Präludium / Scherzo. Par CHOSTAKOVITCH DIMITRI. Shostakovich's Prelude And Scherzo from Opus 11 for String Quartet is thought to have been composed whilst he was studying at the Leningrad Conservatory from which he graduated in 1925./ Répertoire / 8 Cordes

Par MEYER RICHARD. Written to help students develop their spiccato bow stroke, this energetic piece is a joyful celebration from the very first measure. The left hand challenges are minimal, allowing the players to focus on controlling their bow on and off the string. A contrasting call-and-response 'B' section in minor mode briefly slows the pace down before the party resumes again. Over time, th…

(1:45) / Orchestre A Cordes

Dabczynski in celebration of that park's centennial, this enchanting piece provides an opportunity for young string players to musically express the magic of dawn on the mountain, of light sparkling on the ocean, of swelling seas as a squall approa…

Par SPATA DOUG. Beginning string students will have a diabolically good time with this all-pizzicato selection. Gleefully sinister melodies pass between all sections and simple quarter and half note accompaniment parts help keep everyone together. The optional piano accompaniment sets the pace with even 8th notes, helping young players subdivide their rhythms. Part independence and note range are …

Penderecki\'s demanding and thrilling String Quartet #3 is now available in a version with double-bass. The instruments are of equal importance, the performers have to master both brilliant virtuoso and lyrical, meditative passages in the ensemble. / Ensemble A Cordes
