Par COHEN MARY. Violinists, play your way across Europe, with a lively Italian Tarantella and Saltarello, perky Polish Polka and wistful Viennese Waltz.Then it?s off to sunny Cuba where the Rumba has a great rhythmic twist, and America, where Ragtime is cool and sophisticated ? but you can really party at a Hoedown! Dance Duets can be enjoyed by violinists of about grade 2?3 upwards. It is excellent concert material, and offers a wide range of techniques including (easy) fast finger work, extensive pizzicato, leggiero bowing, long legato lines, double stopping ? and even the occasional chance to stamp! Both violin parts are of equal interest, so grab a friend and get duetting! / Ensemble Music, Instrumental Music / Recueil / 2 Violons

Klezmer Miniatures has been compiled for young musicians who, by playing an instrument, would like to become acquainted with the musically varied world of Klezmer. The series comprises two duos, four trios and two quartets, which can be performed with different combinations of instruments - violin, clarinet, flute, cello, double bass, bass guitar and trumpet. The composer, Ferenc Jávori, is a major figure of world music in Europe and is a prolific composer, orchestrator and performer. He is the founder and leader of the Budapest Klezmer Band. Jávori was born into a Hungarian-Jewish community in Munkács (Mukacheve, Ukraine), where the years before the Second World War witnessed a golden age of Klezmer, the traditional, instrumental folk music of Yiddish-speaking Jewish communities. He has collected and compiled numerous melodies and songs from the last representatives of this formerly vibrant musical culture. Each of the Klezmer Miniatures reflects a different traditional genre of Klezmer. In these pieces Jávori has used certain motifs from Moisei Beregosky's folk music collection. / 2 Violons
