Summary of This Sheet Music
With this Complete Edition, the "Fiddler" series is enriched by a collection dedicated to the Greek folk tradition, renowned for its diversity, purity, and energy. You will find a selection of pieces with very contrasting characters, drawing from several regions and influences: from Cretan dances with the colors of the Peloponnese, echoes of the Balkans, legacies of Asia Minor, to melodies from mainland Greece. The driving rhythms and typical modes give rise to pieces that are both lively and expressive, some of which will immediately evoke the world of Greek music appreciated worldwide.
The violin edition has been designed to adapt to various contexts: ongoing practice, world music workshop, duo, or small ensemble. The main part is perfectly suited for solo violin, while the second part (very easy) allows for the quick integration of a second violin, even at a more modest level. To go further, the collection offers chord symbols to add guitar accompaniment, and this "Complete" version also includes a piano accompaniment, very useful for supporting the pulse, establishing the style, and preparing a concert performance.
The content notably includes: Preface, notes - Vorwort, Anmerkungen - Corfu and Cefalonia - The Sultan's Wife - All the Water in the Sea - Arcadian Dance - The Willow Tree - Pentozali - Lament - Night Calls - The Girl from Samos - Karpathian Song - Nobody Else but Me - Zeibekikos - Syrtos - Magkiko - To the Ends of the Earth - Kozanis.
