Eugène Ysaÿe - Op.12 Poème élégiaque for violin and orchestra (1893/1902-3) (Score, Analysis)

Eugène Ysaÿe was a Belgian virtuoso violinist, composer, and conductor. He was regarded as "The King of the Violin", or, as Nathan Milstein put it, the "tsar". As a self-taught composer, he produced several important works, mainly the Poèmes for various instruments (of which Op.12 Poème élégiaque is the most famous, and it influenced Chausson to write his Poème), and 6 Sonatas for Solo Violin. From the beginning of his career, Ysaÿe had been interested in compositions, which can be revealed in the early virtuosic pieces. However, he wanted to write a more mature and developed piece, which resulted in the creation of 9 poemes. The first of those was inspired by Romeo and Juliet, and was composed in 1892-1896, and orchestrated in 1902-4. It was dedicated to Gabriel Fauré, and it influenced Chausson’s Poeme greatly (it is said that Ysaye proofread and modified the Chausson Poeme’s Violin part, and in many places of this piece, we can see similarities). Also, due to his decline in health, Ysaye tasked his students for premiere. It was premiered on 21 February 1894 by Mathieu Crickboom and Louisa Merck in Salle Ravenstein. It is in a late romantic style reminiscent of Wagner, Fauré, Franck, and more. It is an interesting listen with advanced harmony and texture. I’m personally very fond of this piece, though I prefer the violin + piano version. This piece is scored for violin and orchestra (2 flutes, 3 oboes (1, 2 doubling cor anglais), 3 clarinets (1, 2 doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoon, 4 horns, 2 trumpets (+ 1 piccolo trumpet), 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, 2 percussions, harp, and strings). An interesting aspect of the violin part is the scordatura of tuning the G string to F. (0:00) The piece is in 3 parts, which can be described as A-B-C (A+B). This features a very lyrical theme from the solo violin in D minor, which gains more and more momentum, until a climax at (1:48). It is said that this section is a setting for the moment after Romeo and Juliet’s death. (3:51) The second section in Bb minor is titled Funeral scene, and is in a very sustained manner. Using the scordatura G string, the violin plays a settled lament, which becomes more and more complex with the interplay between the soloist and orchestra, which leads to the climax at (8:16). (9:22) The final section is the recapitulation, except that both themes are present. Like the beginning, this is settled and lyrical, but leads to a similar climax (11:36) (13:31) The quasi-coda part has sublime trills and settled tone, with which the piece concludes, in a still and desolate scene (14:18). P.S. Henle lists this piece as “5” (medium difficulty). WTF? I mean, it is a slow piece with many “seemingly fancy” passages, but it is not an intermediate difficulty! Ok. Perhaps whoever decided on that difficulty had a different sense of difficulty than I am (I struggle with octaves, but not on arpeggios and double+ stops. Perhaps the person who determined the difficulty does not struggle too much on octaves).
