About this arrangement

Violin and piano - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q7098 For Violin and Piano. Composed by Rodion Shchedrin. This edition: Sheet music. Violin Library. Downloadable. Duration 6 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q7098. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q7098). Deep Slavic emotion and riveting virtuosity - this is what characterises many compositions by Rodion Shchedrin. Even though he has been a cosmopolitan for a long time, the Moscow-born Shchedrin has remained an original Russian composer whose bond with Russian musical folklore and poetry has never been severed. This piece for violin and piano, which will be performed for the first time by the Greek world-class violinist Leonidas Kavakos in London, is an homage to Joseph Haydn to mark his special anniversary. As the Russian played a significant role in Viennese Classicism, it is not surprising that Shchedrin refers to this tradition in his piece.With this commission Rodion Shchedrin, follows in the steps of Joseph Haydn, the bicentenary of whose death was marked in 2009. Haydn took his first trip to the Austrian town of Eisenstadt in 1761 as new vice chapelmaster of the Esterházy family. Eleven years after his death, Haydn's body was transferred to the Haydn Museum in Eisenstadt.
