Par SPOHR LOUIS. The selection of 36 violin duos from Louis Spohr's famous Violinschule, compiled with commentary by Kolja Lessing, meets two objectives: First of all, it is an extraordinarily delightful, musically-enriched addition to the violin-duo repertoire - secondly, it incorporates the easiest, no less original duos into the lessons for beginners. / Date parution : 2019-10-18/ Répertoire / 2 Violons

Par NEUMANN EVA-MARIA. Every year, an important question never fails to arise during violin lessons: can beginners already take part in the performance of Christmas carols? Now the answer is: Yes, they can! ? thanks to the 35 pieces in ?Weihnacht voller Lichterglanz? (The Bright Lights of Christmas). Eva-Maria Neumann, the author of the well-known ?Geigenschule? (Violin Method) has arranged not only popular German carols, but also pieces from the Nordic countries, Russia, France, Spain and South America as well, and included free arrangements of instrumental Christmas music (Manfredini, Corelli, Haydn) in her collection. The book is arranged according to types of fingering in the first two parts. Sixteen carols are particularly well-suited to beginners who have only just begun learning their instrument. Their accompanying part is to be played only on open strings. Furthermore, all pieces have at least one part in the first position. Thus all violinists can contribute to a memorable Christmas of shared music-making./ Méthode / 2 ou 3 Violons
