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

A series available as violin duets or violin and piano.Whether a student or a great artist, the desire to make a beautiful sound is a constant in the life of any musician. Sound is the musician's voice, the means of communicating an artistic vision to the audience and it should be the aim for children of any age or standard to be engaged in good tone production.The inspiration for writing these pieces came to me from the wish to give the young children I teach music which would develop their ear for both good intonation and beautiful tone production. All the pieces have a strongly implied harmonic structure allowing them to be played without accompaniment. The purpose of the second violin part is therefore to enable the teacher to underline the harmony as well as to influence the student's tone production and intonation through his own sound, as much can betaught by good example. This music is also available for violin and piano with piano accompaniments written by Heidi Rolfe.Finally I think that children enjoy the challenge of expressing different moods and emotions musically, and I hope that the range of ideas implied by the keys and the titles of these pieces will fire their imagination. / 2 Violons
