Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E min Op 64

For the first time this celebrated concerto appears in a source-critical edition. Ullrich Scheideler depicts how the work evolved, describes its sources, and comments on the musical text. The well-known violinist Igor Ozim has marked up Mendelssohn’s approved violin part, adding fingering and bowing marks as an aid to performers. He also supplied a separate commentary showing that Mendelssohn’s autograph already contains useful suggestions for shaping the solo part. The piano reduction lies well under the fingers while remaining as faithful as possible to the original text.
