While studying the issues of the old German music journal "Neue Zeitschrift für Musik" I came across a note in the 1934 issue on page 1182. There it says (in my translated words):
"Albert Roussel is busy with composing his fourth symphony and his violin concerto."
Violin concerto? Never heard of that. I tried to find out more if that is maybe a work Roussel started to compose but never finished, or while composing it changed from violin concerto to the cello (the concertino for cello dates from 1936). Is it it maybe just mistyping?
Unfortunately I could not find that easy answers to my question but have the hope that someone here is more familiar with Rouseel and his works and can answer my question?
Best,
Tobias
I hope someone can help you, Tobias.
This is intriguing. Not an expert but will see if I can find out anything...
Anyone have a copy of " Nicole Labelle.- Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre d'Albert Roussel, Liège, 1992"?
Thanks that you will have a look on that! I am too curious about what you will come up with.
Best,
Tobias
