Flausino Vale (Barbacena, 1894; Belo Horizonte, 1954), known as the "Brazilian Paganini" by Villa-Lobos, wrote a set of characteristic and concertante preludes for solo violin. These short pieces show the Brazilian musical landscape and explore important violin techniques rarely shown on a basic level. This book presents a bigger set of scores including missing pieces in previous catalogues and alternate versions for 3 preludes, which the composer intended to publish. There is a suggestion for studying the preludes in a progressive order. This edition aims to print original bowings, fingerings and instructions which retain precious teachings of this remarkable teacher. Editor?s suggestions and explanations are written in Portuguese and English. As a homage to Flausino Vale, there are two Flausinian preludes composed by Dr Zoltan Paulinyi for violin, along with their transcriptions for viola.

And the songs of the turtledove and goldfinch are ardent.

The gentle breezes sigh.
CHANGING WINDS.
but the north wind sudddenly
appears and strats to quarrel.

A frightened shephered weeps in fear and bemoans his fate.

The fierce lightning and terrible thunder makes the shepherd unable to rest his weary body.

The shepherd is right to be afraid. The sky flashes and the thunder is awesome.
Grain and fruit are destroyed by the storm.
