to the violin concerto by Gyorgy Ligeti. Par ADES THOMAS. In a conversation with the violinist Peter Herresthal, we touched on the “invitation” in the score of Ligeti’s Violin concerto to provide a cadenza for the work. Peter suggested that I answer this invitation and I was happy to accept. I followed all the composer’s directions exactly: the cadenza may use material from all five movements, and…

Par WEBER CARL MARIA VON / BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Carl Maria von Weber, great innovator and orchestrator who paved the way for such Romantic giants as Wagner and Liszt, wrote this famous and oft-performed 'little concerto' in 1811. Lovely sonorities, beautiful themes - in short, a great piece for clarinet and orchestra. Also featured in this MMO edition, Beethoven's beautiful, warm-toned Piano Trio…

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. What a great way to feature that blossoming Trumpet soloist! The undeniably beautiful melody YE BANKS AND BRAES O’ BONNIE DOON is the foundation upon which this colorful and expressive Trumpet solo piece is crafted. A closer look at the orchestration of this classic Scottish air shows that the soloist is not the only one who gets to be expressive. Subtle contrapuntal motion and…

to the concerto for piano and orchestra in G Major Hob. XVIII:4. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Improvised and also composed solo cadenzas, normally occuring towards the end of a bravura aria or an instrumental concerto movement, have existed since the late 16th century. They provide the performer with an opportunity for self-presentation in the form of a free style of playing or singing, based on themes …

Heinrich Johann Franz Von Biber was a celebrated virtuoso Violinist in late 17th century Salzberg, holding the exclusive position of Musical Director to the Court of the Archbishop. This Passacaglia is a showpiece seemingly written to display the talents of a great soloist, packed with complex textures and spectacular passages. Suitable for the advanced player, this is an inriguing challenge for t…

Par ADLER SAMUEL. Premiered in October 2018 by the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, principal tubist David Saltzman as soloist, the Concerto features three movements with a cadenza between the second and third. Adler likens the solo passages in the first movement and cadenza to a singing cantor, an obvious homage to his own father's work in that role. Listen as Toledo Symphony Lab discusses the Concerto…

for Saxophone. Par . It is often the case that at the end of a concert a soloist is requested to perform an additional item not listed in the programme, in other words an encore. In general the piece that is chosen is short and emphasises the expressive qualities of the instrument as well as the musical ability of the soloist. In this collection you will find a series of works that are suitable as…

Par VINE CARL. Piano reduction and violin part.  Carl Vine's atmospheric Violin Concerto (2011) creates a rich and multi-faceted relationship between soloist and orchestra. Unfolding over two finely-crafted movements of roughly equal length, the 23-minute work often uses the orchestra sparingly, with players from the orchestra joining the soloist in delicate chamber-music textures. / Répertoire /…
