Concert Repertoire for Violin and Piano

Concert Repertoire for Violin – Violin and Piano – edited and arranged by Mary Cohen – Faber Music Edition.

The pieces in this intermediate-level collection range in compositional style from the works of J.S. Bach to the works of modern Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe.  Most stay in the 1^st through 3^rd positions, though a few contain short passages stretching as high as 5^th position.  Some harmonics, double stops, and meter changes are involved.  Overall, Mary Cohen’s Concert Repertoire for Violin is an interesting collection of pieces of moderate length, just right for a student recital.

This collection has been edited, selected, and arranged by Mary Cohen and published by Faber Music.  It includes a piano score and a separate violin part.

Difficulty: A3/A4.
