Composers rework their own compositions and often those of others, whether as tribute or appropriation. The origin of a transformed piece may be the music for a song, a different instrument, or even from a ballet, opera or orchestral suite. A reworked piece may emerge from a composer’s reimagining of an earlier work. It also may be pragmatically prompted by reputational or financial pressures to produce new work for the paying public. Transforming favourite pieces has long been a musical pastime, with the reworked piece intended for the salon or for a new lease of life on the concert stage.</p><p dir="ltr">The recreated pieces selected for violin and piano for this CD were both written and arranged for this combination by Brahms, Schumann, Liszt and Stravinsky.</p><p dir="ltr">PROGRAM</p><p dir="ltr">Stravinsky - Gavotte and two Variations from “After themes, fragments and pieces by Pergolesi”</p><p dir="ltr">Franz Liszt - Romance oubliée, S132/R467b</p><p dir="ltr">Schumann - Three Fantasy Pieces, Op.73</p><p dir="ltr">Schumann/Auer - Vogel als Prophet (Bird as Prophet) from Waldszenen op. 82</p><p dir="ltr">Franz Liszt - Die Zelle in Nonnenwerth</p><p dir="ltr">Brahms – Sonata for Violin and Piano in E-flat, Op.120, No.2</p><p dir="ltr">Stravinsky – Chanson Russe</p><p dir="ltr">Stravinsky - Danse Russe</p><p dir="ltr"><a href="​https://open.spotify.com/album/4BkjzzvjrCt7q2hliiPd3D" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">​https://open.spotify.com/album/4BkjzzvjrCt7q2hliiPd3D</a></p><p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.annamcmichael.com/in-other-words" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.annamcmichael.com/in-other-words</a></p><p dir="ltr"><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/in-other-words/1540028992" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://music.apple.com/us/album/in-other-words/1540028992</a></p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr"><b>Tall Poppies CD - TP254</b></p><p><br></p>
