The Humoresques which for publication were divided into two groups Opus 87 and Opus 89 were all composed during 1917. The astute violinist will find that the seemingly clear-cut contours of Humoresque No.6 a delicately-framed piece are a formidable musical challenge indeed. Violin with piano reduction.

This pocket sized book contains Humoresques III - VI Op.89 for Violin solo and Orchestra by Jean Sibelius. This handy study score can be easily referenced.

Par SIBELIUS JEAN. The Suite is a student exercise, first performed 13. 4. 1889 at a musical soirée at the Helsinki Music Institute. Ferruccio Busoni, who was teacher of piano at the Institute at the time, described the first performance as follows: “We sharpened our concentration as we realised that we were about to hear something quite beyond the usual standard for student works…”. In the A major suite, colour comes to the fore for the first time as a major element in Sibelius’s music. The emphasis on sonic texture is joined – somewhat unusually for such an early work – by a fairly bold handling of rhythm and harmony. Unfortunately only the first three movements of the suite have survived in tact. The concept of the missing Gigue has survived, however, and is included in this publication./ Répertoire / Trio à Cordes
