Collection for Violin - Werke für Violine - Raccolta per violino-Ce volume présente une sélection de pièces originales et de transcriptions d?époque qui n?avaient jamais fait l?objet d?une recollection en cahier. Ces transcriptions publiées par Durand en 1928 devinrent un véritable succès éditorial qui sevérifia lors des concerts des violonistes amateurs ou professionnels qui programmèrent aisément ces oeuvres-là. Leur variété et leur couleur - qui sans jamais renier Ravel et l?esprit de l?oeuvre dont certaines sont issues demeurent éminemmentviolonistiques - témoignent de la vitalité de la musique francaise du premier vingtième siècle et de son incontestable succès.Sommaire: Pavane pour une Infante défunte ?

Sonata for Violin and Violoncello-Following the intoxicating sounds of La Valse the smaller scoring and modern musical language of Sonata For Violin And Violoncello were a shock. Yet this pioneering work has now become a permanent fixture onthe concert stage.To help the players two performance scores are provided in which the other instrument’s part is also given. Both parts are included in a marked and an unmarked version.Sonata For Violin AndVioloncello was composed by Maurice Ravel between between 1920 and 1922.

Tzigane for Violin and Piano-Maurice Ravel's Tzigane for Violin and Piano.

Work progressed slowlyand d?Aranyi only received the music four days before the première but she still gave a brilliant performance.

Concert rhapsody for violin and piano-In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim Jelly D?Aranyi in concert in London. Following the performance Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D?Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel?s virtuoso classic ?Tzigane?. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon) the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel laterorchestrated ?Tzigane? and both versions remain a ?must? for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D?Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel?s masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version complete with full score and performance material as well as in the composer?s earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources including letters have been drawn on for the new edition; one of the available sources consulted for the first time was a copy of ?Tzigane? from the estate of Jelly D?Aranyi which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains besides the Urtext part a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D?Aranyi. D?Aranyi?s alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D?Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto.First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and pianoIncludes Jelly D?Aranyi?s fingering
