20 Short Recital and Study Pieces for the Intermediate Player-A curious child climbs up to the attic and discovers a jumble of boxes trunks old clothes and dusty junk. There a black leather case catches her eye. She pries it open and finds inside an old Violin - her grandmother's from high school. Sitting on the floor she tunes the strings and tightens the bow. As she draws the bow across the strings the Violin becomes alive with music. To her delight she discovers more and more treasures in the attic. Staccato rain plays on the roof just above where she looks through her trove of riches playing a new melody with each discovery...John Walker has composed a new series of short recital and study pieces set in amagical world. Specially designed for the intermediate-level musician these 20 works evoke the spirit of musical discovery while helping students learn new phrasing fingerings and articulations. A welcome addition to every student's library this musical adventure will both teach and entertain.
