for Violin & Piano-Progressive pieces for beginners - grade 2. Original compositions by Robert Trory with piano accompaniments by Sally Mays.This volume was devised by my husband Robert Trory and replaces his First Book of Concert pieces and his Second Book of Concert Pieces. As well as using material from these books he arranged a further 4 pieces from his VIOLIN PLAYING books 1 and 2 and composed another seven original pieces to complete this collection all with piano parts expertly written by Sally Mays.The graded pieces presented here are intended to provide performance experience for the student. The pieces incorporate different styles and genres and it is hoped thatthey will enhance concerts for both performer and listener.Those arrangements of compositions first published as violin duets in VIOLIN PLAYING books one and two presented here for violin and piano incorporate small differences in the violin parts. Robert Trory's work of assembling this book was interrupted in the spring of 2013 when illness made it impossible for him to proceed. His fight to overcome a brain tumour was sadly lost in August 2013. However he had asked me to oversee the production of 'CONCERT COLLECTION' and this I do on his behalf.The task would have been impossible for me without the very great help and guidance of Mark Goddard of Spartan Press. He has expended his time and expertise on the project as well as giving me great encouragement and for this I extend to him my heartfelt thanks. Sincere thanks also go to Sally Mays for her painstaking proof reading and for writing such beautiful and imaginative piano accompaniments. Nina Trory 2014

Par ASCH GLENN / REINER DAVID. For more than a century, violinists have played jazz, swing, blues and similar improvisational styles. With its rich tone, considerable range, and bowed rhythms and phrasing, the violin offers a unique opportunity for a creative and personal statement as a musician. This book presents a broad sampling of the styles of major jazz violinists, from blues to bebop, from jug band to jazzgrass, from big-band swing to Texas swing. Tunes represent the styles of Stéphane Grappelli, Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith, Eddie South, Mark O'Connor, Benny Thomasson, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Darol Anger. Helpful jazz theory sections with exercises alternate with tunes that show how the theory works inpractice. This book has two objectives: first, to present a broad, roughly chronological sampling of major jazz violinists and the styles associated with them, and secondly, to introduce the basics of jazz theory as applied to the violin. Whether consciously or intuitively, through critical listening or by practicing jazz patterns and exercises, the more knowledge of jazz you acquire, the better you will be able to think about the content of your playing without being bound by technical and theoretical aspects. This anthology was written to help provide that foundation. Interspersed with pragmatic jazz theory lessons, you'll find 28 original tunes in the style of various jazz violin luminaries. The book ends with an extensive discography of recommended jazz recordings with a violin focus. Mandolinists as well as other instrumentalists will find a wealth of useful information in this outstanding collection. Delightful broadcast-quality recordings of the repertoire are available online. Includes access to online audio. Written for intermediate to advanced violinists. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Jazz / Recueil / Violon
