Wieniawski: Ecole Moderne, Op. 10 for Violin Solo

Wieniawski, Henryk - Ecole Moderne, Op. 10. For Solo Violin. Edited by Ivan Galamian. Published by International Music Company.

Like most of Wieniawski's compositions, L'Ecole Moderne, Op. 10, pushes the violinist's capabilities to the limit. Essentially a collection of virtuosic etudes addressing specific techniques (up- and down-bow staccato, for example), each of the ten studies is a dazzling performance piece unto itself. These works are for solo violin, though Jascha Heifetz often played them with piano accompaniment; where he came up with them, we're not sure.

This edition for violin solo is edited by Ivan Galamian. Published by the International Music Company.

Difficulty: A6.
