''Poème'', Op. 25, is a work for violin and orchestra written by Ernest Chausson in 1896. It is a staple of the violinist's repertoire, has very often been recorded and performed, and is generally considered Chausson's best-known and most-loved composition. ==Background== ''Poème'' was written in response to a request from Eugène Ysaÿe for a violin concerto. Chausson felt unequal to the task of a concerto, writing to Ysaÿe: ''I hardly know where to begin with a concerto, which is a huge undertaking, the devil's own task. But I can cope with a shorter work. It will be in very free form with several passages in which the violin plays alone.''〔(Jessica Duchen: Love Triumphant? )〕 It was commenced in April 1896 and finished on 29 June,〔(Michael Steinberg, ''The Concerto: A Listener's Guide'' )〕〔(Classical Archives )〕 and was written while Chausson was holidaying in Florence, Italy.〔(Philadelphia Orchestra )〕 He wrote three different versions of ''Poème'': with orchestra; with piano accompaniment (later rewritten by other hands); and a recently discovered version for violin, string quartet and piano, a companion to his Concert in D for piano, violin and string quartet, Op. 21 (1892). The solo violin parts of these versions are identical except for one minor detail.〔 The work is notionally in the key of E-flat, and lasts about 16 minutes. It was dedicated to Ysaÿe, who gave its early performances. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poème (Chausson)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
