Schirmer The Baroque Violin Collection - Violon & Piano

Summary of This Book

This collection brings together essential repertoire pieces, chosen for their musical richness and pedagogical interest. It includes pages that develop both technical mastery (fluidity, intonation, coordination, endurance) and expressiveness (contrasts, phrase breathing, harmonic direction). The selection spans several schools and styles: the concertante momentum, the elegance of sonatas, the art of variation, and the power of ostinato basses, with a palette of atmospheres ranging from cantabile singing to brilliant virtuosity.
