Tunes represent the styles of Stéphane Grappelli, Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith, Eddie South, Mark O'Connor, Benny Thomasson, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Darol Anger.

Edizione critica di Italo Vescovo-Paganini’s Sonata a violino solo (M.S. 6) composed during his Lucca period (1805-1809) forms part of a series of music written for solo violin that has failed to attract the attention of both performers and scholars interested in Genoa’sfamous violinist. This work – published several times in the nineteenth century (especially outside Italy with various titles: Duetto per un violino solo Duo Merveille Meraviglia di Paganini word etc.) – is divided into twomovements (Adagio – Allegro molto). Paganini used a two-staff system of musical notation to produce two distinct levels of sound as well as graphically: pizzicato on the lower line arco on the upper. It is a short pleasing piece containing all the typical characteristics one expects from Paganini: melody and instrumental virtuosity.This critical edition based on the autograph kept at the Biblioteca Casanatense in Rome as part of a collection of the most important editions from the 1800s and 1900s is intended to provide scholars and performers a philologically reliable textthat revives the original version.

This book explains and shows in detail the various techniques used by fiddle players in creating a traditional style of playing. All the information is presented in the context of the music itself with numerous transcribed and recorded examples. It is aimed not only at the beginner but also the fiddle-player (and indeed violinist) with some knowledge and experience who wishes to learn more. For those unable to read music a chapter on notation is included. Particular emphasis is given to bowing and ornamentation with individual chapters devoted to Jigs Slides Plokas Hornpipes Airs and Reels. The book also attemptes to convey something of the excitement felt inplaying music which has a large degree of improvisation albeit within certain bounds. The demonstration CD which features a large selection of the transcribed tunes and ornaments performed by Cranitch is an invaluable aid to learning as it allows the listener to hear how the music and ornamentation should sound.
