Swing-style music for violin lessons? A delightful idea in itself, but suitable literature is somewhat thin on the ground. This is where the Little Swingies collection comes in: sixteen new pieces by Joachim Johow—some full-spirited and passionate, others gentler in character—introduce the student step by step to playing in the swing style. In addition to the violin part, this edition includes an easy-to-play piano accompaniment: and on top of this, MP3 recordings of both demo performances and backing tracks are available online. Little Swingies will add new momentum to violin lessons and performances alike.

Swingmuziek voor de vioolles? Een prachtig idee, maar het materiaal daarvoor is dun gezaaid. Little Swingies biedt de oplossing: zestien nieuwe stukken van de hand van Joachim Johow sommige temperamentvol, andere rustiger van karakter laten de leerling stap voor stap kennismaken met het spelen in swingstijl. Naast de vioolpartijen bevat deze uitgave ook eenvoudige pianobegeleidingen: bovendien zijn de mp3-opnamen van zowel de meespeel- als begeleidingstracks online te downloaden. Little Swingies geeft vioollessen en toonmomenten een verfrissende nieuwe impuls.

Musik im Swing-Stil für den Geigenunterricht? An und für sich eine reizvolle Vorstellung, jedoch ist Spielliteratur, die dafür geeignet wäre, dünn gesät. Hier setzt die Sammlung Little Swingies an: Sechzehn neue Stücke von Joachim Johow mal temperamentvoll, mal eher sanft im Charakter führen die Schüler Schritt für Schritt in das Spiel im Swing-Stil heran. Die Ausgabe umfasst neben der Violinstimme auch eine gut spielbare Klavierbegleitung: zusätzlich stehen sowohl Demo- als auch Mitspielaufnahmen aller Stücke im MP3-Format online zur Verfügung. Little Swingies kann dem Geigenunterricht wie auch dem Vorspiel neue Impulse geben.

Du swing pour les cours de violon ? Cette idée est en elle-même séduisante, mais il existe peu de partitions adaptées. C’est pourquoi la collection Little Swingies vient combler un vide : seize nouvelles pièces par Joachim Johow certaines pleines de feu et d’entrain, d’autres plus sereines initient l’élève, pas pas, aux rythmes ternaires. Outre la partie violon, cette édition comprend un accompagnement piano facile : et, pour compléter le tout, des exemples d’interprétation et des pistes d’accompagnement sont disponibles en ligne sous forme de fichiers MP3. Little Swingies apportera un nouvel élan aux cours de violon tout comme aux auditions.

“Being Russian born I have a strong connection to the ballet scores of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Stravinsky, and as a result in theWild Swans, more than in any other work of mine, I allowed myself the freedom to roam through 200 years of musical genres, ranging from Hungarian Operetta through folk music and even including the influences of jazz and popular music,” says Elena Kats-Chernin. The full-length work, which premiered in Sydney in 2003, was written for choreographer Meryl Tankard after the two artists had already worked together for the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games, and became one of the composer's greatest successes. Many excerpts in various arrangements have a concert life of their own today - including the world-renowned Eliza Aria. Arranged by the composer in 2004 for violin and piano after the original orchestral version, the half-hour suite comprises ten characteristic movements: Green Leaf Prelude, Eliza Aria, Brothers, Wicked Witch (piano solo), Magic Spell Tango, Glow Worms, Darkness of the Forest, Eliza and the Prince, Mute Princess, Transformation.

Georges Bizet's opera Carmen had its first performance in Paris in 1875. In the audience was the 17-year-old Hungarian violin virtuoso and budding composer Jeno Hubay. After the performance Hubay started writing his Carmen Fantasy from memory. The following season for his debut recital in Paris, he included his newly created composition. It is a lyrical work of great beauty and brilliance. Hubay combined his career of a concertizing virtuoso, composer and violin pedagogue. At the Royal Conservatory in Brussels he became the successor of Vieuxtemps and Wieniawski. Later, Franz Liszt invited Hubay to lead the violin department in the newly created Budapest Music Academy. He created the world-renowned Hungarian school of violin playing. His student, Franz von Vecsey, recorded theCarmen Fantasy in 1904 at age 11! His other students included Joseph Szigeti, Zoltan Szekely, Sandor Vegh, Endre Gertler, Gyorgy Garay and many more. Hubay was a very active composer, creating over 120 works including operas, ballets, concertos, songs and instrumental compositions. Pablo de Sarasate wrote his Carmen Fantasy in 1882. It is a composition of drama and passion, written with his unparalleled brilliance for violin writing. This work has remained in the standard repertory, on programs of virtuoso soloists, as well as a required work for major competitions..
