The main focus of Volume 3 lies on duet playing in different metres and keys. The variety of the selected recital pieces is designed to encourage fun in music-making and to develop a feeling for contrasting musical styles. On this basis, the familiar finger patterns and bowing strokes are thoroughly practiced and expanded. Learners also encounter fundamental ornaments (trills, appoggiaturas, upper mordents) and a new rhythmic unit: the triplet.
To accompany this volume we recommend Volume 2 of the “Violin Recital Album” (BA 9669), edited by Kurt and Christoph Sassmannshaus and Melissa Lusk. It contains 13 delightful recital pieces in first position with piano accompaniment and an optional second violin part, allowing young players to display their progress in recitals.
