Set of Parts-Paul Schoenfield is best known as a pianist and his performing credentials are certainly evident here in the highly idiomatic writing for all instruments. This 1980 piece for amplified Violin and Piano with optional Percussiondraws on the styles of Jazz blues and country diddling blending them and surrounding them with Ivesian dissonances in the Piano. Schoenfield notates the freedoms of the popular style with scrupulous accuracy - occasionalmarkings include 'out of tune' and '1/6-tone flat'. Such rousing music is a sure indication that the accompanied violin genre is not losing its vitality in America. Any (or all!) of these Three Country Fiddle Pieces would make astunning encore.

'When somebody tells me that they wish they could improvise I usually reply 'If you really want to you will'. This may seem quite a hard line to take but if the will to improvise exists there is no reason why anyone with however limited a command of their instrument (or voice) cannot realise their ambition the degree of proficiency attained obviously varying with individual abilities and above all the amount of personal effort. As much time as possible should be allocated to ear-training. There are many cassette courses available on the market - such as the David Burge course (for both perfect and relative pitch development). Also the development ofharmonic knowledge should be on-going and to this end use of a keyboard of some kind is imperative. Don't worry how bad a pianist you are - you can only improve. An improviser draws upon any sources available to enhance his/her vocabulary - a popular song for instance or a Chopin waltz or the modes of Messaien or the pandiatonicism (this being simpler than it sounds) of Stravinsky. It is very healthy to expose yourself to a wide spectrum of music - you will probably find this will lead to the development of other skills such as musical analysis or composition - which of course may well be of material use at times when engagements are thin on the ground and one can turn to arranging or writing a jingle or even a film score. All the pieces in this book have a theme followed by a quasi-improvisational section and a reprise of the theme. If you wish feel free to invent your own improvisation or play the written one or perhaps use the first four bars of the written one as a springboard. Please feel free to imbue these pieces with your personality making alterations and decorations as you feel them.' - Tony Coe

Par NEUMANN EVA-MARIA. Every year, an important question never fails to arise during violin lessons: can beginners already take part in the performance of Christmas carols' Now the answer is: Yes, they can! ' thanks to the 35 pieces in 'Weihnacht voller Lichterglanz' (The Bright Lights of Christmas). Eva-Maria Neumann, the author of the well-known 'Geigenschule' (Violin Method) has arranged not only popular German carols, but also pieces from the Nordic countries, Russia, France, Spain and South America as well, and included free arrangements of instrumental Christmas music (Manfredini, Corelli, Haydn) in her collection. The book is arranged according to types of fingering in the first two parts. Sixteen carols are particularly well-suited to beginners who have only just begun learning their instrument. Their accompanying part is to be played only on open strings. Furthermore, all pieces have at least one part in the first position. Thus all violinists can contribute to a memorable Christmas of shared music-making./ Méthode / 2 ou 3 Violons
