A terrific collection of technical and dynamic studies to aid the development of Violin polyophonics and ornamentation. Ernst was a talented and virtuoso Violinst and a contemporary of Paganini and these studies demonstrate his great ability despite the lack of a distinct artistic personality. This collection udies for Violin also includes a transcription of Franz Schuberts Erlkonig Op. 26

für Violine und Klavier-A collection of 19 Preludes for Violin with Piano accompaniment by Russian-born composer Dmitri Shostakovich. After an initial period of writing avant-garde works Shostakovich wrote primarily in the Romantic idiom drawing on the influence of Mahler however he still combined atonality and at times tone rows.
