Ideal for students beginning their journey in violin performance, Three Pieces for Polly (2004) offers an intriguing insight into Ritchie's musical style from the perspective of a child in the early stages of their studies. Written for young friend Polly Hoskins, the pieces present a sunny idyll—a simple start on open strings followed by a siciliana and a courtly dance. In progressing from the first piece to the third, there come increasing demands for fingering, bowing, phrasing and control.
