for the advanced violinist with piano accompaniment-Studies can be boring - you usually play them alone and the lack of rhythm and harmony can be dispiriting. This very practical collection contains the best studies written throughout two centuries of Violin education. The studies - all in the first position - have been provided with completely new Piano accompaniments which give a harmonic and rhythmic helping hand so that practicing becomes more instructive and more fun. Each edition within this concept features two CDs. For each study there are three tracks on the CDs: a demo version a play-along version in normal tempo and one in a slower study tempo. The following technical skills are included inthe Selected Studies programme: Book 3: For the right hand: chord playing ricochet détaché string shifts staccato legato spiccato octave playing cantilena; For the left hand: extended position playing extensions varied double stops octave playing chord playong position playing on the G string pizzicato flageolets trills velocity chromaticism ornaments.
