Title: Re: Auber on Naxos Post by: JimL on March 22, 2020, 10:00:33 pm In his biography, it is stated that one of Auber's first big hits in Paris was a violin concerto. I wonder whatever became of it?

Title: Re: Auber on Naxos Post by: maxbe on July 07, 2020, 07:28:14 am Thanks for sharing the series of AUBER. I needed it.
Title: Re: Auber on Naxos Post by: JimL on July 14, 2020, 10:19:48 pm I'm rather surprised. The Violin Concerto sounds like it's scored only for string orchestra. I wonder if that's how Auber originally orchestrated it, or if they only had a piano reduction to work with.
Title: Re: Auber on Naxos Post by: Grandenorm on July 17, 2020, 06:41:30 pm Fleisher has score and parts which are given as: solo violin, flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and strings.
The Kalmus edition of the concerto (c. 1940) is held by a number of libraries, including NYPL. The score can also be downloaded from IMSLP. Title: Re: Auber on Naxos Post by: Gauk on July 21, 2020, 07:28:58 pm Few composers have had such a fall from grace as poor old Auber. Is there any other composer with a station named after him? Yet his music has practically falled from sight entirely.
Title: Re: Auber on Naxos Post by: JimL on July 23, 2020, 01:06:03 am However the violin concerto is orchestrated, from the excerpts it sounds like they only used a string orchestra.
Title: Re: Auber on Naxos Post by: Grandenorm on July 23, 2020, 09:22:50 pm The first movement is now on YouTube and one can definitely hear the wind instruments in the opening tutti. I will listen to the whole movement later, but thought I should post now to set Jim's mind at rest. |
