Violin Duet Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1488279

Composed by William Shield. Arranged by Robert Hoskins. Classical. 89 pages. Artaria Editions #1065167. Published by Artaria Editions (A0.1488279).

Artaria Editions AE387

The London premires of Opp.1 and 2 probably took place at William Napier's morning concerts held at the Thatched House Tavern in St. James's Street. The performers at this venue were gentlemen amateurs backed with some professional assistance (possibly including Shield) and the audience consisted largely of nobility (but not ladies) on their way to court. Napier's concerts were more than a vehicle for airing newly published works or composers, and when it was proposed to revive the series in 1792, the Morning Chronicle of 28 January recalled that they had served to improve the taste and science of the amateur as well as introducing professional merit to the highest patronage. Shield's duets, expressly written with talented amateurs in mind (according to the title-page of Op.2), exactly suited the repertoire of the morning concerts.

Both sets of duets are neatly engineered with a violinist's grasp of technique and articultion, and with each part sharing in the musical interest. The prevailing spirit of Op. 1 is Italianate and there are many attractive details to be heard. The amoroso movement of No.1, for example, with its ardent episodes and the hunting rondo of No.2 which begins with the representation of distant horn calls and later depicts a chromatically wounded prey. If the opening of No. 3 gives the impression of an exotic dance, including the audible thrum of a guitar or harp, then the rondo of No.4 can be imagined as a spring song animated with birds and breezes.
 
The opening of No.5 is as propulsive as a theatre overture whilst No.6, written for either violins or flutes, assumes a suitably fluty tone. Op.2 is an altogether more compact set which sharpens the focus on elements already noticed in Op.1. Shield employs a variety of forms including minuet, variations, rondo and canon; and he also adopts vocal styles including lyric song (for the affettuoso movement of No.1) and arioso (for the opening adagio of No.2). The first movement of No. 3 sounds like a mini stage overture whilst the adagio of No. 5 can be heard as a melting duet. Both movements of No. 4 adhere to folk style, incorporating hurdygurdy like figurations and simulated versions of the northern pipe-tunes which Shield himself so avidly collected. 
 

 
This edition presents as faithfully as possible the intentions of Napier's source. The style and notation of articulation and dynamic markings have been standardised throughout and, where missing, markings have been reconstructed from parallel passages. The notation of appoggiature has also been standardised to minimize confusion. Obvious wrong notes have been corrected without comment; editorial emendations with no authority from the source are placed within brackets.

SKU: A0.540560

Composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Arranged by Linda M. Scott. Baroque. 7 pages. Linda M Scott #4296565. Published by Linda M Scott (A0.540560).

Antonio Vivaldi (1675-1741) was an Italian priest, violinist and composer, well-known in his day for the both his violin virtuosity and the many concertos, trio sonatas and other works that he composed. This piece is a movement of one of a group of six sonatas written for treble instrument and cembalo. This lively movement is equally interesting for all parts, and easily accessible for advanced intermediate students, amateurs and professionals. A few chromatic passages, and some syncopation make this fun for all.

Composed by Georges Bizet. Arranged by Rachel Lee. Concert,Opera,Romantic Period,World. 19 pages. Rachel Lee #5305511. Published by Rachel Lee (A0.997386).

This arrangement of Carmen for violin quartet was composed with a violin studio in mind. This arrangement provides a way to get a group of violinists together and can be performed with multiple people playing each part. Violin I was written for more advanced players, going up into third position and beyond. It also uses more difficult string crossing techniques and rhythms. Each part is a little easier, with Violin IV being the easiest so that beginner players can participate in a performance. This allows for in-studio collaboration and could be played at the end of a studio recital or for another type of performance.
