Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Over the years, many examination pieces have captured the imagination of teachers and students, but the stars of past syllabuses are often forgotten. This collection brings together best-loved grade 2 pieces, including Kalinka, Got Those 3rd Position Blues? (Huws Jones) and Waltz from Sleeping Beauty (Tchaikovsky). Containing fresh editions of folk and classical masterpieces alongside contemporary favorites, all pieces have been rigorously researched by violin expert Jessica O'Leary. A CD of performance and accompaniment tracks is included, as are useful practice tips. This book includes pieces from current and past Trinity and ABRSM syllabuses.
