Sinding Suite im alten Stil Op 10 for Violin & String Orchestra

Sinding: Suite im alten Stil, Op. 10 (Arr. Violin and String Orchestra)

Sinding's Suite im alten Stil Op. 10 is a suite for violin in deliberate homage to an earlier era: the writing combines the warmth and lyricism of the Romantic tradition with the melodic clarity and contrapuntal elegance of Baroque and early Classical models. The "old style" of the title is real rather than decorative, and it gives the piece a distinctive character that sits apart from the standard Romantic concerto repertoire. This arrangement draws the accompaniment from the harmonic and expressive content of Sinding's original piano writing, set here for string orchestra.

At twelve minutes across its movements, it makes a substantial solo feature with a historical flavour that programmes well in a variety of contexts.

This suits professional and conservatoire recitals where something with a distinctive historical character is wanted outside the standard concerto canon. The suite's blend of Romantic warmth and Baroque-inspired writing gives it broad audience appeal, and it fits naturally in programmes alongside Bach, Telemann, or other Baroque and early Classical works. Sinding is a less frequently programmed composer in the UK, which makes this a stronger choice where programme distinction matters.
