Saint-Saëns-Bizet - Introduction and rondo capriccioso for violin and piano (VALENTINE'S DAY FINALE)

Показать описание
The Introduction and Rondo capriccioso, Op. 28 (1863), is one of Saint-Saëns' few genuine showpieces. It was composed for his friend, the virtuoso violinist Pablo de Sarasate (1844-1908), for whom he had already written the Violin Concerto in A major, Op. 28 (1859), and for whom he would eventually create the Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61 (1880). Whereas the Op. 28 Violin Concerto was written when the violinist was only 15 years of age, the Introduction and Rondo capriccioso is deliberately challenging -- a testimony to the mature master's technique. Sarasate's frequent programming of the work did a great deal for its popularity in the years after its publication (1870); its appeal was wide enough, in fact, that both George Bizet and Claude Debussy made arrangements of it -- the former for violin and piano, and the latter for piano, four hands.

As one would expect from the title, the Introduction and Rondo capriccioso begins with a slow section, marked Andante malinconico and characterized by a plaintive falling leap and rising arpeggio. Becoming gradually more animated, the introduction culminates in a scintillating mini-cadenza that leads into the Rondo proper (Allegro ma non troppo). When the violin enters, it states a theme that has a Spanish flavor, stemming from syncopation and chromatic inflections. The melody spins out into wild arpeggios and gigantic leaps before the orchestra begins a bridge to the contrasting theme, marked con morbidezza. This lyric melody is especially entrancing because it is in 2/4 time, played simultaneously with the continuing 6/8 time of the orchestra. The Rondo theme returns quietly in the solo violin before an orchestral outburst that is a reprise of the earlier bridge passage. The oboe takes the final statement of the rondo theme, which becomes fragmented and developed until the beginning of the brilliant coda, which is mainly a showcase for Sarasate's technical ability.

*ONCE AGAIN, SOME CHANNEL ANNOUNCEMENTS:*

1) Yehey, finally, the Saint Valentine's Day tribute is officially closed, and so, before we go, I would like to say a very big "thank you!" for staying with me, patiently waiting for new, wonderful uploads. Like I said, loving all of you, my dear ladies and gentlemen, doesn't stop on February 14 -- it's all-year round. Now, I'm gonna take a break as I prepare myself for the next tributes to come next month, so stay tuned again for me, please, OK? :)


3) ...And trust me, this video is not a channel popularity trap for a lot of anime fans here to swarm the comments page with -- gah, who am I joking. To be honest, I actually haven't even got the slightest interest to listen to this piece before until then, which I may regret. But my point is, no matter where you or I or he or she heard it from, let's leave it to each his or her own, because, in the end, we're all here to appreciate the music just the same, so what's the point of fighting? There, that's my personal opinion on such, so if you're going to present me an argument around this, I'll make sure that I will hear you out, understand you, and respect your opinion, but not always provide you a rebuttal. Some things for sure -- I'm not gonna regret putting this video up. I'm not gonna disable the comments for this -- or any vid, either. I may not be good at defending my own judgement or making sense out of some of the things that I say, but I'll never be rude enough to silence all of you and not hear you out with whatever you want to say to me. You're welcome. *mwah*

4) Out of all the uploads I did for the Saint Valentine's Day tribute, which one did you like the best? And why?

5) Any random comments, suggestions, opinions, questions, or video requests? Feel more than free to leave a comment or give me a PM. :D

Wow, the accompanist and the violinist is in sync. It is what Saint Saens intended. Good job to the musicians

This is perhaps my favourite piece for violin and orchestra (along with the Sibelius concerto and the Bruch in g minor). What beauty! What understanding of the instrument!

생상스는 참으로 생기있고 발랄하며
아름답습니다
아마도 프랑스 작곡가 중에서도
선률적이고 독일의 전통음악에 가까운
적곡가가 아닌가 생가합니다
이 서주와 론도 카프리오쏘는 소픔이지만
아름답고 귀여우며 바이올린과 피아노의
조화가 참으로 잘 어울리는
매력있는 곡입니다

feels more dramatic and less articulate. Probably the instruments used to record it. But like, thank you for blessing this world.

Has anyone the fingering for the string crossing bow bouncing arpeggios? (similar to paganini caprice 1)
