Œuvres pour violon solo

Description

Henry Vieuxtemps was a violin prodigy who became a towering figure in the line of composer-violinists stretching from Viotti to Ysaÿe, and whose playing led Schumann to say that he “keeps us within a kind of magic circle.” Influenced in part by Paganini, Vieuxtemps’s solo pieces demand the full arsenal of virtuoso techniques. The Etudes, Op. 48 include a piece subtitled “Torment,” while the Six Morceaux are, with their polyphonic style, a tribute to J. S. Bach.
