Solos for Young Violists CD, Volume 3

Solos for Young Violinists CD, Volume 3 – Barbara Barber

Take violin practice beyond simply learning the notes with Solos for Young Violinists CD, Volume 3. Performed by renowned violin pedagogue Barbara Barber with pianist Trudi Post, this companion recording gives developing violinists professional performances to study as well as piano-only accompaniment tracks for practice. Alfred Music

Part of the progressive Solos for Young Violinists series, Volume 3 features important student repertoire that bridges the gap between intermediate study and major violin literature. The series is designed to supplement virtually any violin method or course of study. Alfred Music

Hear the Music — Then Play with the Accompaniment

One of the biggest advantages of the Solos for Young Violinists Volume 3 CD is that it serves two purposes.

Students can listen to Barbara Barber perform the repertoire with piano, providing a musical model for tempo, phrasing, articulation, dynamics, style, and interpretation.

The second half of the CD contains piano accompaniment tracks without the violin part, giving students the opportunity to perform the solo themselves with recorded piano accompaniment. Alfred Music

That's particularly useful for recital preparation and home practice when a live accompanist isn't available.

Repertoire in Solos for Young Violinists Volume 3

Volume 3 includes seven works from the student violin repertoire: Alfred Music

• Tempo di Menuetto – Fritz Kreisler
• Air Varié, Op. 89, No. 5 – Charles Dancla
• Mazurka in G Major – Emil Młynarski
• Perpetuo Mobile from Little Suite No. 6 – Carl Bohm
• Ave Maria – Bach-Gounod
• Souvenir de Sarasate – Paul Potstock
• Concerto No. 1 in A Minor – Jean-Baptiste Accolay

It's an excellent collection for violinists beginning to tackle more substantial solo literature, with repertoire representing a variety of musical styles and techniques. Alfred specifically describes pieces in the series as established stepping stones toward major violin repertoire. Alfred Music
