A beautiful melody (and lovely accompaniment ) to help develop a singing tone and with the potential to introduce speed changes (ritenuto) and a wide dynamic range. Requires some use of ‘low’ 2nd finger. Would suit a pupil who is developing fast musically. Also published by Faber in First Repertoire for Violin.
This Fantasia provides opportunities to learn about accidentals and the swift movement of the same finger. G major arpeggios and dominant 7ths feature in this piece.
A fun arrangement of this popular tune featuring some syncopation and chromaticism.
The book has an easy violin accompaniment whilst piano accompaniment and an audio backing track are also available.
Highly demanding show pieces, especially if played fast, with plenty of double stops, shifting and advanced bow techniques. Each Caprice is about 5 mins long.
This is a wonderful arrangement of the slow movement of Dvorak’s Symphony No.9 ‘From the New World’. The parts are equally challenging and the arrangement is beautifully crafted.
