Cartes postales, violon. Volume 2 : 15 études

In 32 Cartes postales divided into 2 collections, Jean-François Verdier invites us on a journey around the world, exploring numerous musical styles, characteristic of the countries evoked throughout the pages of his compositions for violin and piano.

From Blues ( Chicago ) to Tango ( Buenos Aires ), from dances from Eastern countries ( Goulash, Hungarian Dance, Troika ...) to Latin rhythms ( Copacabana, Habanera ) or the modal colors of the Orient ( The Camels, Berceuse de Chine ), so many rhythms, melodies, and singular sounds made accessible thanks to a format and writing adapted to the first years of instrument playing.

Thanks to the audio supports included with each collection (CD and AUDIO files on the Internet), the apprentice violinist will be inspired by a high-quality model performed by leading performers, while allowing him to play with the piano accompaniments alone.

If it is said that travel broadens the mind, budding violinists will find in these 32 short, easy studies an ideal opportunity to combine the pleasure of varied repertoires with the learning of instrumental techniques, in a progression adapted to their level.
