Chanson de Matin Opus 15 No 2 by Elgar (Edition Butorac)
for violin and piano
Edited by Tomislav Butorac
Chanson was composed originally in this form for violin and piano but was also orchestrated by the composer. It was first published in 1899, however it is thought to have been written earlier in 1889 or 1890. Chanson de matin is a companion piece to Sir Elgar's work Chanson de Nuit. It is a very popular composition due to its fresh melodic appeal.
Albéniz Tango for Violin or Viola and Piano by Isaac Albéniz, arranged by Watson Forbes, is a richly expressive Spanish character piece that rewards lyrical playing and rhythmic freedom.
