Johannes Brahms: Concerto: Violin: Part

D major-Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto written for his friend Joseph Joachim has remained a standard in the concert literature since its first performance. No scholarly critical edition of this work has ever been published and therefore the many sometimes conflicting sources have never been evaluated for a critical performing edition. Not only Brahms' autograph score solo part and autograph Piano reduction but also his personal copies of the first edition score as well as the first edition orchestral parts have all been consulted. Clive Brown’s edition offers insights into the genesis of the composition and the working relationshipbetween Brahms and Joachim. The critical commentary comments on all discrepancies in the sources. The critical edition of Brahms' own Piano reduction is at the same time a performing edition and includes an informative introduction as well as comments on performance practice. In addition the Piano reduction includes a separate brochure with not only the well known Joachim cadenza but also those by J. Halir H. Heermann L. Auer and F. Busoni. An informative preface (Ger/Eng) with references to performance practice and a critical commentary are included in the edition First scholarly critical edition of this standard work Critical commentary (Eng) Insightful comments on performance practice An Urtext Violin part and an additional Violin part marked with fingering and bowing suggestions by Joseph Joachim Valuable cadenza brochure with cadenzas by Joachim Halir Heermann Auer and Busoni Full score critical commentary & parts (BA9049) and Violin & Piano reduction (BA9049-90) and study score (TP949) available for sale

Entre 1859 et 1885 avec ses quatre symphonies ses deux concertos pour piano un concerto pour violon des danses des variations et des ouvertures Brahms était devenu le représentant incontournable de la grande musique orchestrale. En 1887 il choisit d?écrire son double concerto en la mineur op. 102 pour le violon et le violoncelle car il disposait pour ces instruments de solistes de premier plan: après la création de la deuxième sonate pour violoncelle de Brahms le violoncelliste Robert Hausmann lui avait demandé une pièce de concert quant au fameux violoniste Joseph Joachim il entretenait avec Brahms des liens d?amitié et avait notamment créé son concerto pourviolon. Après la tonalité sombre de la quatrième symphonie ce concerto apparaît comme particulièrement optimiste et réconciliateur. Également paru dans le cadre de la nouvelle édition complète des ?uvres de Brahms il est proposé ici sous la forme très maniable de partition d?étude.
