Violin Solo Pieces
on: March 05, 2005, 11:29:18 PM
In addition to being a piano student, I also take violin lessons (just for fun).  I'm tired of the Suzuki crap, and am interested in taking up a new piece.  So I was just wondering what your fovorite violin solo pieces are, regardless of difficulty, and if there are links to them.  Thanks.

I don't know what level you're at, but at about a Suzuki level 3-4, there's "Adoration" (Borowski). It's actually quite easy, but sounds harder than it is. I know it's rather overplayed... (but that changes depending on where you live...).

I have this attachment to Kreisler's "Preludium and Allegro" even though it too, is very overplayed. I used to have the music to it, but somehow, I've lost it.

You could try your hand at Paganini's 24 Caprices  ;D hehe but actually, there's an arrangement of a piece by him called "Cantabile' for violin and piano, and it is abseloutley beautiful. Or you could try Bach's Partita in E Major for solo violin.. that's a good one  :) good luck!

The sonatas by Eugene Ysaye are very nice and quite easy to listen to, considering there is no accompaniment.  Check them out.

Astroboy, i guess i forgot to mention that I mastered the 24 caprices when I was 10, and am looking for something new...  ::)  Tony, i really like some of those Eugene Ysaye Sonatas, I'll look into them.  Thanks
