Tchaikovsky - Works For Violin Book

Tchaikovsky - Works For Violin Book

This comprehensive collection presents all the works composed or arranged by Tchaikovsky for violin and piano, including his well-known and much-loved larger violin works (Opp. 26, 34, and 42). These celebrated compositions are complemented by three lesser-known single movements that showcase charming adaptations of Tchaikovsky's own pieces, promising delightful new discoveries for violinists.

 Historically, Tchaikovsky’s violin compositions have often been overshadowed by editions that were heavily modified by later violinists. This Urtext edition, meticulously prepared by Russian Tchaikovsky specialist Alexander Komarov, restores the authenticity of these works.

Komarov's thorough research involved consulting all relevant original sources from international archives, ensuring the highest fidelity to Tchaikovsky’s intentions. Additionally, violin virtuoso Ingolf Turban contributed stylistically suitable markings for the violin parts, further enhancing this definitive collection.
