Description
Violin
These six Handel arrangements are sensitively and idiomatically written for the violin by Carl Flesch, the twentieth century pedagogue and performer behind the classic string method The Scale System. Featuring selections from Handel’s beloved operas and oratorios like Solomon, Messiah, Joshua, Te Deum?, and others, Flesch retains all the lyricism and sparkle of the original material, while making ample use of charms unique to the violin like double stops and open string grace notes. With remarkable fingering and string choices, the arrangements in this book will make for excellent and instructive recital repertoire for the intermediate advanced violinist.
