Jean Sibelius: Two Pieces For Violin And Orchestra

SKU: FG.55011-635-1

ISBN 9790550116351.

In 1929 Sibelius sent some small pieces to the New York publisher Carl Fischer for
consideration. Included among these was the Suite for Violin and String Orchestra, to which
he had assigned the opus number 117.
The Suite for Violin and String Orchestra represents the culmination point in a series of
works written for violin and orchestra which started with the serenades op. 69 and continued
with the Six Humoresques opp. 87 & 89. Together these works bear witness to the
composer's deep insight into the instrumental possibilities of the violin. In these works, more
limited in formal scope than the Violin Concerto though they be, the voice of the solo violin
- Sibelius' second mother-tongue - unites with the orchestral writing of a mature and
experienced symphonist. The reduction and solo part are published together for the first time.

The F major sonata is the last and the most developed of all the works Sibelius wrote during his youth for his own instrument, the violin. It was completed in the summer of 1889 in Loviisa and premiered there the same year at a charity gala. During his youth Sibelius looked to the music of Grieg, which is clearly to be heard in this work - not only in the melodies or harmonies but also in the formal structure, which is more romantically oriented than that of many early works from Sibelius's youth, which are more closely tied to the classical tradition. In the andante Sibelius introduces aspects of folk music for the first time, thereby anticipating the Finnish stamp of many of his pieces from the 1890's.

Chamber music by Jean Sibelius - a welcome addition to the chamber music repertoire for strings with piano.

ISBN 9790004803233. 9 x 12 inches.

This volume presents partly less known, but undoubtedly interesting and highly welcome additions to the chamber music repertoire for violinists and cellists in the reliable Urtext of the Complete Edition. The violin was Sibelius's instrument. He was active as a violinist mainly during his studies at the Helsinki Music Institute from 1885-1889 and for a short time thereafter. The present volume contains Jean Sibelius's opus-numbered works for violin or cello and piano, 36 compositions in total. Most of the works of this volume were created at the beginning of the 20th century and remained unpublished until the early 1920s. Sibelius composed far less music for the cello than for the violin. Malinconia (Op. 20), published in 1911, remained his only opus-numbered work exclusively for cello and piano. This volume also includes Two Pieces (Op. 77) and Four Pieces (Op. 78) as versions for violin with piano and for cello with piano.
