Product Description

Edmund Severn, born in 1862, was a distinguished American violinist and composer. Renowned for his exceptional talent, he studied under the guidance of acclaimed musicians like Emanuel Wirth, Franz Milcke and  Listemann Bernhard. His prowess on the violin garnered widespread admiration, leading him to perform globally, captivating audiences with his emotive and technically brilliant renditions. Severn's legacy extends beyond his performances; his compositions, notably the "Polish Dance"  remain cherished pieces in the violin repertoire, showcasing his virtuosity. His contributions as a performer, composer, and educator left an indelible mark on the world of classical music.

Polish Dance

Severn's most renowned creation, the "Polish Dance," embodies the spirited essence of the mazurka style. This composition serves as an enchanting gateway into the distinct local flavors of the dance form. Laden with numerous ritardandos and rubatos, it infuses a rhythmic richness, while wide leaps, double stops, and intricate three-note chords embellish its delightful melodies and harmonies. The expressive dynamics employed throughout infuse this "Polish Dance" with the vital energy necessary to bring its vivacious character to life.

Here is an arrangement for violin and string orchestra.

The PDF file contains the score and instrumental parts.
