Mélodie Tchaikovsky composed Souvenir dun lieu cher Op. 42 in 1878 for Violin and Piano. Mélodie is the third of three movements of this lovely work. Later, in 1884 the movements were published separately and eventually Glazunov arranged the three movements for Violin and orchestra. The music is poetic, expressive, joyous and refreshing with a wink or two. Professor Mixdorf has beautifully arranged this 3-minute work for advanced performers.
