In the earlier part of Elgar's career as a composer he wrote several short pieces which became very popular. Chanson de Nuit and Chanson de Matin both carried his name far and wide before he composed his larger orchestral works. These two pieces which together complete Op.15 were published in several versions at once: for string orchestra for small orchestra for violin and piano and so on - so it is almost impossible to say with any degree of certainty which was the original version. However Elgar himself was a good violinist and so it may well be that he would have played this tune through to himself on the violin before adding a piano part andsending it off to his publishers for their consideration. In any event it remains a beautiful theme of considerable character and style.This Urtext edition provides you with an accurate representation of the composer’s original intentions and thoroughly detailed editorial marking and suggestions with commentary as edited by Donald Burrows.This is the version for Solo Violin with Piano Accompaniment. The solo violin part is also included on a separate insert.

This complete edition of the Mozart sonatas for violin and keyboard has been researched and prepared by Cliff Eisen one of the most distinguished Mozart scholars of our time. Professor Eisen recognizes that many of the apparent inconsistencies and idiosynchrasies of Mozart's notation are perfectly deliberate and that the attempts in many other editions to impose uniformity upon similar phrases or musical paragraphs can bemisguided. As he writes in the preface '...the notion that the classical style represents a model of symmetry balance and clarity is for the most part an 19th-century fiction...it has little to do with Mozart's actual practice which is basedprimarily on variety of both content and articulation.' So in this new edition alternative readings found in parallel passages are preserved rather than being sterilized by a spurious quest for conformity. Naturally all such instances are noted within the Critical Commentary. The highly individual beaming within Mozart's autographs is also respected in the new edition as this often contributes to our aural perceptions of phrase structure and accent. Professor Eisenis is conscious that there is no single 'Urtext' for this music. On the contrary he believes that 'there is compelling evidence that Mozart's later performances of his works were characterized by changes--sometimes substantial changes--in the musical text.' It is the achievement of this edition to indicate how far this freedom of musical expression can extend and as such it is likely to take pride of place in the collections of all those involved in the study and performance of these masterpieces.Contents: Sonatas K296 K376-K380; Andante and Fugue K402 (completed by Stadler); Sonata K403 (completed by Stadler).
