Solos for Young Violinists is a graded series of works ranging from elementary to advanced levels representing an exciting variety of styles and techniques for violinists -- a valuable resource for teachers and students of all ages. Many of the works in this collection have long been recognized as stepping stones to the major violin repertoire, while others are newly published pieces for further choices of study.

Carl Fischer Music presents the first U.S. edition of violin pedagogue Venjamin Sher's Twenty-four Virtuoso Etudes. Previously available only in Russia, Venjamin Sher's violin etudes, written between 1954 and 1959, are acclaimed and required literature for all violinists in the former Soviet Union. First published by the Compozitor Publishing House of St. Petersburg, Sher's etudes reflect a lifetime of experience as a performer and teacher. This collection sets itself apart from other instructional compilations in that it incorporates new forms and textures discovered by the composer, and while practicality is its focus, artistic value is never compromised, drawing from the example of etude collections by Nicolo Paganini and Henryk Wieniawski. This beautiful new edition is edited by esteemed professor of violin Klimenty Veksler, who also lends valuable insight with a foreword. Students and professional violinists alike will find Sher's Twenty-four Virtuoso Etudes greatly useful in honing both technique and expression. 

The standard work for violin has been transcribed for viola by Charlotte Karman with the goal of helping the violist develop better overall technique through scale exercises in all major and minor keys. A proven body of material that will pay many rewards to the conscientious student. 

This extensive collection of etudes for violin provides scale exercises in all major and minor keys.

Each type of shift is presented and developed with interesting melodies. The material in this volume is chosen for its musical interest and its technical value. There are a number of duets which are to be played by either two pupils or with the class divided into two groups. The material in this book is realistically graded so that only a minimum of explanatory material is required. Suggestions for work by rote are presented throughout the book.
