Complete Violin Works

Four short pieces for violin and piano by Lili Boulanger have survived and are brought together in this book. In three instances the editors Elisabeth Weinzierl and Edmund Wächter have chosen to base our new editions on the first editions. Original manuscript scores, manuscript copies and alternative versions have only been consulted for potential clarification of editorial queries. The Pièce of 1910 has only survived as an original manuscript, which has been reproduced here as faithfully as possible. These four pieces are individual works, though they can be performed together as suites of two, three or four movements where required. 'These four enchanting violin pieces, also intended for flute, can be performed together as a suite or seperately making a charming and nostalgic addition to a recital'. (Mary Nemet, String Magazine)'This collectiob is very well-presented, with helpful introductory and background notes which make me curious to discover more of this composer's output' (Leanie Anderson, ESTA arco magazine)Instrumentation:violin and piano
