Par FINE ELAINE. Although the practice of scales is essential to building and maintaining strength, technique, tone, and agility?it is very easy to slip into the habit of playing them automatically, without paying attention to how they sound or even being aware of what scale we are playing. The 29 single-page studies in this book are designed to combat that tendency as they are musically, intellectually, and rhythmically challenging.The first 24 studies proceeded through the circle of fifths and address all minor and relative major keys; the last 5 pieces were individually conceived, i.e., apart from the circle of fifths. Occasional fingerings or position guides are suggested but these are largely left to the student or their teachers. No metronome indications are given so that the etudes can be played at individually comfortable tempos?with or without a metronome, or freely as concert etudes. It is the stepwise motion and octave leaps of the etudes that makes the intervals between pitches easy to hear, even in keys with numerous flats or sharps.Just as in Elaine Fine?s more basic scale etude book, Violin Scale Tales, the names of the etudes herein refer to various animals that have scales, including insects, fish, birds, reptiles, a few species of squirrels with scales on their tails, and the solitary pangolin, the only known mammal whose entire body is covered with scales. Again, the author hopes that in addition to experiencing more enjoyable scale practice, students will be inspired to learn more about these amazing creatures, or even write scale studies of their own. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Etude / Violon

This composition was written quickly in a matter of days however the composer describes the longer process of writing the piece as unconscious preparation. There are opposite elements on display within the piece fragile coloristic passages give birth to energetic events with clear rhythmic and melodic charachter.More sharpely focused figures pass through different transformations then finally merge back to less dynamic but no less intensive filigration. In bringing these compositional elements together and by forcing opposite modes of expression the composer has aimed to force the listener to stretch their own sensibility.

Par NEWTON ABBY. Aujourd'hui le violoncelle est habituellement considéré comme un instrument classique, mais la fin XVIIe au début du XIXe siècle, il a été utilisé dans des ensembles folkloriques à fournir des rythmes faibles, conduites danse tunes et à rendre haunting airs écossais. Au sein de la Renaissance de la musique folklorique du passé quarante ans il y a eu un mouvement petit mais dédié à restaurer la richesse unique du violoncelle à la musique traditionnelle et Newton Abby a été à l'avant-garde de ce mouvement. Abby a été profondément impliqué avec la musique écossaise depuis, voyageant à et d'effectuer, en Ecosse, plusieurs fois.

Three new compositions by Stephen Dodgson have been added to four of his pieces previously set for Associated Board examinations to make an attractive suite all of the pieces can be played in first position with the exception of numbers 5 and 6'A warm welcome to both the Ridout Seascapes and the Dodgson Miniatures... The Dodgson Miniatures are more individual and rather more difficult with an amusing 'Humoresque' a plangent 'In the Phrygian Mode' and a clearly phrased dance which introduces G flats (as well as using F sharps). They are playable without being predictable.' Music Teacher
