Synopses & Reviews
Together for the first time in a single affordable volume, these are authoritative editions of Dvorak's
Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 53, and his
Romance for Violin and Orchestra in F Minor, Op. 11.With its unconventional structure and Czech melodies, the Violin Concerto in A Minor broke the centuries-old mold of the concerto form. Dvorak wrote the work in 1879 for violinist Joseph Joachim, a strict classicist who objected to its unorthodox style. Generations of performers and listeners have disagreed with the violinist and embraced the concerto, rejoicing in its lyric beauty.
Thematically drawn from an earlier abandoned string quartet, the Romance for Violin and Orchestra has become a crowd favorite and repertoire standard. This mesmerizing reverie builds to a finale of fiery technical feats and exuberant examples of the composer's characteristic folk rhythms.

Synopsis
inch....this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken inch. (Oliver James, Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.
