Elgar, Chanson de Nuit & Chanson de Matin for Violin & Piano (Peters)
Bathed in late-Romantic warmth and poetic atmosphere, these two contrasting miniatures reveal the refined expressive voice of Edward Elgar at his most intimate. Originally written for violin and piano and later orchestrated by the composer, Chanson de Nuit, Op. 15 No. 1 (first published in 1897, likely composed in 1889–1890) offers a deeply lyrical and introspective character, often regarded as the more profound of the pair. Its companion, Chanson de Matin, Op. 15 No. 2, provides a brighter, more radiant contrast, celebrated for its fresh melodic charm and enduring popularity. Published by Edition Peters, this violin and piano edition presents two beloved salon pieces that combine elegance, expressive nuance, and accessible Romantic beauty—ideal for recital or refined study.
