11GRADED PIECES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO (Edited by John Craig Kelley)
12Four Books.
13A series of fine melodies in violin literature, transcribed and arranged in progressive order. It forms an indispensable collection for teachers of beginners.
14I. Fifty Easy Melodies for Violin and Piano in the First Position
15Size, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; viii + 43 pp.; violin part, 16 pp.; paper; $1.25
16Begins with a little piece for the open strings, followed by several pieces for one or two fingers and the open strings. The balance of the book is made up of familiar folk-melodies and very easy numbers by well-known composers.
18II. Thirty Pieces for Violin and Piano in the First Position
19Size, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; viii + 48 pp.; violin part, 17 pp.; paper; $1.25
20These thirty numbers, while in the first position, are in musical and technical difficulty more advanced than those in Book I of this series, providing greater problems of fingering, bowing, rhythm, key and tempo. The final pieces demand of the pupil a dexterity of fingering and bowing, and a feeling for rhythm, which he can hardly have acquired in less than two years' study.
22III. Thirty Pieces for Violin and Piano in the First Three Positions
23Size, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; viii + 58 pp.; violin part, ii + 21 pp., paper; $1.25
24The pupil may play the first pieces in this book when he has started to learn the third position, as they are very simple. The surprising dearth of attractive little pieces in the first three positions that are within the technical grasp of very young players, led the editor to make his own arrangements for the larger part of the book. Among the composers represented are Gounod, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Wagner and Verdi.
26IV. Twenty Pieces for Violin and Piano in the First Five Positions
27Size, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; viii + 56 pp.; violin part, i + 22 pp.; paper; 1.25
28In its technical demands and in musical dignity this volume is quite in advance of the three earlier books in this series, demanding a degree of artistry. Included in this collection are Bach's Air for the G string, Godard's Berceuse, Handel's Larghetto, Bohm's Scherzoso, Saint Saëns, The Swan and Schubert's The Bee.

41I. Fifty Very Easy Pieces in the First Position
42Size, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; iii + 76 pp.; violin part, i + 22 pp.; paper; $1.50
43These brief numbers commence with two pieces for the open strings, introducing the third finger with No. 7, and all the fingers with No. 9. Many of the selections are folksongs and there are several very easy arrangements of classical melodies.
45II. Thirty Drawing Room Pieces
46Size, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; iv + 113 pp.; violin part, 40 pp.; paper; $1.50
47These pieces, intended for the study of shifting, are all melodious and pleasing both to performer and listener. The numbers include five each by Bohm and Tours, four by both Danbe and Sitt, and pieces by Dancla, Godard, Papini, Reinecke and others.
49III. Thirty Operatic Selections
50Size, 9 1/4 x 12 1/4; iv + 91 pp.; violin part, 32 pp.; paper; $1.50
51These selections, while chosen as aids in the study of shifting, are taken from operas by great writers of different periods and schools. Mozart, Rossini, Wagner and Weber are each represented by three or more numbers, and among the other composers are Auber, Bizet, Delibes, Flotow and Gounod.
