Sevcik, Op. 22 Ernst Hungarian Airs: Violin Part with Piano Accompaniment and Analytical Exercises

(LKM Music). Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst was the most famous violinist in the world at the time of Paganini's death. As a composer, he is chiefly known for his virtuoso pieces such as these "Hungarian Airs." His music was in the standard repertoire into the early part of the 20th Century but was forgotten for many decades. With the advent of the CD, Ernst's compositions have been recorded and have begun re-emerging into the standard repertory. This edition unites a critical urtext violin part by Stephen Shipps with the piano score and Otakar Sevcik's exercises specific to this important virtuoso work.
