Introduktion und Variationen D802. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Originally for flute and piano, Schubert's reworking of 'Trockne Blumen' - the eighteenth song in his song cycle Die schöne Müllerin - is here adapted for the violin. It was quite common in Schubert's own time for composers to write works 'for flute or violin' and in keeping with this practice, violinist Jacqueline Ross has prepared this edition, along with notes on the musical background and critical commentary on the violin editing. Her research into 18th and early 19th century performance practice has been widely recognised and has influenced her recordings of baroque and classical repertoire. This includes the Naxos release of the complete works of Schubert, recorded on historical instruments, in which this adaptation of 'Trockne Blumen' is featured. Violinists will welcome this adaptation intended primarily for performers, as a vibrant and substantial addition to the repertoire. o Originally for flute and piano, Schubert's reworking of 'Trockne Blumen', the eighteenth song in his song cycle 'Die schöne Müllerin', is here adapted for the violin by Jacqueline Ross o Notes on the musical background and critical commentary on the violin editing are included o A vibrant and substantial addition to the repertoire/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

In his preface the author reminds the reader that this is not a book for the absolute beginner. Even the experienced player may not 'get it' on first reading a given tune but 'You can expect to enjoy the process oflearning...[and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune of making it your own.' This is the teacher/student pact in effect throughout this marvellous book written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur.Although no classical Violin experience is needed you will need to know how to hold the Fiddle and bow and be able to play at least simple tunes in the first position.Having the ability to read music will enable you tofollow the bowing patterns and left-hand techniques which the author feels are crucial in grasping the playing style. Includes online audio download files featuring solo Fiddle. The teaching recording plays the first tunes slowly but by the end the correct speed is played. This stereo recording contains 77 of the 80 songs from the book.

Music of Spain and South America for Violin by Allan Alexander contains 44 pieces which can be played solo or with a chord instrument. This great collection includes music from the Spain and South America. Most of the pieces have been extended with variations which make the tunes a more suitable length for performances and are a lot of fun for the violinist to play. Every tune in the book is included on the digitally mastered CD. Though the tunes are very effective as solo material Allan chose to record them with violinist Elena Rojas. Elena has given a skillful delightful performance of the music and Allan has rendered the chords artfully. The result is a reallylovely CD; listening will be a pleasure. For the player who is new to music of Spain and South America the recording will give insights into the melodies and it will allow the violinist who has no access to a chord instrument to hear and play along with the guitar as the violin part can be turned down by fading one channel. For those who know some of these wonderful tunes it will be a joy to have the music and hear them played by two musicians who obviously love to play this music together. The CD which comes with the book has all 44 of the tunes in the same order in which they appear in the book. The CD will give you insights into the music and it will be enjoyable to listen to on its own merit. For additional information be sure to check out Allan's web site.

String Quartet No.1 (White Man Sleeps) was written for the Kronos Quartet and was first performed by them in July 1986 London.The title?White Man Sleeps? comes from a moment in nyanga Panpipe music where the performers leave off playing their loud pipes for a few cycles and dance only to the sound of their ankle rattles to let the whitelandowner sleep for a minute or two.'In composing this piece I drew from the following sources: the first movement owes something to the style of Basotho concertina music; the second and fourth movements are drawnfrom traditional Nyungwe music played by Makina Chirenje and his Nyanga panpipe group at Nsava Tete Mozambique recorded and transcribed by Andrew Tracey (to be found in an article entitled ?The nyanga Panpipe dance? in AfricanMusic Vol.5 No.1 (1971); the third movement derives from the San bow music (recorded by Tony Traill of the University of Witwatersrand) and from Basotho lesiba music transcribed by myself; in the fifth movement I added my owninvented folklore. My approach to the original music was anything but purist it is played in Western tuning filtered slowed down by a few ?time-octaves? cast into non-African metres (like the 13-beat pattern of the first
