To schedule
The concert schedule covers works of the violin repertoire from classicist clarity to expressive audacity 20. century.
Ludaksig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German composer and pianist, one of the most influential creators in western music history, and a key transitional figure between classicism and romanticism. Beethoven is extremely important from the point of view of the development of the violin game, as he fundamentally changed the role of the violin, as well as its technical complexity and artistic role. Before Beethoven, the violin in Sonatas was often subordinate to the piano. Beethoven, on the other hand, treated the violin as an equal partner, with its own thematic role, expressive depth and technical complexity. This had a decisive influence on the development of the chamber game.
Beethoven's violin and Piano Sonata No. 8 in G Major, op. 30, No. 3 (1801-1802) is imbued with serenity, playfulness and relaxed energy. It is one of Beethoven's most optimistic violin sonatas, without heroic pathos or tragic seriousness. The first movement is a playful dialogue between violin and piano, full of surprises and lively exchanges. The second movement, marked Tempo di minuetto, is lyrical and gently changing, with the conclusion forming a calm duet between the instruments. The third movement is a lively folk dance with rustic energy, fast figures and virtuoso outbursts.
Anton ilkn DVO Ilkk (1841-1904) was a Czech composer, considered one of the most important representatives of romanticism. He worked in Prague, and between 1892 and 1895 he created in NE Animatork. DVO ampkk is known for his rich melodiousness, beautiful harmony and use of Czech folk musical material, which he skillfully weaved into his works.
DVO edkk wrote his only Violin Concerto in a minor, Op. 53, B. 108 at the suggestion of publisher Simrock and dedicated it to violinist Joseph Joachim. The work was produced between 1879 and 1880, and before its premiere it was reworked by DVO Editzk for the Czech violinist Frantisek ond Editzk, who also performed the Viennese and London premieres. The concerto consists of three movements: the first movement is a lively dialogue between the orchestra and the soloist, the second movement reveals a beautiful lyricism, and the third is a dance rondo full of folk energy and melodic originality. The work remains one of the most important concertos of the violinist repertoire.
Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) was a Russian composer and pianist known for virtuoso and expressively rich works for soloists. His works for violin, including two concertos and chamber works, combine technical exactingness, energetic rhythmicity and recognizable melody, which allows the violinist to demonstrate both virtuosity and expressive power. Prokofiev remains one of the leading creators of 20. century, whose music is a constant in the modern repertoire.
Romeo and Juliet is a ballet in three acts written in 1935 and 1936 by Prokofiev based on the tragedy of the same name by 6th Shakespeare. Three pieces from the ballet were masterfully arranged for violin and piano by David Grjunes. The first movement to Montego and Capuleto is one of the most recognizable parts of the ballet. The music is rhythmic, dark, and determined, illustrating the long-standing animosity between the Montego and Capulet families of Verona. The heavy steps and emphatic chords symbolize the strength, pride and intransigence of both lineages. The dance of girls with lilies is a calm, gentle and lyrical dance that illustrates purity, innocence and youth. The music is light and elegant, illustrating the graceful movement of the girls. This phrase creates a contrast with the dramatic and conflictive works of the ballet, emphasizing beauty and tranquility before tragic events.
The last movement of the mask represents a scene at Capulet's ball where Romeo and his friends dance wearing masks. The music is lively, playful and full of energy, reflecting the mystery and exuberance of the evening, while at the same time the music hints at danger, since the Montegs are in hostile territory. In this scene, Romeo meets Juliet for the first time, which is a crucial moment for the development of the story.
Camille Saint-sa Animatns (1835-1921) was a French composer, pianist, organist and conductor, one of the leading exponents of French romantic music. In addition to technical play and virtuosity, his works for violin allow emotional expression. Saint-sa Animkns is known for its elegant melodiousness, clear structure and brilliant orchestration, which allows the violinist to be able to display both virtuosity and subtle lyricism.
Introduction and Rondo capriccioso in a minor, op. 28, is a work for violin and orchestra written by Camille Saint-sa Animatns in 1863. The composition was dedicated to the virtuoso violinist Pablo de Sarasate, who also premiered the work and the composer also conducted the work. The slow introduction (Andante malincolico) is gradually revived and concludes with a short Cadenza opening the Rondo (Allegro ma non troppo). The theme presented by the violin has a distinct Spanish touch and includes great jumps and brilliant arpeggios. This is followed by a contrasting lyrical theme (con morbidezza). After the final Rondo, the violin transitions from a short Cadenza with chords to a brilliant coda designed to show off the virtuosity of the violin game.

K sporedu
Spored koncerta zajema dela violinskega repertoarja vse od klasicistične jasnosti do izrazne drznosti 20. stoletja.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) je bil nemški skladatelj in pianist ter eden izmed najvplivnejših ustvarjalcev v zahodni glasbeni zgodovini ter ključna prehodna osebnost med klasicizmom in romantiko. Beethoven je izjemno pomemben iz vidika razvoja violinske igre, saj je temeljito spremenil vlogo violine ter njeno tehnično zahtevnost in umetniško vlogo. Pred Beethovnom je bila violina v sonatah pogosto podrejena klavirju. Beethoven pa je violino obravnaval kot enakovrednega partnerja, z lastno tematsko vlogo, izrazno globino in tehnično zahtevnostjo. To je odločilno vplivalo na razvoj komorne igre.
Beethovnova Sonata za violino in klavir št. 8 v G-duru, op. 30, št. 3 (1801–1802) je prežeta z vedrino, igrivostjo in sproščeno energijo. Gre za eno Beethovnovih najbolj optimističnih violinskih sonat, brez herojskega patosa ali tragične resnosti. Prvi stavek je igriv dialog med violino in klavirjem, poln presenečenj in živahnih izmenjav. Drugi stavek, z oznako Tempo di minuetto, je liričen in nežno spreminjajoč, zaključek pa tvori miren duet med instrumentoma. Tretji stavek je živahen ljudski ples z rustikalno energijo, hitrimi figurami in virtuoznimi izbruhi.
Antonín Dvořák (1841–1904) je bil češki skladatelj, ki velja za enega najpomembnejših predstavnikov romantike. Deloval je v Pragi, med letoma 1892 in 1895 pa je ustvarjal v New Yorku. Dvořák je znan po bogati melodiki, čudoviti harmoniji in uporabi češkega ljudskega glasbenega gradiva, ki ga je spretno prepletal v svoja dela.
Dvořák je svoj edini Koncert za violino v a-molu, op. 53, B. 108 napisal po predlogu založnika Simrocka in ga posvetil violinistu Josephu Joachimu. Delo je nastajalo med leti 1879 in 1880, pred premiero pa ga je Dvořák preoblikoval za češkega violinista Františka Ondříčka, ki je izvedel tudi dunajsko in londonsko premiero. Koncert je sestavljen iz treh stavkov: Prvi stavek je živahen dialog med orkestrom in solistom, drugi stavek razkriva čudovito liričnost, tretji pa je plesni rondo, poln ljudske energije in melodične izvirnosti. Delo ostaja eno najpomembnejših koncertov violinističnega repertoarja.
Sergej Prokofjev (1891–1953) je bil ruski skladatelj in pianist, znan po virtuoznih in izrazno bogatih delih za soliste. Njegova dela za violino, vključno z dvema koncertoma in komornimi deli, združujejo tehnično zahtevnost, energično ritmiko in prepoznavno melodiko, kar violinistu omogoča, da pokaže tako virtuoznost kot izrazno moč. Prokofjev ostaja eden vodilnih ustvarjalcev 20. stoletja, čigar glasba je stalnica sodobnega repertoarja.
Romeo in Julija je balet v treh dejanjih, ki ga je v letih 1935 in 1936 napisal Prokofjev po istoimenski tragediji Williama Shakespeara. Tri skladbe iz baleta je za violino in klavir mojstrsko priredil David Grjunes. Prvi stavek Montegovi in Capuletovi je eden najbolj prepoznavnih delov baleta. Glasba je ritmična, temačna in odločna, kar ponazarja dolgoletno sovraštvo med Veronskima družinama Montegovih in Capuletovih. Težki koraki in poudarjeni akordi simbolizirajo moč, ponos in nepopustljivost obeh rodbin. Ples deklet z lilijami je miren, nežen in liričen ples, ki ponazarja čistost, nedolžnost in mladost. Glasba je lahkotna in elegantna, kar ponazarja gracilno gibanje deklet. Ta stavek ustvarja kontrast z dramatičnimi in konfliktnimi deli baleta ter poudarja lepoto in mir pred tragičnimi dogodki.
Zadnji stavek Maske predstavlja prizor na Capuletovem plesu, kjer Romeo in njegovi prijatelji plešejo v maskah. Glasba je živahna, igriva in polna energije, kar odraža skrivnostnost in razposajenost večera, hkrati pa glasba namiguje na nevarnost, saj so Montegovi na sovražnem ozemlju. V tem prizoru se Romeo prvič sreča z Julijo, kar je ključen trenutek za razvoj zgodbe.
Camille Saint-Saëns (1835–1921) je bil francoski skladatelj, pianist, organist in dirigent, eden vodilnih predstavnikov francoske romantične glasbe. Njegova dela za violino poleg tehnične igre in virtuoznosti omogočajo čustveno izražanje. Saint-Saëns je znan po elegantni melodiki, jasni strukturi in briljantni orkestraciji, kar violinistu omogoča, da lahko pokaže tako virtuoznost kot subtilno liričnost.
Introdukcija in Rondo capriccioso v a-molu, op. 28, je delo za violino in orkester, ki ga je Camille Saint-Saëns napisal leta 1863. Skladba je bila posvečena virtuoznemu violinistu Pablu de Sarasateju, ki je delo tudi premierno izvajal, skladatelj pa je delo tudi dirigiral. Počasna Introdukcija (Andante malincolico) se postopoma oživi in se zaključi s kratko kadenco, ki odpira Rondo (Allegro ma non troppo). Tema, ki jo predstavi violina, ima izrazit španski pridih in vključuje velike skoke ter briljantne arpeggije. Sledi kontrastna lirična tema (con morbidezza). Violina po zadnjem rondoju preide iz kratke kadence z akordi v briljantno kodo, ki je zasnovana za razkazovanje virtuoznosti violinske igre.
