Édition Révisée De Hn 293. Par FRANCK CESAR. Contrairement à d'autres oeuvres tardives de Franck, sa sonate pour violon (1886) fut d'emblée chaleureusement accueillie par le public et la critique. La sonate est dédiée à Eugène Ysaÿe qui, avec son impeccable technique, suscitait l'admiration de ses contemporains. Ysaÿe en était tellement enthousiasmé qu'il promit: 'Je jouerai ce chef-d'oeuvre partout où je trouverai un pianiste artistique'. Rien n'a altéré depuis lors l'engouement du public pour cette oeuvre, mais il était temps de réviser l'ancienne édition Henle à la lumière de l'état actuel de la recherche. Il a notamment été prouvé que Franck avait étroitement participé à la lecture des épreuves d'imprimerie, de sorte que la nouvelle édition Henle repose non seulement sur le manuscrit autographe, mais tient compte également des nombreuses additions que comporte la première édition. L'annotation de la partie de violon de l'édition Henle est due à Yehudi Menuhin. Daniel Hope s'est occupé des minimes adaptations au texte musical révisé./ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Par GASIENIEC MIROSLAW. The first version of the Sonata for violin and piano was written in the autumn of 2008, when I had the opportunity to work with the violinist Robert Bachara, who was pursuing his doctoral studies at Wroclaw Music Academy. A few years later, around the turn of 2016, I revised the musical material, made some changes and shortened the work. It was then that Dr Jacek Ropski, a lecturer at the music academy, took an interest in the Sonata. In January 2016 we produced a recording of this composition, which helped with his post-doctoral studies. I would like to express my profound gratitude to Dr Jacek Ropski for his invaluable musical and performance remarks, which led to the present form of the Sonata for violin and piano. I am also grateful to Professor Bartosz Bryla of Poznan Music Academy for his very favourable review of this composition and warm words of support for its publication. I also hope that this work will find a place among young performers. Miroslaw Gasieniec translated by John Comber / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Par DAVIS OLIVER. 'For many years the violinist Kerenza Peacock and I have been discussing the concept of a piece about trees. One day I received in the post from her a book by Annie Davidson entitled, ‘How to be More Tree’. This brilliant book became the inspiration for the Arboretum Suite. The first tree I decided to write about was Aspen. I read that Aspen trees work together sharing water and nutrients through their root system, so only as a community can they grow in strength. Aspen is followed by Açai Palm, a tree which is native to Brazil and Argentina, hence the Latin American feel of this movement. The score is marked pizzicato, the plucked sound further accentuating the South American rhythms. The Vanishing Mahogany of the Amazon naturally has a very sombre feel, although the major key ending of this movement reflects the hope that we may still manage to save the rain forests. The last movement describes my response to the description of the Mountain Hemlock. I wanted to create rhythms that depicted this beautiful tree swaying in the mountain winds.' - Oliver Davis / Date parution : 2022-06-08/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Grade 3-4-A series available as violin duets or violin & piano.Whether a student or a great artist the desire to make a beautiful sound is a constant in the life of any musician. Sound is the musician's voice the means of communicating an artistic vision to the audience and it should be the aim for children of any age or standard to be engaged in good tone production.The inspiration for writing these pieces came to me from the wish to give the young children I teach music which would develop their ear for both good intonation and beautiful tone production. All the pieces have a strongly implied harmonic structure allowing them to be played without accompaniment. Thepurpose of the second violin part is therefore to enable the teacher to underline the harmony as well as to influence the student's tone production and intonation through his own sound as much can be taught by good example. This music is also available for violin and piano with piano accompaniments written by Heidi Rolfe.Finally I think that children enjoy the challenge of expressing different moods and emotions musically and I hope that the range of ideas implied by the keys and the titles of these pieces will fire their imagination.Nigel Goldberg.

8 Easy To Intermediate Play-Alongs Of Well-Known Pieces From Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall And Brittany. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.MARTIN TOURISH). Martin Tourish is an accordionist, composer and musicologist from Co. Donegal, now based in Dublin. Celtic music is in his blood, for his ancestors were noted collectors of dance music manuscripts dating back to the 19th century. With many recordings to his credit, he now offers his expertise to performers wishing to explore the rich culture of Irish and other Celtic music on a variety of instruments. 'World Music - Celtic” presents material from the Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Breton traditions. It makes no great technical demands on the players, but Tourish points out that notation of this music is often 'skeletal”, hence it is important to gain a knowledge of the individual traditions in question and, naturally, he offers plenty of information on performance practice. The collection spans three centuries, from the blind bardic harpists of the 18th century to the international performers of the present day. Tourish accepts that this volume can only scratch the surface of a multi-faceted genre but hopes you will see it as a stepping stone to delve deeper into recordings, festivals and the very communities whence this music comes. 'World Music - Celtic” is available in four formats, each with complete recordings and backing tracks on CD: as solo versions for violin, flute or saxophone (with piano) and in an ensemble version for two melodic instruments (C, Bb or Eb), piano, guitar, bass and bodhrán. / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / Violon et Piano
