This publication is designed as a supplement to the first volume of the textbook 'The Merry Violin' (ED 7299). All of the pieces are suitable for beginners. Musically, however, the issue goes far beyond the content of the first year of teaching, so that the pieces are also ideal for repetition and practice. The pieces include a wide variety of musical ideas and styles, from Baroque to modern, from the shanty to the Japanese national anthem, from a simple song to the ideal audition piece.
