From the collection of 2 Lieder, op. 53 (ED 24000), probably written in the early 1920s and compiled later, the composer selected a title that was presumably particularly close to her heart: Die Nachtigall (The Nightingale). She arranged the solo Lied as a chamber music version and added a flute part by dividing the right hand part of the piano and assigning part of it to the wind instrument. The witty style of this gem with its onomatopoeic effects is sure to have an impact on the audience.

Tomaso Antonio Vitali (1663-1745) became violinist of the d'Este Court Orchestra in Modena at the young age of twelve. As a composer he is mostly remembered as the creator of the Chaconne for violin and continuo. Since the composer's autograph was lost, the work was first published and edited by Ferdinand David from a copyist manuscript in 1867. The Chaconne has also been arranged for violin and organ, violin and string quartet and orchestra with solo violin. It has become an integral part of violin recital programs, known as an ideal opening work. This unique and practical performance edition includes bowings and fingerings by Endre Grant, one ofJascha Heifetz' most acclaimed protégés.

The word THAKLA in Arabic refers to a mother's grief over the loss of her child. The work was written in the summer of 2024 as a response to the conflict in Israel, explicitly in recognition of the thousands of children that had been killed at that point. “Music cannot stop violence, but music can reach the listener's heart and remind us of our humanity. When we cannot see all children in the world as our own, we are lost.” - Bruce Adolphe.

Johan Halvorsen's virtuoso “Passacaglia” for violin and viola, freely adapted after Handel, is an indispensable encore in the concert halls. The Norwegian composer, conductor and violinist wrote this duo in 1893. In the Henle Urtext it appears together with its sibling work, the “Sarabande con Variazioni” from 1898, another bravura piece on a theme by Handel. The fingerings and bowings in the two performance scores of the Urtext edition come “from a single source”, from violin and viola virtuoso Henning Kraggerud. Halvorsen's original markings are available in the Henle Library app. A knowledgeable preface by Halvorsen expert Øyvin Dybsand rounds off the edition.
