a cura di - edited by Rina You. Par TIRINDELLI PIER ADOLFO. The edition of the Andante e Polacca for violin and piano published here was realised from an autograph manuscript held in the library of the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome. An inspired melodic vein, with a cantability typical of Late Romantic Italian compositions, characterises the piece, especially in the first part. The Polacca …

New Liszt Edition III Vol. 1. Par LISZT FRANZ. Composed in 1834, Liszt's Grand duo is based on material from three pieces from the first book (op. 19b) of Mendelssohn's Songs without Words (no. 1 in E major, no. 6 in G minor, and no. 3 in A major). While Liszt made an almost literal transcription of the first piece, he gave the second and third pieces a much freer arrangement, in the style of conc…

After hearing the Boston Symphony Orchestra perform Martinu's Symphony #1 in New York, Mischa Elman commissioned the composer to write a violin concerto for him. Martinu thereupon composed his Second Violin Concerto in 1943. That same year Elman played the solo part at the première, with Sergei Koussevitzky conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra.This piano reduction is based on the musical text …

Ed. Critica M. Talbot - Riduzione Per Canto E Pianoforte Di A. Frigé. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. RV 588 is Vivaldi’s ‘other’ Gloria, a composition having many parallels with Vivaldi’s better-known setting of the same text (RV 589). It dates similarly from the period 1713-1717, when the composer was acting choirmaster at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice. It even borrows from the same work, a slightly e…

The Sonata in A major Hob. XVI:26 is one of the sonatas by Joseph Haydn which increasingly become the focus of attention of our piano teachers. Thanks to its moderate technical demands, it is perfect for piano lessons. At the same time, it shows essential features of Haydn's piano style in a condensed form - an expressive musical declamation, rhetorical breaks full of tension, wit and humour - whi…

The Sei Sonate a Quattro are, if not Rossini's very first attempt at composition, then definitely one of his earliest works, having been composed in 1804. Composed for two violins, cello and double bass while staying with his friend and patron Agostino Triossi, the curious combination of this quartet makes this a unique, extremely well crafted piece, with a few fresh new ideas from a young compose…

Attila, Verdi's ninth opera and the second of five that he composed for Venice's Teatro La Fenice, had its premiere on 17 March 1846. Verdi was inspired to compose an opera on the subject of Attila by two rather unusual sources, Attila, König der Hunnen, a curious play by a now-forgotten German playwright, Friedrich Ludwig Zacharias Werner, and Madame de Staël's discussion of it in her magisterial…

Trilogie Sacrée. Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. The history of the composition of the oratorio is odd: the kernel of this three-part work were the movements from the middle section, the “Flight to Egypt, ” which Berlioz composed on a whim in 1850 and which he passed off as the work of a baroque composer whose existence he himself had invented. In 1854 the triptych, which was completed with the parts entitled…
