'Three Scherzi for violin and piano follow closely the Minuet and Trio form used so often for lighter movements in eighteenth and early nineteenth century sonatas and symphonies. In each piece the Minuet isdivided into two sections and each section is repeated; similarly the Trio section is also divided into two repeated sections in which the music is generally more gently paced. After the Trio the minuet is played againimmediately this time without repeats. In these Scherzi I have chosen to use variants of the original of each section in most instances rather than make exact repetitions. The first Scherzo lasts approximately 3 minutes thesecond 6 minutes and the third 2 minutes. Part of my interest and purpose in writing these pieces was to use an identical but highly elastic form for three pieces of different durations. I was also intrigued by the form’shistorical development and evolution into the Scherzo and I hope this explains the atmosphere and style of the music.The material for each of the three pieces is different although the harmonic and rhythmic worlds ofeach one are similar and as a result they do form a complete work in three movements. However each of the three Scherzi may be played separately. These three pieces were written between September 2004 and August2007.'Brian Elias

Published in early 1806 Kreutzer?s ?40 Études ou Caprices? for Violin there are 42 today are the product of his years-long employment at the Conservatoire de Paris and are the most comprehensive collection of studies from his quill. Their systematic and complete reappraisal of essential Violin technique make them an indispensable tool of the trade for every serious student of the Violin (conservatory level). In the intervening two centuries numerous reprints by various publishers followed the Parisian first edition frequently adapted by famous soloists and teachers. Just a few years after the first edition Kreutzer published a completerevision of this standard work in which he exchanged or heavily altered etudes. This second version of the collection forms the basis for our Urtext edition which nevertheless presents the variants from the early edition as well. The virtuoso and sought-after Violin pedagogue Ingolf Turban acted as a consultant for this edition and furnished it with modern markings so that it provides an ideal foundation for contemporary Violin instruction.

Eta Cohen 's world famous Violin method broke new ground when it was first released. Providing an incremental approach to learning the instrument, it only introducing one concept at a time and reinforced each new concept with an accompanying exercise and highly enjoyable pieces. The careful organisation of the method meant that it was a great equaliser because any child could make good progress almost irrespective of talent. It was also based upon the principal that playing well brings intense satisfaction, whereas playing badly only results in frustration. The Eta Cohen Violin Method has produced music professionals who, today, occupy many prominent positions in the music profession, including renowned soloists, chamber musicians, orchestral performers (including several orchestral leaders) and teachers. This sixth edition has been completely revised and updated to make Eta's method available to yet another generation of aspiring violinists. Book 1 is a complete guide to everything the beginner violinist needs in order to develop a secure technique. It is packed full of fun and engaging pieces, with helpful photos to guide technical aspects of playing. It includes 4 beautifully recorded CDs containing backing track arrangements for students to play along with, plus demonstration tracks of all the pieces included in the book. 'It's truly the Delia Smith of Violin methods... the much-imitated, indispensible original' - James Murphy Director, Southbank Sinfonia / Violon

For more than a century, violinists have played jazz, swing, blues and similar improvisational styles. With its rich tone, considerable range, and bowed rhythms and phrasing, the violin offers a unique opportunity for a creative and personal statement as a musician. This book presents a broad sampling of the styles of major jazz violinists, from blues to bebop, from jug band to jazzgrass, from big-band swing to Texas swing. Tunes represent the styles of Stéphane Grappelli, Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith, Eddie South, Mark O'Connor, Benny Thomasson, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Darol Anger. Helpful jazz theory sections with exercises alternate with tunes that show how the theory works in practice. This book has two objectives: first, to present a broad, roughly chronological sampling of major jazz violinists and the styles associated with them, and secondly, to introduce the basics of jazz theory as applied to the violin. Whether consciously or intuitively, through critical listening or by practicing jazz patterns and exercises, the more knowledge of jazz you acquire, the better you will be able to think about the content of your playing without being bound by technical and theoretical aspects. This anthology was written to help provide that foundation. Interspersed with pragmatic jazz theory lessons, you'll find 28 original tunes in the style of various jazz violin luminaries. The book ends with an extensive discography of recommended jazz recordings with a violin focus. Mandolinists as well as other instrumentalists will find a wealth of useful information in this outstanding collection. Delightful broadcast-quality recordings of the repertoire are available online. Includes access to online audio. Written for intermediate to advanced violinists.
