The Symphonie espagnole for violin and orchestra, perhaps Lalo’s best-known composition, is found in the repertoire of violinists everywhere.

He wrote the work for his friend Pablo de Sarasate, who played it at his concerts and quickly made it known throughout Europe. This edition is the first to make use of Lalo’s autograph manuscripts.

作曲家について
Edouard Lalo
A French composer and violinist. Musically he felt drawn to German traditions, which is reflected in his compositions; but at the same time his works demonstrate predilections for rhythmic quirks and folkloric elements.

As befits this publishing house, the piano reduction and solo violin part are carefully edited with attention to detail and phrasing and fingering suggestions are idiomatic.
The Symphonie Espagnole … is one of four major orchestral works. … This edition is a reduction for piano and violin and is based on an autographed copy dated the same year as the original orchestral version.
Was die Ausgabe auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert macht, ist, daß die Fingersätze von Kurt Guntner auf sehr umsichtige Weise auf den heutigen Stand der Violintechnik gebracht wurden, wie sie sich seit Galamian & Co. weltweit durchgesetzt hat. Denn dieses Werk liegt so gut in der Hand, daß zumindest die ersten drei Sätze vom griffsicheren Liebhaber mit Genuß bewältigt werden können. Und den sollte man sich doch nicht entgehen lassen.
