There is no reference to the origin occasion or a performance of the Sinfonia concertante in E-flat for Violin Viola and Orchestra K. 364 (320d) because in all probability it was composed in Salzburg (presumably in summer or early autumn 1779): Mozart seems to have had no reason to write about it. It was apparently in Paris that he first had the occasion of giving the genre of the ?Symphonie concertante? his special attention. On April 5 1778 he wrote to his father: ?Now I shall write a sinfonie concertante for flute wendling oboe Ramm Punto horn and Ritter bassoon?.Even more discouraging must have been the fact that he had similardifficulties in Paris in having the works performed as he had in Mannheim. After the organizier of the Concerts spirituels Le Gros contrary to his promise did not include the mentioned ?sinfonie concertante? in his program.Mozart had no reason to compose any more for this genre in Paris. After Mozart?s return to Salzburg he might have been eager to introduce the new genre there especially since adequate instrumentalists were available. Also the choice of the solo instruments (violin and viola) in the work presented here was probably influenced by the popularity of this instrumental combination in Salzburg at that time.- Urtext of the New Mozart Edition- Full score

Bartok’s Violin Concerto No.2 is an exciting work which is available here as a miniature score for study and reference purposes.Bela Bartok's interest in variation as a compositional method was most fully realised in this Concerto which he completed in 1938 and dedicated to his dear friend Zoltan Szekely. This is a detailed yet unostentatious Concerto in which the variations and intense expression the piece to life.

Two pieces 'Laetare anima mea' and Devotion for Violin (or Cello) and Orchestra.

Per Nørgård's Helle Nacht (Light Night) - Violin Concerto No. 1 dating from 1986-87. Programme note: This is my third work for solo string instrument and orchestra the other two being 'Between' for cello and 'Remembering Child' for viola. The title 'Light Night' refers to the caracteristics of each of the four movements. The 'light' translucent quality of the melody sound and rhythm woven into a fine filigree; the Night revealed in the multi-layered possibilities of interpretation like/constantly/changing the aspect of a turning prism with each performing appearing differntly to the listeners. Ofcourse this is more or less the case with every musical work but in HELLE NACHT the ambiguity is made innermost principle. The first and last movements form a symphonic frame for the inner two more static interludes though even in these light is constantly breaking through. I wrote the concerto during 1986-87 at the request of Anton Kontra. Per Nørgård
