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.

Viktor Kosenko (1896-1938) was a Soviet Ukrainian pianist and composer. He wrote mainly for his two instruments, the piano and the violin, including concerti for both instruments. In the early 1930s, sensing a void in the educational offerings for children, Kosenko began to write beautiful, yet simple tunes for his piano students. The arranger fond these works suitable for the violin (there is a viola version available as well). Melody, Olden Dance, Scherzino and March all take abut six minutes to perform and are excellent recital works for young violinists. All four are playable in first position in friendly keys like A Minor, G Major, D Minor and D Major.
