Dutilleux, Henri - Sur le même accord

Henri Dutilleux was born in Angers, France, in 1916. This ten-minute Nocturne in one movement was first performed in London by Anne-Sophie Mutter. The demanding solo part has closely alternating virtuoso and lyrical passages. The orchestra accompanies and engages in a dialogue with the solo violin in a colourful and elegant manner that is typically French. The violin part in this edition contains bowings and fingerings by Anne-Sophie Mutter.
