Par SCHRADIECK HENRY. Henry Schradieck chose the modest designation 'studies' for his exercises. Their musical substance, however, goes far beyond that of a study. They are character pieces which get their captivating musical expression particularly from the harmonic progression and expressive melodic lines while the rhythm remains relatively consistent to maximize the effect of practising. The pieces are basically caprices (capriccios) which disregard formal rules in an imaginative and playful manner. 24 Études Caprices by Jean Delphin Alard, the studies cover all major and minor scales of the circle of fifths. In addition to the original fingerings, this edition also contains alternative fingering variants which include both playing in the second position and modern change-of-position techniques like creeping and pivoting. Each study is preceded by short explanations of the editor Benjamin Bergmann concerning the contents and objectives of each study as well as by practical technical information on the performance. This edition is published in the Essential Exercises study series which contains proven practical study works for instrumental lessons / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Etude / Violon

Scales for Advanced Violinists is a technical source book for violinists compiled and edited by Barbara Barber. This 27-page book presents practice suggestions and ideas to take the monotony away from scale practice and to develop and improve evenness, clarity, agility, speed and intonation. The circle of 5ths is presented with 1st position finger patterns. Scales and arpeggios are written out with rhythmic variations and different combinations of bowings. Octaves, thirds, sixths, fingered octaves and tenths as well as harmonics, broken thirds and chromatic scales are also presented with practice suggestions. This is an excellent guide for advanced students and teachers.

Eta Cohen 's world famous Violin method broke new ground when it was first released. Providing an incremental approach to learning the instrument, it only introducing one concept at a time and reinforced each new concept with an accompanying exercise and highly enjoyable pieces. The careful organisation of the method meant that it was a great equaliser because any child could make good progress almost irrespective of talent. It was also based upon the principal that playing well brings intense satisfaction, whereas playing badly only results in frustration. The Eta Cohen Violin Method has produced music professionals who, today, occupy many prominent positions in the music profession, including renowned soloists, chamber musicians, orchestral performers (including several orchestral leaders) and teachers. This sixth edition has been completely revised and updated to make Eta's method available to yet another generation of aspiring violinists. It includes two beautifully recorded CDs containing demonstration tracks of all the pieces. Book 2 follows on from book 1 is packed full of fun and engaging pieces. New keys are introduced, new finger patterns and the 4th finger. Different bowing techniques are also introduced.

In 60 Lezioni. Par PERLINI SILVANO. A new method for violin spread over two years that teaches how to use the first, second and third fingers of the left hand from the very first lesson. Over the course of the first year the student learns all the “applications” for the first fourfingers in the first position and the main bow strokes. The first volume contains a brief look at the history and construction of the violin, together with a functional inroduction to the theory of music, plus basic explanations and exercises ideal for practice and revision over the summer holidays. The second volume is split into lessons, each concentrating on a fixed tonality. The two volumes are aimed at students in their first year of Music at Secondary School (Corsi ad Indirizzo Musicale della Scuola Secondaria di 1° grado), but can also beused by other students at any music school and by students at Music Academies. / Etudes et exercices / Date parution : 1905-07-07/ Etude / Violon

Douze Cahiers D'Etudes Revues, Annotées et Doigtées Par Mathieu Crickboom. Par CRICKBOOM MATHIEU. The masters of the violin have left us an inheritance of numerous books of remarkable studies and caprices. But the very abundance of this precious inheritance makes that an important part of it remains without profit, because it is impossible for the pupils to acquire or study these few thousands studies scattered in fifty big volumes. Very frequently, however, these studies are not classified in a progressive manner. Result of an inspiration which the pedagogical spirit could not always dominate or guide as it liked to, the first studies address themselves sometimes to the pupils who conjugate yet their first shifts with the most easy bow strokes, while the last are always of transcendent difficulty. Whatever be the chosen studies, once the first step is sourmounted, the pupils must do great efforts to realize imperfectly and in divided movements, difficulties which are beyond them. The result of this is: a considerable loss of time and sometimes even much discouragement. It follows at all events, that instead of practising fifty or sixty caprice studies in one year's time, the pupils can hardly study thirty. It is the desire to remedy these multiple inconveniences, that has incited us to realize the present work and in order to accomplish it to search in the greatest works of the masters, the elements the most apt to insure rapidly to the young violinists, the most complete mecanism of the left hand and bow. These exceedingly numerous and diverse elements chosen in the old editions, have been re-examined, fingered and sometimes the nuances (shades) set by us, with the most care and then classified by degrees from the second to the eight year of study in a progressive manner. These books of studies will not bear their fruits however, unless the work is regulated from the second to the fifth year of teaching, by a good method and appropriated exercises. The studies cannot in reality during this period, replace neither a method nor the exercises, they have to be considered rather as an amplified rehearsal of elements learned elsewhere but still badly assimilated./ Méthode / Violon

with Rhymes for the Youngest Violinst. Par MICKOVA MAGDALENA. This little violin method was written by the well-known Czech violin teacher Magdaléna Micková for children of around five years old and incorporates her longstanding teaching experience with this age group. The child first learns to hold the violin correctly, to place the fingers on the fingerboard, to pluck the strings and use the bow. The pieces that follow consist of simple melodies that are printed with large child-friendly notes and allow fingering in the major key to be practised in first position. Rhymes are underlaid making it easier for the children to grasp the rhythms quickly. The pieces are arranged progressively until legato playing is achieved in the last piece. A valuable help are online teaching videos that Magdeléna Micková recorded with one of her students. / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Méthode / Violon

Par CORELLI ARCANGELO. While the value of authenticity in the performance of Baroque music is now widely appreciated, many players still feel daunted by the task of realising the unadorned melodies and basses of Corelli’s Op. 5 Violin Sonatas in their original form. Fortunately, Gustav Jensen’s edition of these works provides an ideal solution to the problem. Carefully fingered and bowed, with the continuo sensitively arranged for harpsichord or modern piano, it presents the notated elements of a spirited and musically satisfying reading, while still leaving room for performers to shape their own interpretation. This volume includes sonatas No. 7 and No. 10 – both composed on the sonata dacamera pattern – and the celebrated La folia variations with which Corelli concluded his collection. Fiery and virtuosic, they have remained a favourite item in the violinist’s repertoire since their publication in Rome in 1700. The solo violin part is also included on a separate insert./ Répertoire / Violon et Clavier
