Chausson, Poeme For Violin And Orchestra Op 25

Once again, Henle can boast of an important new addition to its Pantheon of great composers: Ernest Chausson. Based on a novella by the Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev, the Poeme for violin and orchestra was originally conceived as a symphonic poem. Gradually, it evolved into a character piece with violin solo, or, to quote the composer, a piece in very free form with many passages where the violin plays alone. That Chaussons plan came off to perfection is proved by the works ever-growing popularity. The solo part of this new Henle volume satisfies the most rigorous criteria of an urtext edition. The piano reduction places a premium on playability and lies better under the fingers than ever before. Urtext. Published by G. Henle Verlag. Violin and piano reduction.
