Sonata in A Major (Franck Cesar)

Publikacja zawiera trzeci Koncert skrzypcowy G-dur KV 216 Wolfganga Amadeusa Mozarta. Kompozytor napisał dzieło w 1775 roku w Salzburgu. Dużą rolę odgrywa w Koncercie partia orkiestry, nie tylko w tutti, ale i w partiach solowego instrumentu, np. w I części (Allegro) drugim, śpiewnym tematem dzielą się skrzypce z orkiestrą. W sumie Allegro jest jednak uważane za najmniej okazałą część tego Koncertu. Część II - śpiewne, delikatne Adagio - bardziej zwraca uwagę pięknym brzmieniem, oraz, szerokim i łagodnym tematem głównym. Ostatnia część - Rondo finałowe - złożone jest natomiast z kontrastujących w charakterze i nastroju melodii, gdzie m. in. obok zdobnego, licznego w tryle, ale sztywnego fragmentu rokokowego (gitarowe pizzicato skrzypiec) pojawia się żywiołowy epizod o całkiem ludowym charakterze.
Niniejsza publikacja zawiera partię solową skrzypiec i wyciąg fortepianowy partii orkiestry.

Sunrise is not mentioned in the Memos or in the lists of works. The date is given in the memo on p. 3 of R.: "Taken from chords e[tc] & parts of an II [nd] S.Q. & put / into this Song August 1926 - but not a good job - the / words are N. G. but better than the music. This was apparently Ives's last fresh composition.

"Sunrise"
A light low in the East, -
As I lie there, it shows but does not move -
A light - as a thought, forgotten, comes again.

The forest world is waking,
A thousand leaves are beginning to gleam.

Later on, as I rise,
It shows through the trees
And lights the dark grey rock
And something in the mind
And brings the quiet day.

And tomorrow - tomorrow -
The light as a though forgotten comes again -
And with it ever the hope of the New Day.

Sunrise (Ives Charles)

Although Romuald Twardowski wrote the Three Studies - caprices for solo violin in 1992, it took quite a long time for the work to make it to the world premiere, due to his uncertainty regarding the way the second study should be performed with its changeable, capricious mood. It was not until several years later that he succeeded in giving it the form of a dialogue - a clash between two opposing phrases. Andrzej Gębski completed it, editing its performance. The first public presentation of the work took place in Warsaw on 13 December 2005.
