Works For Solo Violin

In 1892 Josef Suk (1874-1935) a mere 18 years of age contributed his piece Melody to a collection of simple works for Violin (for two three or four Violins and for Violin with Piano accompaniment) called The Young Violinist published by the Prague-based firm Jos. R. Vilimek (several books issued per year).This short charming and technically undemanding piece for young violinists which is possibly more familiar to Czech audiences in arrangements for other combinations of instruments (Violin and Piano or solo Piano) was published once again in its original version for two Violins to mark the 70th anniversary of Suk's death(2005).The whereabouts of the autograph of this work is unknown; the editor of the new edition Zdenek Nouza based his revisions on the original carefully prepared edition from 1892. The bowings are Suk's own (he was an excellent violinist) but no fingerings have been added since the piece can be played by violinists of varying technical proficiency; first position alone would suffice however a fuller richer sound would be gained with greater mastery of the instrument.

This large format edition (25.5 x 32.5cm) is the first to include all 24 of Paganini's Contradanze Inglesi and Caprices.A coherent group of works which require the highest degree of technical expertise since their publication in 1817 the Caprices have remained the defining milestone of Violin technique.Bärenreiter?s scholarly-critical edition is based on the autograph and early prints from various European publishers. The original beaming and articulation have been maintained thereby setting this new edition apart from the many publications of the last 200 years which incorporated changes andemendations by famous Violinists. In addition to the daunting Caprices this is the first time that the 24 Contradanze Inglesi for solo Violin have been published. These simple pieces are each 16 measures in length and exploit various techniques thus providing a wonderful addition to the solo Violin repertoire.This unique edition offers a spacious layout allowing plenty of room to add personal fingering and bowing. A historical introduction in English and German discusses the genesis of the works and traces their influence on Violin virtuosos. A source description and critical commentary are also included.

Bärenreiter's Easy Concertos is a new series of the most popular short concertos for violinists who want to begin performing in public. The series begins with works by the composers Rieding Seitz and Vivaldi which are clear favourites amongst the first solo concertos played.The editions include a solo Violin part and a Piano reduction for the accompanist. The series is edited by Kurt Sassmannshaus the internationally renowned Violin teacher and co-author of the Sassmannshaus Violin school tradition. His forewords introduce these little gems and include tips to ensure successful first concerts.These volumes form an ideal continuation of theSassmannshaus school editions and can be used in parallel from volume three onwards: They can also be used to supplement any Violin method. This series will be continued and will introduce students to more demanding repertoire with an increasing level of difficulty.

Carl Flesch (1873-1944) was a Jewish-Hungarian violinist composer editor and pedagogue. As well as teaching some of the finest violinists of the day he is also remembered for editing and publishing many obscure and underperformed works that might otherwise have been lost from the repertoire. Flesch's Etudesamling (Studies and Exercises) for Solo Violin was first published in 1921 as his opus 2 while the composer was living with his family in Berlin. They are among the finest Etudes available for the instrument: challenging enough to be educational and worthwhile but not so hard that the student becomes disheartened.

In the 1970s the renowned Russian violinists Igor and David Oistrach undertook the editing of major violin concertos. They concentrated themselves on works for violin and piano and drew upon their vast experience to provide a wealth of markings especially in the solo part.

Violin Sonatas Volume I-The Sonaten Fur Klavier Und Violine (Sonatas For Piano And Violin) Volume 1 is a beautiful collection of works for Violin and Piano composed by Beethoven. These sonatas provide a wonderful addition to the repertoireand will present an enjoyable challenge to the violinist and pianist alike.This Urtext edition provides you with a clear and accurate representation of the composer's original intentions. The solo violin part is alsoincluded on a separate insert.

George Frideric Handel's Sonatas Volume 1 for Violin solo and Piano accompaniment. Includes the works Sonata in A Major for violin and continuo HWV361 Op. 1 No. 3 Sonata in F major for violin and continuo HWV370 Op. 1 No. 12 and Sonata in G minor for violin and continuo HWV368 Op. 1 No. 10.

Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. Paganini’s Inno patriottico con variazioni for solo violin M.S. 81 is a composition dating back to the period between 1796 and 1800, during which he also composed works such as the Carmagnola con variazioni M.S. 1 for violin and guitar, the Grande Concerto M.S. 75, the Tema variato for violin M.S. 82 and the Sonata a violin solo M.S. 83. There is not very much background material regarding the piece: the only certainties we have about it are that it dates from his early period, springs from a Genovese environment and has numerous similarities to the Carmagnola con variazioni M.S. 1: both compositions are based on a sprightly popular theme in 6/8 that can be traced back to the Perigordino, a French dance that first appeared in the Ligurian Apennines during the Napoleonic period. The structure of the Inno patriottico con variazioni substantially follows that of the Carmagnola and Tema variato: a theme followed by a series of variations in which Paganini demonstrates his personal concept of variation. This edition is based on a recently rediscovered, non-autograph source owned by the descendants of Eredi Sivori, in combination with the copy held by the Archivio Storico del Comune di Genova and printed sources./ Répertoire / Violon

2-CD Set-Performed by Geoffrey Applegate violin Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn Beethoven composed this work his only violin concerto in 1806 in the same year that he composed the Symphony No. 5 the Rasoumowsky Quartets and the Piano Concerto No. 4. It was dedicated to Franz Clement who at its premiere separated the first movement from the second and third movements and fiddled some of his own works in between with the violin turned upside-down! We can assume that Beethoven never spoke to him again. And needless to say the world took this concerto to its heart as it has never left the repertoire. A magnificent piece. Contains a printed scoreand two compact discs featuring the concerto with soloist in digitally remastered stereo; then again in a digital stereo accompaniment version minus the solo violin part.

The two-movement work was inspired by the title of a book by Jacques Roubaud and dedicated to Violinist Gidon Kremer whose playing and musicianship also inspired the work.Kaija Saariaho is a contemporary Finnish composer livingand working in Paris and Graal Thé tre is one of her principal works frequently performed in spite of its ferocious virtuosic requirements. Unlike many of her other works Graal Thé tre has no electronic extensions but exploresthe relationship fully between soloist and Orchestra. She gained international renown for her first opera l?Amour du Loin and continues a prolific compositional life with a wide range of international performances.

Six Sonatas for Violin and Viola Hob. VI:1?6-The title ?Solo per il Violino? which Haydn gave these sonatas in his ?Entwurf-Katalog? (the handwritten catalogue he maintained of his own works) already gives us an indication: it is only the Violinwhich is treated as a solo instrument in these six sonatas the Viola has an accompanying role. Haydn might have written these ?soli? for himself; but they also might have been for Luigi Tomasini the ?first violinist? atEsterházy?s court. Today these duos enjoy great popularity particularly for teaching purposes. We are now proud to present the definitive Henle edition following the text in the Complete Edition of Haydn?s Works withthe addition of specially composed cadenzas.

A cura di | Edited by Italo Vescovo. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. The Sonata à violin solo (M.S. 83) is an early work by Paganini that can be ascribed to the years 1796-1800, a period which includes works such as the posthumous Grande concerto (M.S. 75), the Inno patriottico con variazioni (M.S. 81) and the Tema variato (M.S. 82) for violin. There are no doubts as to the authenticity of the work: the highly virtuosic experimental writing, the indications ?Organetto? and ?Flagioletto? and the use of the fourth string are all distinctive traits found in Paganini?s writing from this period which link the Sonata to the Inno patriottico con variazioni and the Tema variato. The most significant characteristics of this composition are its length and the three-movement structure that connect it to the Classical style, at least far as the first movement is concerned: it is written in sonata form, something rarely seen in Paganini?s solo violin works. / Date parution : 2022-02-17/ Répertoire / Violon

Arranged For Mandolin. This book contains the first three of J. S. Bach's solo violin Sonatas and Partitas arranged for mandolin. The goal of the material is to make learning these challenging pieces easier. Mandolin tablature is included throughout the book. Mandolinists who have little or no experience reading standard notation will find this to be an essential learning tool. For good reason, there has been widespread interest in learning these pieces in the mandolin community. The pieces were originally written for violin. As a result, Bach's use of string crossing patterns and open-string pedals work brilliantly on the mandolin. Also, as solo works they are a useful addition to anyone's performingrepertoire. Lastly, even if never performed, learning all or some of these is wonderful for building mandolin technique. Violinists often say that if you can play the Bach Solo Sonatas and Partitas you can play anything-the same is certainly true for mandolinists. This book contains the first three of J. S.
