Par YSAYE EUGENE. Format: New Edition portrait/ Répertoire / Violon et Orchestre à Cordes

This work was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to celebrate its 40th birthday. The first performance took place in June 1986 at St. Magnus' Cathedral Kirkwall as part of the tenth St. Magnus Festival.Writtenfor and first performed by Isaac Stern Davies's Violin Concerto brings together two streams in his music: symphonism and folk-fiddling. In its strongly developed substance it asks to be measured in the company of Beethoven Brahms and Sibelius while there is also particularly in the middle movement a strong element of the Scots lament. The orchestra is generally muted in colour though there is a dramatic role for the timpanist.There are threemovements played without a break - this is only one of many connections with the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.Duration c. 30mins.

D major-Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto written for his friend Joseph Joachim has remained a standard in the concert literature since its first performance. No scholarly critical edition of this work has ever been published and therefore the many sometimes conflicting sources have never been evaluated for a critical performing edition. Not only Brahms' autograph score solo part and autograph Piano reduction but also his personal copies of the first edition score as well as the first edition orchestral parts have all been consulted. Clive Brown’s edition offers insights into the genesis of the composition and the working relationshipbetween Brahms and Joachim. The critical commentary comments on all discrepancies in the sources. The critical edition of Brahms' own Piano reduction is at the same time a performing edition and includes an informative introduction as well as comments on performance practice. In addition the Piano reduction includes a separate brochure with not only the well known Joachim cadenza but also those by J. Halir H. Heermann L. Auer and F. Busoni. An informative preface (Ger/Eng) with references to performance practice and a critical commentary are included in the edition First scholarly critical edition of this standard work Critical commentary (Eng) Insightful comments on performance practice An Urtext Violin part and an additional Violin part marked with fingering and bowing suggestions by Joseph Joachim Valuable cadenza brochure with cadenzas by Joachim Halir Heermann Auer and Busoni Full score critical commentary & parts (BA9049) and Violin & Piano reduction (BA9049-90) and study score (TP949) available for sale

A minor op. 53-Dvorák?s Violin Concerto was composed between 1879 and 1882 with the active assistance of Joseph Joachim and was issued by the publisher Fritz Simrock Berlin in 1883. Its premiere took place in October of that same year with Franti?ek Ondr cek as soloist.This new Urtext edition is based on the first edition (score solo Violin part Piano reduction and orchestral parts). It also takes Dvorák?s autograph which served as a master copy for the engraving into consideration. A fresh assessment of Dvorák?s manuscript made it possible to reconstruct several variants ignored in the first and subsequent editions and toclarify ambiguities in the notation and articulation. An important component of our Urtext edition is the original Piano reduction which probably stems from Dvorák himself and in which Joseph Joachim?s fingering is published. First Urtext edition of the original Piano reductionVariants in the solo part rendered as ossia passagesForeword on the work?s genesis (Ger/Cz/Eng) and detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editor
