Concerto No. 3 in B Minor, Op.61 for violin and piano by Camille Saint-Saens
Urtext edition published by G. Henle Verlag. Edited by Peter Jost
Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) was the preeminent French composer of his day--perhaps even of the Romantic Era. He revered form and craft, finding inspiration in the music of the past--yet was known for his melodic gift, invention, and harmonic adventurousness. He made important contributions to several forms, particularly for string-players.
His ''Violiin Concerto No. 3 in B minor, Op.61'' is the most enduring of his three concertos for the instrument. Written for Sarasate, it finds a balance between melodic invention, subtlety of expression, and technical prowess that has endeared generations of violinists to its music. This high-quality Henle urtext edition has been arranged by Johannes Umbreit and features fingering and bowing marks by Ernst Schliephake, with advice from Ruggiero Ricci. For advanced players. Includes piano score and marked and unmarked violin parts.
