Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) and George Gershwin (1898-1937), two of the best known figures in American music, were good friends and often played together. Heifetz had urged Gershwin to write a violin concerto for him, but unfortunately Gershwin died before the project got off the ground. These transcriptions by Heifetz are the next best thing. The five excerpts from Porgy and Bess'« and the Three Preludes are well known and Heifetz often played them as encores, but the substantial concert excerpt from An American in ParisTM has never been published before and may not have been performed by Heifetz in public at all. The infectious rhythms and gorgeous tunes of thisAmerican classic are brilliantly served by Heifetz as transcriber, and the Porgy excerpts (which include 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now,' 'Summertime' and 'My Man's Gone Now') sizzle with virtuoso pizzazz in these wonderful arrangements. This edition is a must-have for lovers of the violin and the music of Gershwin! / Date parution : 2022-11-04/ Recueil / Violon et Piano

Critical Edition Violin Solo Part-This new edition of the violin solo part to the Korngold Violin Concerto in D Major is the first-ever to include Jascha Heifetz's performance notations edited by Endre Granat one of his star proteges. Born in Austria Korngold was forced into US exile by the annexation of Austria by the Nazis. He vowed to give up composing anything other than film music until Hitler was defeated. With the end of World War II he retired from films to concentrate on music for the concert hall. The violin concerto was the first such work that Korngold wrote following some initial persuasion from violinist and fellow émigré Bronislaw Huberman. Korngold was hurt by the assumption that he hadsold his integrity to Hollywood. He was thus determined to prove himself with a work that combined vitality and superb craftsmanship. Korngold composed his Violin Concerto in D major Op.35 in 1945 dedicating it to Alma Mahler the widow of his childhood mentor Gustav Mahler. The work was premiered on February 15 1947 by Jascha Heifetz and the St. Louis Symphony under conductor Vladimir Golschmann. It received the most enthusiastic ovation in St. Louis concert history at the time. On March 30 1947 Heifetz played the concerto in Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Efrem Kurtz: the broadcast performance was recorded on transcription discs. Heifetz's performance launched the work into the standard repertoire and it quickly became Korngold's most popular piece. Concerning Heifetz's performance of the work the composer wrote In spite of the demand for virtuosity in the finale the work with its many melodic and lyric episodes was contemplated more for a Caruso than for a Paganini. It is needless to say how delighted I am to have my concerto performed by Caruso and Paganini in one person: Jascha Heifetz.

Jascha Heifetz Version-Since their first publication by Ricordi in 1820 Paganinis Caprices Op. 1 have been sources of inspiration for many great violinists and composers. They have no equal either in beauty originality or difficulty of performance remarked the greatviolinist Ole Bull. However early editions on which most modern publications are based contain many errors as they were not proof read by the composer nor with his manuscript. Even since 1974 when the manuscript was finally published misprintspersisted in virtually every edition forcing players to rely on two or more editions. This was necessary to have both accurate notation that was more in line with Paganinis original intentions (Urtext editions) as well as useful technical markingssuch as fingerings and bowings later added by generations of master violinist. These practical editions however still contained many of the inconsistencies that were first introduced in the first and second printings. Now nearly two centuries later this edition finally offers violinists the best of both worlds uniting a newly-engraved Urtext violin part edited by Endre Granat with expert bowings and fingerings as practiced and taught by legendary violinist and Granats mentor Jascha Heifetz.

Arranged for Clarinet and Piano-Taking inspiration from Jascha Heifetz masterful transcription of George Gershiwns wonderfully original Three Preludes Charles Neidich has created a work that functions as a real duet between the clarinet and piano. Rather than simplytranspose the Heifetz violin part Neidich adapted the work to fit the clarinet taking what works well and changing other parts often returning to Gershwins original to fit the character of the clarinet. The transcription includes an A clarinetpart in E minor for those who find the 2nd Preludes original key of D# minor daunting.

William Walton Edition-This edition of William Walton's Violin Concerto has been off-printed from the William Walton Edition full score and combines the scholarship of the Edition (including an introduction by the editor) with the practical benefits of a study score format.Commissioned by Jascha Heifetz the work was completed in 1939 and premiered by Heifetz later that year. Walton revised the concerto in 1943 and it is this version which is presented in the current edition.

Jascha Heifetz published this arrangement of the eponymous early Debussy song in 1935. Debussy likely penned the original vocal version in 1878 while in his mid-teens setting a poem by Paul Bourget. This title is translated Beautiful Evening and the poem continues to describe such an evening then explores the need to relish such experiences in light of the brevity of human life. Though brief the piece is elegant in its lyricism and remains true to the emotion of the text which may be perceived even when one does not hear the words.
