Appalachian
fiddle music, based on
the musical traditions of
the people who settled in
the mountainous regions
of the southeastern
United States, is
widely-known and played
throughout North America
and parts of Europe
because of its complex
rhythms, its catchy
melodies, and its
often-ancient-sounding
stylistic qualities. The
authors explore the lives
and music of 43 of the
classic Appalachian
fiddlers who were active
during the first half of
the 20th century. Some of
them were recorded
commercially in the
1920s, such as Gid
Tanner, Fiddlin? John
Carson, and Charlie
Bowman. Some were
recorded by folklorists
from the Library of
Congress, such as William
Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and
Marion Reece. Others were
recorded informally by
family members and
visitors, such as John
Salyer, Emma Lee
Dickerson, and Manco
Sneed. All of them played
throughout most of their
lives and influenced the
growth and stylistic
elements of fiddle music
in their regions. Each
fiddler has been given a
chapter with a biography,
several tune
transcriptions, and tune
histories. To show the
richness of the music,
the authors make a
special effort to show
the musical elements in
detail, but also
acknowledge that nothing
can take the place of
listening. Many of the
classic recordings used
in this book can be found
on the web, allowing you
to hear and read the
music together.

The piece
was composed at the
request of violinist
Eszter Perenyi, my
colleague at the Ferenc
Liszt Academy of Music,
and was several times
amond the optional pieces
of the yearly violin
competition for students.
It was inspired by the
famous 63rd poem of
Catullus that tells the
story of Attis: the hero
of the Greek mythology
arrives at the Mount Ida
in Frygia, to the
invitation of the goddess
Cybele, and becomes her
lover. The Gallas,
certitude priests of
Cybele chase him into
delirious dance, by the
end of which he castrates
himself. On waking from
his paralysed dream he
entreats in vain for his
virility and freedom to
Cybele, he will remain
servant of the goddess
for eternity. My work
tells the story in four
parts: 1) Attis' ecstasy
2) Dance of the Gallas 3)
Attis' dream 4) Attis'
entreaty. The Catullian
galliambic metric that
first appears in the
'prologue' of the piece,
becomes the
organisational principle
of almost all musical
aspects of it.

How long
should I practice? Which
pieces should I study?
How can I develop a
singing tone? All
violinists ponder these
questions, striving to
make the most of their
practice and
performances. This
enlightening and
encouraging book holds
the answers, offering a
series of interviews with
the most celebrated
violin teachers and
performers of the
nineteenth and early
twentieth
centuries.Twenty-four
famous violinists reveal
the secrets of their
success, sharing the
lessons of their artistry
and experience. In
addition to aesthetic and
technical aspects of
playing, they discuss
their personal
conceptions of violin
mastery. Eugene Ysaye
reminisces about his
studies with Vieuxtemps
and Wieniawski, and
Leopold Auer emphasizes
the importance of
fostering students'
individual talents. Maud
Powell describes her
pioneering role as a
female orchestral
musician, and Jascha
Heifetz voices his views
on technical mastery and
temperament. Hints and
advice from other masters
include tips on efficient
practice, immproving bow
technique, and refining
intonation. A rare find
in musical literature,
this book is essential
reading for every serious
violinist.Dover (2006)

Seven Toes Down II. En
Pointe III. Muddy Boots
This charming suite has
three short movements,
each with its own
character. The suite
bursts open with
breathless energy. Seven
Toes Down is modal, in
7/8 time, with people
dancing in bare feet on
bare ground, so
vigorously that it kicks
up the dust. En Pointe
opens with a lovely
waltz, then it focuses in
on the tiny, delicate
movements of a ballerina
high up on her toes.
Muddy Boots is big strong
guys, covered with dirt
from a hard day of work,
practicing one-upmanship.
Different players have
the chance to show what
they can do, surrounded
by their friends. Then we
catch another glimpse of
the ballerina before
closing playfully with
Seven Toes Down.

A
violinist herself, Lauren
Bernofsky has described
SONATA FOR SOLO VIOLIN as
drawn from
autobiographical
inspiration, including
gestures from Bachâ??s
beloved Partita in E
Major. Bernofsky opens
with a Preludio movement
whose references to Bach
may be disguised, but
they are surely lurking.
The second movement is
lusciously contrapuntal
with the idiomatic
finesse of a violinist
composing for her own
instrument, while
musically journaling the
emotional pain of living
through 2020. The third
and final movement is
aptly marked
â??white-hot,â? and
the music certainly
is. My SONATA FOR SOLO
VIOLIN was commissioned
by violinist Megan Healy
as part of The Maud
Powell Project, which
celebrated the 100th
anniversary of the
ratification of the 19th
Amendment. The project
included the creation of
five new works for solo
violin inspired by and
dedicated to the memory
of pioneering American
violinist Maud Powell
(1867-1920). Healy
premiered the sonata on
May 8, 2021 at PianoForte
Studios in Chicago.Among
the works Powell most
frequently performed in
her recitals was the
â??Preludioâ?
movement from Bachâ??s E
major Partita, and I
decided to refer to that
music in my own first
movement, also titled
â??Preludio.â? The
beginning subtly reflects
Bachâ??s opening
three-note motive,
wherein the music dips
down a semitone and then
comes back up. This
melodic material returns
throughout the movement
in various forms. I also
refer to Bachâ??s
sixteenth-note dominated
texture, and the gesture
in the third measure,
which outlines a perfect
fifth and then fills it
in with notes that
alternate between a scale
and a pedal tone. The
corresponding passage in
my piece occurs in the
same place, measure 3.
Apart from these
references to Bach, my
sonata is much more
modern sounding,
especially in its
chromatic character.I was
still thinking of
Bachâ??s solo violin
writing while composing
the second movement,
particularly the
polyphonic nature of the
slow movements, where the
melodic interest moves
around between the
voices. Emotionally, I
wanted my movement to
reflect the acute sadness
I had been experiencing
over the political and
social situation in the
United States as I wrote
the piece. I realized
that this is a
historically noteworthy
time in U.S. history,
marked not only by
political unrest, but
also by a challenge to
the very values that I
consider essential to
what makes a person
fundamentally human. I
wanted to create a record
of that pain in my
music.The final movement
is marked
â??White-hot.â? It is
imbued with a relentless,
passionate intensity.
Wanting again to reflect
aspects of our own time,
I included glissandi that
refer to rock music,
specifically the
â??fall-offsâ? I
frequently hear played by
electric guitarists. I
borrowed from another
(completely different)
musical tradition as
well, one that is
near-and-dear to my
heart: Klezmer. Klezmer
(Eastern European Jewish
folk music) is
characterized in part by
scales colored by
augmented seconds, and is
often performed by solo
instrumentalists who
improvise embellishments
like quick grace notes.
The second, more lyrical
theme in this movement is
my nod to Klezmer
style.While this piece is
an homage to Maud Powell,
I also think of it as my
own musical
autobiography, as it
combines some of my
favorite aspects of
music, and is played on
my own instrument.

Studies can be
boring - you usually play
them alone and the lack
of rhythm and harmony can
be dispiriting. This very
practical collection
contains the best studies
written throughout two
centuries of violin
education. The studies -
all in the first position
- have been provided with
completely new piano
accompaniments which give
a harmonic and rhythmic
helping hand, so that
practicing becomes more
instructive and more fun.
Each edition within this
concept features two CDs.
For each study there are
three tracks on the CDs:
a demo version, a
play-along version in
normal tempo and one in a
slower, study tempo. The
following technical
skills are included in
the Selected
Studiesprogramme:
Book 2: For the
right hand: string
shifts, staccato, legato,
spiccato; For the left
hand: position work in
the second and third
position; position
shifts, trills.

My piece is
titled 'Zany, Cute,
Interesting.' It's
inspired by the literary
theorist Sianne Ngai,
whose book Our Aesthetic
Categories explores what
she calls 'weak
aesthetics' - our
ambivalent or
antithetical responses to
contemporary culture and
commodities: playfulness
and desperation,
tenderness and
aggression, stimulation
and boredom. This
composition stages a
violin performance that
might support a similar
range of reactions,
offering an ambivalence
around the notion of
virtuosity.- Vijay
Iyer.
