Par BRUCH MAX. Thanks to the premiere performance by Joseph Joachim and to the release of the printed edition in 1868, Max Bruch's Violin Concerto #1 zipped onto the road to success and has never left it since. Yet from the preface of the 'BreitkopfUrtext' edition,one can infer how things looked like behind the dazzling facade. After the world premiere, the composer struggled for the definitive form. He wrote '3, 4 development sections in the finale,' and sought the advice of celebrated virtuosi such as Joseph Joachim and Ferdinand David to revise the solo part. And after all this was done (see above), Bruch suffered under the work's popularity: 'Have I written nothing but this one concerto?' The new Urtext edition is based primarily on the first edition. Next to the main source and the autograph, what is supremely interesting is a solo part with entries by Joachim and Bruch. It confirms how intensively the two men collaborated on honing the final form of the work./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Arrangeur: Robert Rainford. Par BRUCH MAZ. 7 short, melodic pieces with chances for both soloists to shine. Max Bruch (1838-1920) was a German Romantic composer, conductor and teacher. A child prodigy, he composed his first pieces at the age of nine, and went on to hold musical posts in Mannheim, Berlin and Bonn. He also spent three seasons as conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society. In his lifetime he was known mostly as a choral composer, but it is for his first violin concerto that he is chiefly remembered now. These dances were first published in 1892 for violin and piano, although Bruch later arranged them for solo piano, and also for orchestra. The slow, stately introduction leads in to seven dances in volume one, each a charming character study. Individual movements aredramatic, then tranquil: dance-like then reflective. The third, fifth and seventh movements have the feeling of folk-dances, while the others are more lyrical and expressive. Structurally the pieces are fairly simple, with melody sections flowing in to each other. Some ideas are developed into links and codas. In this arrangement, both solo players share the melodic material fairly evenly. Each has a solo movement to play, with the other movements featuring call and answer moments, harmony sections and contrapuntal elements to enjoy. Technically quite advanced, with the music covering the whole range of the instrument, these gems of pieces are well worth working on. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Flûte Traversière, Hautbois et Piano

Poema Sinfonico per Orchestra. Par RESPIGHI OTTORINO. D’abord élève du Liceo Musicale de Bologne, le compositeur et violoniste italien Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) suit l’enseignement de Rimski-Korsakov à Saint-Pétersbourg, où il fut quelque temps alto solo de l'Orchestre de l'Opéra. En 1908, alors qu’il séjourne à Berlin, il reçoit les conseils de Max Bruch. De retour en Italie, il entreprend une carrière de violoniste et d'altiste avant d’être nommé professeur de composition au Conservatoire Sainte-Cécile de Rome dont il deviendra directeur en 1924. Deux ans plus tard, Respighi démissionne de ce poste afin de pouvoir se consacrer pleinement à la composition. Ottorino Respighi est considéré comme l'un des plus grandscompositeurs italiens du début du XXe siècle. Auteur de plusieurs opéras, de ballets, de quelques cantates et oeuvres de musique de chambre, de mélodies pour orgue et piano, Respighi s’est acquis la notoriété mondiale notamment par le triptyque symphonique Fontane di Roma (Les Fontaines de Rome), Pini di Roma (Les Pins de Rome) et Feste Romane (Fêtes romaines). Son style unique a été profondément influencé par les impressionnistes français, par Rimski-Korsakov et Richard Strauss. Le compositeur-arrangeur japonais Yoshihiro Kimura a réalisé une superbe adaptation pour Orchestre d’Harmonie du poème symphonique Les Fontaines de Rome d'Ottorino Respighi. / Niveau : 6 / Transcription / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Deux des compositions les plus durables de Bruch, révélant le romantisme du compositeur allemand, la notation couramment, orchestrations colorées, et la mélodie exubérante. Le Premier Concerto pour violon en sol mineur se présente comme l'un des concertos les plus jouées et enregistrées dans le répertoire pour violon tandis Fantaisie écossaise reflète son intérêt tout au long de la musique folklorique.Réimpression de concert, op.26, CFW Siegel Musikalienhandlung, Leipzig, sd, et Fantasie, Op.46, N.
