Students and teachers alike love this piece!
A good piece for introducing the harmonic minor scale, as well as easy double stopping. Lively and rhythmical in style.
This dance is really full of energy, in 3/8, with lots of ringing chords. The C minor middle section is contrasting and there is lots of useful 5th position work within a lovely tune. A violin arrangement by Mathieu Crickboom is included in this publication.
A piece with a good jazz feel, swung quavers and languid phrasing. There is lots of shifting, chromatic movement and some thumb position. There are pizzicato chords and double stops. It merits work with the piano for ensemble.
This suite is in three movements, Chaconne, Intermezzo and March. It is an arrangement of Holst’s first suite for military band. On one occasion the first part goes up to 8th position and there is quite a bit of 5th position. Running passages get passed between the parts, there are semiquaver passages involving string crossing, double stops and many contrasting articulations to watch our for.
