Animal violin pieces
Over twenty original works for violin and piano, from chicken to shark, from flea to elephant.
In addition to the seven famous animal pieces, you can discover 14 little-known works in this booklet. They are easy (1st to 3rd position) to moderately difficult (up to high positions) to play. The piano accompaniment is well chosen in the style of the respective originals (17th-20th century and South American); here and there the violin also takes over the accompaniment. The keys range between two B-flats and two sharps, a third of which are in a minor key. The booklet could be suitable for a class recital.
Animals in Music, 21 original works for violin and piano, arranged by Wolfgang Birtel with fingerings and bowings by Barbara Leichtweis-Birtel. ED 23524, € 19.50, Schott, Mainz
