A microcosmic masterpiece in its own right and defined by the composer as an encore piece, Bitten at the Opera is all that and more. Carter Pann may leave us guessing about some of the references in his music and title - yet we do feel the bite, the melodramatic thrill, the references to Carmen, and the drama of the great Italian tragic operas. Parody aside, Bitten at the Opera is a brilliant 4 1/2 minute showpiece full of lyricism and fire, ideal for punctuating a recital. For advanced performers.

25 easy pieces from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, playable in the first three finger patterns in the first position, forviolin pupils from the second year of learning. Apart from lesser known works, this edition also contains many popular pieces, such as themes from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Handel's Fireworks Music and Water Music, Mozart's Magic Flute or Beethoven's Symphony No. 9.This volume's intention is to grant access to classical masterpieces of concert literature with the help of such easy arrangements and spread the joy of classical music. The approach to the pieces is made easier by the accompanying audio tracks which, on the one hand, offers the opportunity to listen to and get to know the pieces beforehand, and, on the other hand, thanks to the separate piano accompaniments, provides first experience in ensemble playing and conveys the vivid joy of music-making. When the tracks were recorded by Prof. Benjamin Bergmann, violin, and Leonid Dorfman, piano, they deliberately decided in favour of moderate tempos to make it easier for the young violinists to play along with the piano part. A treasure trove for auditions at schools and music schools.

Originally, Camille Saint-Saens created this work for piano in 1877 under the title 'Etude en form de Valse,' Op.52/6. In 1901, Ysaye reworked this piece for violin and piano and published it as 'Caprice d'apres l'Etude en forme de Valse de Saint-Saens.' Ysaye created a veritable masterpiece for violin, far more popular now than the original piano version. It has taken its rightful place in the virtuoso violin literature. This work is on the concert and recorded repertory of virtually every major violinist and a compulsory work at most major competitions.
