Sur Le Meme a Accord

Henri Dutilleux was born in Angers, France, in 1916. While still at school he began studying piano, harmony and counterpoint. After continuing his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, he became Director of Musical Productions at the French radio station ORTF from 1945-1963. This ten-minute Nocturne in one movement was first performed in London by Anne-Sophie Mutter. The demanding solo part has closely alternating virtuoso and lyrical passages. The orchestra accompanies and engages in a dialogue with the solo violin in a colourful and elegant manner that is typically French. The violin part in this edition contains bowings and fingerings by Anne-Sophie Mutter. 41 p.
