Christmas Strings: Violin 1 & 2 with Piano Accompaniment: Solo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780786675586)

These books are arranged to be performed with various combinations of instruments. This volume presents some of the most beloved repertoire for the Christmas season. Some works are well known, others will sound fresh and new to most players. The pieces may be performed as a solo for each instrument (Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola or Cello) with piano accompaniment, or as duets or trios, as well as full orchestra. If performed with full orchestra, the piano accompaniment is not necessary.

The string ensemble series meets all standards forASTA (American String Teachers Association) and Suzuki Association of the Americas, Inc.

If performed with full orchestra, no solo parts should be played except the 1st violin part. Note also, if you wish to perform these workswith full orchestra and you are short certain instruments, you still have some flexibility with the score. For example, if there are not enough violas for balance, the viola (harmony part) and 3rd violin part are identical. The part may be played with all 3rd violins or equally divided between 3rd violins and violas. A separate 24-page insert pull-out part for violin 1 &2 with piano accompaniment.
