publishers also offers in individual practical editions are particularly well-known and popular. By contrast the three brief single movements with which Tchaikovsky presents charming adaptations of his own pieces promise to be genuine discoveries. Tchaikovsky’s Violin works have long suffered under corrupt musical editions heavily reworked later by violinists all the more important therefore that the editor responsible for this Urtextedition is Russian Tchaikovsky specialist Alexander Komarov. He consulted all of the relevant original sources in international archives thereby guaranteeing the highest reliability of this musical text. Ingolf Turban a Violin virtuoso of the first order supplied stylistically appropriate markings in the Violin part.
