ABRSM Syllabus title - Grade 6Istvan Szelenyi (1904-1972) has written a number of pieces for violin with piano accompaniment which capture a wide range of moods. Joy, sorrow, light-heartedness, and exaltation can easily be experienced by young violinists through these works. Hungarian folk music elements are overshadowed by melodies and harmonies characteristic of late-Romantic music, and this has added to the popularity of these pieces.

Fenn ica Gehrman the music publisher pays tribute to its composers with this 20th-anniversary collection of commissions for violin and piano. Stringendo - Contemporary works for violin and piano (2022) is a collection of ten pieces, which vary greatly as regards their genesis. That by Harri Wessman is playful and exhilarating; Mikko Heiniö wrote his on Women's Day, while the duets by Kalevi Aho and Matthew Whittall are tributes to the late Jaakko Kuusisto. Einojuhani Rautavaara is also represented, in an arrangement for violin and piano of his plaintive, melodic Sydämeni laulu (The Song of my Heart). The title of Lotta Wennäkoski's work, Vestige, is a fitting symbol for the whole collection.

Short introductions to the pieces by their composers are included in the collection in English, Finnish, and Swedish.
