Two Characteristic Marches, Op. 121, D. 886

By Franz Schubert / ed. Maurice Hinson and Allison Nelson The Two Characteristic Marches, Op. 121, were composed in 1826 and are the only marches that Schubert wrote for piano duet that are in 6/8 meter. Both marches are in C major and are scherzo-like in mood, revealing Schubert’s fondness for sudden dynamic changes, his musical wit, and his fine melodic writing.

Improve Your Sight-Reading for Violin

by Paul Harris

This revised series is designed to help overcome the nerves that can cause sight-reading problems by giving sound technical advice and confidence boosting tips. Step-by-step it helps the violinist to build up a complete picture of each piece, first through rhythmic and melodic exercises related to specific problems, then by the study of prepared pieces with associated questions for the student to answer, and finally to the real, unprepared sight-reading test itself. Check-boxes for each stage allow both teacher and student to keep an eye on progress.
