Piano Score adapted for violin and piano (piano reduction)

Music by Mark O’Connor

52 pages - 45:00 minutes in length

The FIDDLE CONCERTO adapted for violin and piano is from Mark O’Connor’s first orchestral score, composed when he was 31 years old in 1992-93. A few years later it was recorded for Warner Bros. The recording featured the Concordia Orchestra with Marin Alsop conducting and the composer as violin soloist. The recording was named by the BMG Classical Catalog as one of the top ten classical recordings of 1995. The composition was reviewed by a distinguished panel of composers and was awarded a Meet The Composer grant for another original concerto by O’Connor. Beginning with the premiers in 1993, and including the subsequent performances into 1999, the year of this publication, The FIDDLE CONCERTO has received more performances with orchestra than any other violin concerto composed in the last 50 years. O’Connor has prepared this adaption for violin and piano from his score. The music is suited for advanced levels and the slow second movement can be appropriate for intermediate.
