Aria Donn Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Not an original composition, but a transcription. I recently came across a rare piano piece by H.W. Ernst that I decided to transcribe for violin and piano. I figure if the composer is H.W. Ernst, it deserves to be heard on the violin.

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Hello @Aria Donn, I really love this transcription! I listen to the original work in @SisselOnline’s channel and I love both the original and your transcription. You successfully transcribe the original piano writing to a very idiomatic violin writing, aided by your skilfully written string writing and knowledge, for example the slurs and the double and triple stopping which I admire! The violin brings out the beauty of the melody! I think I can think of it’s maybe to add another line for the left hand since it’s mostly a static note, since the original left hand is put to the right hand and the right hand put to the violin. Also your playing is great and very expressive! I enjoy it every much! Thx for sharing! Henry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Thank you, my main goal was to keep the transcription as faithful to the original score as possible, no extra notes as long as I didn't feel they were texturally necessary. Indeed sometimes the piano would have thinned out noticeably by transferring the melody to the violin in a way that is masked by the homogenous texture of the original, so only in those cases did I fill in extra notes. I only departed from the score in this way 4 times I believe, see if you can find the spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestrowick Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Wonderfully transcribed and executed. My only "typesetting" critique is please put rehearsal numbers on your music. Makes rehearsing a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do for longer pieces, but here I just don't think it's particularly necessary given the brevity of the piece and the high number of natural landmarks (key changes, repeat signs).
