Frederick Delius

Suite for Violin and Orchestra

DCW 9
RT VII/1
DCE 28

Composer: Frederick Delius

This work remained unpublished and unperformed in Delius's lifetime, only brought to publication as part of the collected edition, although the existence of a separate violin part with bowings suggests a performance may have been contemplated (RT, 161). The manuscript is undated. While Philip Heseltine's date of 1888 is generally accepted, Threlfall suggests the work may have been completed in 1890-1 (RT.1986, 92).

Composition: Between 1888 and 1891.

Instrumentation:
Orchestra 2.2.2.2/4.2.3.1/timp./str.: 3 fl., 2 ob., 2 cl., 2 fg., 4 cor., 2 tr., 3 trb., tb., timp., str.
Soloist: vl.
