Edizione critica di - Critical edition by Italo Vescovo. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. This Capriccio per violino solo M.S. 54 should be considered as part of the group of short musical dedications that Paganini was in the habit of giving away to friends, colleagues and the personalities he met during his travels. Dated 1828, dedicated to Count Maurizio Dietrichstein, is a truly unique work, not only for the way in which the music is organised (notated on four staves, one for each string) but also because of the way in which it was conceived musically. The concept of polyphony is brought to an extreme level, at least in conceptual and visual terms, in this composition. Its brief structure is reminiscent of a kind of four-part chorale written in score. It is characterised by its lyrical and elegant writing style, where the four voices move in polyphonic fashion, giving birth to an extremely refined harmonic texture. This critical edition is based on the manuscript kept in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek of Vienna compared with the modern editions. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Violon

Par VOLANS KEVIN. Based on material from the South Africa-born composer?s 1997 Cello Concerto, this advanced-level solo piece creates the effect of two voices in dialogue. Its single movement is made up of a series of contrasting episodes in the manner of a set of variations and lasts around 10 minutes. This version of the piece was composed for violinist Darragh Morgan and first performed in 2021. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Répertoire / Violon
