Summary of This Method
This collection with CD, authored by Wim Dirriwachter, is intended for intermediate-level instrumentalists who wish to enrich their practice of the violin with piano accompaniment. Designed to consolidate technique while developing the ear and interpretation, it offers content suited to common second-cycle goals: better intonation control, rhythmic stability, more natural phrasing, and attention to style.
The included CD is a major asset for structuring daily practice. It allows training with a reliable musical reference, improving synchronization with the accompaniment, and gaining confidence during more demanding passages. In lessons, the audio also facilitates preparation between sessions and encourages steady progress with a concrete and motivating approach.
The writing for violin and piano promotes ensemble playing: mutual listening, sound balance, shared breathing, and management of transitions. Whether for sight-reading sessions, precision work, or audition preparation, this method suits both teaching and personal practice. Thanks to its texts in four languages (English-German-French-Dutch), it remains accessible to a wide audience and integrates easily into various pedagogical contexts.
