ΒΙΒΛΙΑ ΚΛΑΣΣΙΚΩΝ ΕΓΧΟΡΔΩΝ

At the violin school The Happy Violin, the focus is on having fun while learning: the textbook aims at a playful, early start with the instrument. As the lesson progresses, the growing students are then consciously addressed in a language that corresponds to their age development. This also includes a stylistically diverse range of pieces from classical and folklore, and all sorts of interesting facts about the music and its composers are always reported.
Volume 1: Detailed introduction to the bow position – songs and pieces using only the first type of fingering, with a focus on rhythmic, melodic and bowing technique variety – playful exploration of violin playing techniques such as pizzicato, position playing, flageolet and double stops CD for volume 1 (T 3272). all songs and pieces, with funny dialogues spoken by children. A motivating addition to the lesson and a nice gift idea!
The playbook is designed as a supplement to the first volume of the teaching work The Happy Violin. Therefore, all violin parts can be played in the 1st fingering to suit the violin school. Musically, however, the booklet goes far beyond the content of a first year of teaching, so that the pieces are also well suited to recapitulating familiar content.
The pieces contain a wide variety of musical ideas and styles, from baroque to modern, from the shanty to the Japanese national anthem, from the light canon to the effective prelude piece.

This volume is based on the Urtext of the New Schubert Edition; the solo part has been arranged for the performance on the viola while the piano part is identical to Schubert´s original as presented in the New Schubert Edition.

A new critical edition of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin – possibly the very pinnacle of the whole repertoire for violin –, by violinist Fulvio Luciani. The edition is based on the autograph and is equipped with an apparatus of critical notes: they indicate problems with the reading of the original source, suggest possible new solutions, alternative to the widely accepted ones, and retrace the history of harmonic perception, as evidenced by the changes the composition went through across all its historical editions.
The curator provides indications (clearly distinguishable from the original source) for the performance, the bowings specifically. They are suggestions founded in the observation of the technical apparatus pictured by Bach in his genius: a hand technique closer to a pianist’s than a traditional violinist’s; a mechanism we could call pioneering to this day.
