Par SPOHR LOUIS. The selection of 36 violin duos from Louis Spohr's famous Violinschule, compiled with commentary by Kolja Lessing, meets two objectives: First of all, it is an extraordinarily delightful, musically-enriched addition to the violin-duo repertoire - secondly, it incorporates the easiest, no less original duos into the lessons for beginners. / Date parution : 2019-10-18/ Répertoire / 2 Violons

Violin Duets. Par IGUDESMAN ALEKSEY. There is no doubt about Aleksey Igudesman's admiration for Mozart and his music and these 'Igudesmanised' pieces for two violins would most likely have Mozart himself laughing, were he to hear them. The 10 pieces for two violins such as 'A Very Little Night Music' through to 'Loud Date and Domino' will be enjoyed by all including two inspired by Mozart but composed by Igudesman himself. There is also a free bonus piece, 'Concertino in G', as a digital sheet music download included. 'Whether the pieces in this book are unmistakably 'Igudesman' is for you to judge, but I am quite convinced that Mozart, were he alive, would have had a laugh if he heard them... before he sued me for copyright infringement!'

Igudesman-style for two violins Performance pieces full of humour and quirkiness for the stage or even for busking Background notes for each piece are provided / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Recueil / 2 Violons

COMPOSER'S NOTESThe music of these violin duos has been influenced by the centuries-long flow of traditional music from the British Isles to North America and back again. The compositions are dedicated toseveral people who are keeping that transatlantic musical flow in motion today.Sleep Sound Ida Mornin'Sleep Sound ida Mornin' is a very short duo for two violins based on a traditionaltune which I first heard in the Orkney Islands although played there on the banjo by a native of Kansas. My extended version with a slow introduction was first played in Boston on 29th January 1995 by Lesley Chen and NathanSchmidt members of the New England Conservatory's Preparatory Division during their annual weekend festival of contemporary music. This very remarkable and encouraging event was devised and organised by Rodney Lister to whomthis piece is dedicated.Duration c. 2 minutes.Atlantic DriftAn earlier even shorter version of Atlantic Drift written for violin and piano was first performed by PeterSheppard Skaerved and Aaron Schorr at the Royal Academy of Music London on 9th May 2006 in a concert to celebrate the 70th birthday of the American composer and transatlantic communicator Elliott Schwartz. The melody isoriginal though clearly influenced by the music and perpetual tides of the Hebrides. Duration c. 3 minutes.Rain and Mist are on the Mountain I'd Better Buy SomeShoesThis four-movement duo for two violins is based on a fragment of a Gaelic folk song from Barra in the Western Isles of Scotland. The title suggests that although the Gaels of yesteryear were rich inpoetic expression and the beauties of nature they were otherwise not very affluent. Rain and Mist was first performed at the Wigmore Hall London on 6th February 2005 by Corina Belcea and Laura Samuel.Duration c. 6
