First Repertoire for violin This is an eclectic group of pieces ranging from the baroque era through to the present day. It includes such originals such as Pleyel's Andante from the Sonata op. 48 no.4, Elgars Andantino from his Six Easy Pieces and Dancla's Polka, and Introduction and Rondo from the Little School of Melody, arrangements of dances from Suites and Sonatas by Bach and Handel, 20th-century favourites by Irving Berlin and Henry Mancini (The Pink Panther) along with the estimable Mary Cohen's own compositions: Night Flight – an excellent introduction to perpetuum mobile technique –and Lean Mean Tango. Aimed at players between the grades of 2 and 4, there is much to temp pupils stylistically, whilst gradually improving their technical security. Fingering has been left to individual choice, but bowings and dynamic suggestions have been included. As one has come to expect from this series by Faber Music, the copies are clearly printed, robust and awkward page turns have been carefully eliminated from the violin part. This would be a useful addition not only for teaching purposes, and pupil's concerts, but also as sightreading material for more advanced performers. ESTA News and Views 32 No.1
