6With Explanatory Material and Twenty Original Compositions and Transcriptions
8SOONER or later every music student is called upon to take part in some form of ensemble playing—accompanying, being accompanied, or performing in a larger group—yet the training he has received on his own instrument is at best but a partial preparation.
9It is for this reason that we hear so frequently of good pianists who are not successful accompanists, of capable violinists who are only mediocre ensemble players.
10The mere experience of playing together is of course helpful, yet unless the mind of the pupil is aroused to the exact nature of the new situation, he will still be a soloist concerned with his own part instead of a true ensemble player, entering into intelligent cooperation with others and deriving new pleasures from a higher and more evolved form of music.
11It was with this idea, the result of long observation, that the present work was conceived, the intention being to present appropriate material in such a way as to direct the mind of the student to the principles underlying the art of concerted playing.
13EASY OPERA CLASSICS
14FOR BEGINNERS ON THE VIOLIN
15Arranged for Elementary Ensemble Playing
16For Two Violins, or Violin and Piano,
17or Two Violins and Piano
19THE object of this collection of tuneful opera melodies is twofold: First, to make music more attractive to the beginner by furnishing him easy access to some of the "catchiest" opera tunes, which in their original state would be much beyond his powers of execution; second, to make him acquainted with some of the most popular opera melodies as a basis for future musical enjoyment.
21BEGIN WITH PIECES
22ELEMENTARY METHOD FOR INDIVIDUAL OR CLASS INSTRUCTION OF BEGINNERS ON THE VIOLIN
23(Schirmer's Scholastic Series, Vol. 165)
25THIS method consists of extremely easy exercises embracing notation, time, and the first steps in bowing, interspersed with interesting and tuneful pieces of no greater difficulty. It is very carefully progressive; one stage of advancement after another following in most logical sequence. Every exercise and piece has a piano accompaniment. The piano-part never exceeds moderate difficulty.
