for violin and piano.
In
February 2005, the Music Sales Group presented a concert of music for
the Violin at the Wigmore Hall, London to launch the Wigmore Hall New
Music Fund, set up to promote the commissioning and performance of new
works for the important international recital venue. This title contains
works from that performance by fourteen of the very best contemporary
composers, including Philip Glass, Kaija Saariaho and Peter Maxwell
Davies, as well as world premieres from Joby Talbot, Craig Armstrong,
John Tavener and Judith Weir. The pieces in this programme have been
specially selected for their accessibility, making this folio suitable
for players of a wide range of abilities from elementary level (1st to
3rd position only) to shorter but more challenging, adventurous and
unusual works. The set as a whole represents the large amount of variety
and character alive in today's top-level composition. An excellent
repertoire source that is fresh, exciting and highly accessible.
