"3 Intermezzi, Op.13" is a musical composition in three movements For
Pianoforte and Violin, composed by Charles V. Stanford. It was first
performed in Cambridge, England in the December of 1897 and published
shortly afterwards. This volume contains the complete sheet music
thereof, clearly presented in its original format for the enjoyment of
musicians and collectors. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924)
was an Irish composer, conductor, and teacher of music. He was educated
at the University of Cambridge and continued his studies in Berlin and
Leipzig. He was a very influential composer, responsible for making
Cambridge University Musical Society an internationally-acclaimed
organisation. Stanford was also a profuse composer, producing a large
corpus of work in many genres; however, he is perhaps best remembered
for his Anglican choral works for church performance. His music
eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of
his former pupils in the in the 20th century. Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing
this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially commissioned new introduction on the history of musical
notation.
