Violin Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.784979 Composed by Dorothy van Joolen Barth. Children,Contemporary,Standards. 25 pages. Dorothy van Joolen Barth #25815. Published by Dorothy van Joolen Barth (A0.784979). The Faerie Fiddler aims to make several not-so-easy techniques fun to practice and perform. These techniques include spiccato bowing, trills, and ornamentation. Development of such delicate techniques should be supervised by an experienced violin teacher. Although The Faerie Fiddler is not intended to be an etude book, I hope these elfin solos and duos will be enjoyed by both student and teacher as supplemental repertory. This complete anthology contains 15 solo pieces and 5 violin duos. Front matter is appended to the back. I've endeavored to channel mischievous Puck to sprinkle magic juice on tricky techniques by writing interesting pieces that (1) captivate the player while maintaining simple forms; (2) use woodland imagery; and (3) introduce traditional dance forms. Whimsical verses accompany the pieces and serve to (1) introduce each piece; (2) identify and highlight specific techniques (3) encourage observation of what the music is doing; (4) cast humor on the process, so that student, teacher, and writer are accomplices in the same game. The faerie fiddler techniques are reinforced throughout the book (all pieces except Raucous Rondo include spiccato bowing). Clarity and consistency are maintained in the expression markings so that the student will know when and when not to play off the string (only notes with dots are to be played off the string). The solo pieces and the Violin 2 parts of the duos are written in first position. Violin 1 parts of the duos use third position. Duo 4, Just a Dream, also uses fifth position in the upper part. Though the pieces are short and may look easy, their execution offers challenges, given the transparency of the spiccato bowing and ornamentation techniques. I hope The Faerie Fiddler will provide an enjoyable supplement to spiccato, trills, and ornamentation studies. The sample audio file presented here is the Elf Queen's Waltz.
