Wieniawski Polonaise No. 2 Op 21 for Violin and Orchestra

Wieniawski: Polonaise brillante No. 2 in A major, Op. 21 (New Edition, Violin and Orchestra)

Wieniawski composed the Polonaise brillante No. 2 for violin and full orchestra from the outset — the orchestral writing is his own, and it shows. The wind and brass textures, the interplay between soloist and ensemble, the rhythmic drive of the Polonaise: these are things Wieniawski built into the original score, and they come through fully only with the complete forces he had in mind.

This new edition presents that original score in a freshly engraved, clean text prepared for clarity and ease of use in rehearsal and performance.

At nine minutes, it works well as a concert opener, a first-half showpiece, or a bravura programme item.
