For people familiar with violin pieces
on: September 10, 2008, 08:44:15 PM
Hi there, my brother wants to play violin but I don't know anything about that instrument.

Does anyone know some impressive violin concertos or solo pieces to give him some inspiration?? ;D

Thanks

These are a few pieces off the top of my head that may inspire your brother. They are very accessible to listen to, and will probably impress him.
