Edition Schott
Alexis Weissenberg (1929–2012) numbers among the most prominent pianists of the 20th Century. That he was also a composer is less well known, though he wrote a whole series of works, notably for his own instrument, the piano (Piano Works, Schott ED 22923). His Romance for violin and piano may be considered something of a rarity. Musical child prodigy Alexis wrote this little Romantic piece in March 1943 in Jerusalem, where he and his mother had fled from Sofia following their internment as descendants of Jews. The Romance is a melancholy ‘Song Without Words’, simple and poignant in effect. This first edition is based on the original manuscript. Editorial changes have been marked in brackets.
