The William Walton edition is a collected edition of the works of one of England's finest and best-loved composers. Each work is newly edited and engraved, and checked against the composer's manuscript, previously published editions, and all other relevant material. The result is a definitive and fully practical edition, based on the form in which the composer ultimately wished it to be performed.

Shorter Orchestral Works I: William Walton Edition vol. 17

Lloyd-Jones, David

Walton wrote much of his Violin Concerto during a stay in Italy and completed the work in 1939, which was commissioned by Jascha Heifetz and premiered by him in Ohio later that year. The Cello Concerto was completed in 1956, the result of a commission from Gregor Piatigorsky, who premiered the work in 1957 at Symphony Hall, Boston. Walton regarded this work as the best of his three solo concertos.

Walton's Violin Sonata was commissioned by Yehudi Menuhin after a chance encounter in Lucerne, Switzerland in September 1947. The work was completed in 1949 and first performed by Menuhin and Louis Kentner that year. This edition is based on the score published in the Walton Edition Chamber Music volume.

Walton: Violin Sonata (Revised Edition) (William Walton Edition)

The Bear is an extravaganza in one act for three soloists and orchestra, commissioned by the Koussevitsky Foundation in 1965 and first performed at the Aldeburgh Festival in 1967. It is based on a short story of Chekhov, with a libretto by Paul Dehn. The action takes place in the drawing room of Madam Popova's house in the country in 1888. Popova, a pretty widow affectedly faithful to the memory of her late and, alas, promiscuous, husband is confronted by Smirnov, one of her husband's more boorish creditors. They quarrel to a point at which each aims a loaded pistol at the other, but neither can fire. They have both fallen helplessly in love. This new edition is based on a full assessment of all extant sources and takes account of Walton's various revisions. A new vocal score is also published on sale, and new orchestral material fully compatible with this score is available for hire.

Polly is the story of a horseshoe crab who discovers a sky full of stars on the night that she hatches, and wants to know more about what she sees. Not satisfied with the answers she gets from the other creatures of the sea, she sets out on her own to discover as much as she can. Her curiosity leads her to many amazing discoveries above the water, including the strange and enigmatic "two feet" that live there - but when one of those encounters leaves her with an unanswered question, her real journey of discovery begins. Polly is a story about self-discovery, the love of learning and exploration, and the quest for knowledge and wisdom. It's a gentle story told through the eyes of one of the world's most gentle and yet misunderstood creatures.
