Double concertos and other concert works for violin, cello, and orchestra: An annotated bibliography.

摘要

This treatise presents an annotated list and description of the double concertos and other concert works for violin, cello and orchestra. With the exception of the Concerto in A Minor, Op 102 by Johannes Brahms, performers have generally overlooked this genre, and as a result these works have fallen into obscurity. Although over sixty pieces have been composed for the combination of violin, cello and orchestra, even well informed musicians can name only a few. The ultimate purpose of this compilation is to familiarize musicians with these pieces, thereby promoting both the study and performance of them.;The compositions are organized alphabetically by the composers' last names, and a chronological list of the composers is also included. Each annotation consists of a brief biography of the composer and a description of their style. A short discussion of the concerto follows and includes first performance information when available, important features of the work, a description of technical difficulties, and publication and recording information. The last chapter of the treatise is devoted to the works that, for various reasons, are unobtainable for study; in these cases, all of the known information is given.
