Singing Violins

Description

Popular Classics for Advanced Ensemble or Solo Performance

This collection contains some of the well-loved “salon” type of music of the 19th century, arranged for violin ensemble performance and also edited for violin solo with piano. These selections encourage expressive playing, and in a group setting, teach the unity of intonation, phrasing, and ensemble that one hears in the violin section of a fine orchestra. Includes reproducible parts.
