All Rights Reserved. 4/15 Featured Offerings An extraordinary violin by ANTONIO STRADIVARI Cremona, 1728 “Thunis” It is our great privilege to offer the “Thunis” Antonio Stradivari violin of 1728. Original in all its parts and documented in several of the most prominent publica- tions on Stradivari, the “Thunis” is one of the more tonally dynamic Stradivari violins our firm has encoun- tered. The violin dates from a fascinating and transi- tional moment for Cremona’s glorious violin-making history. By 1728, the octogenarian Stradivari had achieved great wealth and commercial success. Prior Cremonese dynasties including those of the Amati and Ruggeri families had come to a close and the careers of two of Stradivari’s most illustrious contemporaries, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù and Carlo Bergonzi, were ascending. The Stradivari workshop was undoubtedly the most prolific of the decade within Cremona. While it is well known that the preceding decade of Stradivari’s work is often associated with some of the most beloved soloists’ instruments, there are several other periods that have produced tonally superior examples which have been highly sought after by the world’s great artists. The brief window of 1727 to 1728 from which the “Thunis” dates is one of those periods, with Stradivari producing violins that were to become the concert instruments of transcendent artists includ- ing Nicolò Paganini, Arthur Grumiaux, Zino Francescatti, and Leonidas Kavakos. The “Thunis” is a bold and handsome example that has elicited astonishing praise from some of today’s most demanding soloists. For the discerning collector, the “Thunis” offers the opportunity to own one of the great masterworks of Antonio Stradivari’s final decade. We welcome your serious inquiry.

  • PROGRAM NOTES: “Violin Concerto”
    PROGRAM NOTES: “Violin Concerto” I believe that one of the most rewarding aspects of life is exploring and discovering the magic and mysteries held within our universe. For a composer this thrill often takes place in the writing of a concerto…it is the exploration of an instrument’s world, a journey of the imagination, confronting and stretching an instrument’s limits, and discovering a particular performer’s gifts. The first movement of this concerto, written for the violinist, Hilary Hahn, carries a somewhat enigmatic title of “1726”. This number represents an important aspect of such a journey of discovery, for both the composer and the soloist. 1726 happens to be the street address of The Curtis Institute of Music, where I first met Hilary as a student in my 20th Century Music Class. An exceptional student, Hilary devoured the information in the class and was always open to exploring and discovering new musical languages and styles. As Curtis was also a primary training ground for me as a young composer, it seemed an appropriate tribute. To tie into this title, I make extensive use the intervals of unisons, 7ths, and 2nds, throughout this movement. The excitement of the first movement’s intensity certainly deserves the calm and pensive relaxation of the 2nd movement. This title, “Chaconni”, comes from the word “chaconne”. A chaconne is a chord progression that repeats throughout a section of music. In this particular case, there are several chaconnes, which create the stage for a dialog between the soloist and various members of the orchestra. The beauty of the violin’s tone and the artist’s gifts are on display here.
