Philippe unearthed the nearly-completed manuscript in the library of the Brussels Conservatoire, and polished off the final movement in the most Ysaye-esque manner possible. Philippe's penchant for intuitive programming I brought to bear on Fiddler's Blues, combining two Ysaye works- including another premiere, with a pair of folksy, Bohemian-flavored works by George Enescu, another virtuoso violinist\/composer who emigrated from his native Romania and like Ysaye settled in Paris. Enescu was a classmate of Maurice Ravel whose Berceuse sur le nom de Gabriel Faure is an affectionate nod to their teacher at the Paris Conservatoire, whilst his azure-tinged Violin Sonata influences the album's title. Ravel's slightly older contemporary Claude Debussy befriended Ysaye. Whereas Ysaye soared writing works for solo violin, Debussy wrote none. Suggesting how such a work may have sounded, Philippe contributes his own arrangement for solo violin of Debussy's enduring piece Claire de lune.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Debussy \/ Graffin \/ Desert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32423316291655,"sku":"38315848","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3855435_123545e0-0599-4ad4-9997-b3218ae27482.jpg?v=1747802258","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/debussy-graffin-desert-fiddlers-blues","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
