Violin book for the step beyond first position
de Haske Magical Moments is a violin book for players who are already familiar with first position. In several pieces, you begin working with third position, while small cue notes are added so the melody can still be played entirely in first position.
Where third position does not appear, the challenge lies elsewhere, such as rhythm or key. This makes the sheet music book suitable for violinists at easy to intermediate level who want to develop both technique and musical expression.
Twenty varied pieces with a focus on expression
Magical Moments contains twenty very different pieces, from Overture and The String Hopper to Klezmer, Circus and Granada. That variety keeps practice engaging and introduces you to a wide range of musical moods.
Expression is essential: the aim is to feel and convey the spirit of the music. This makes the de Haske violin book useful in lessons and equally appealing for independent study.
Book plus live recorded CD
This edition by Jos van den Dungen comes as a book plus CD, with a live recorded accompaniment. With 28 pages, a 9 x 12 inch format and ISBN 9789043100007, you get a clear violin method for study and repertoire building.
It gives you a practical way to work at home on position playing, rhythm and musical expression through pieces that each bring their own character.
