Reviews...
“The Klezmer Fiddle Tunes for Two Violins, Volume 2 includes pieces with keys numbering up to 2 flats and three sharps. One section also modulates to E major and often the harmonic minor is used inclusive of the augmented second. The 29 tunes are very lively and colourful. Fourth and fifth positions are occasionally explored with quite a bit of semi-quaver movement. Mixed bowings across the beat are also featured. The standard is about 4th to 5th Grade AMEB. The pieces are clearly printed and only up to two pages long, so no page turns are required in performance. Chord symbols allow for the possibility of guitar or keyboard accompaniments. These arrangements are fun to play and youngsters will enjoy presenting them in concert or at eisteddfods (Welsh festival of music and poetry).”
