The Orchestral Violinist

The Orchestral Violinist is more than just a collection of difficult passages from the classical, romantic and twentieth-century concert repertoire. It distils Rodney Friend's expertise by assembling extracts from each work as self-contained studies. Detailed fingerings have been applied, and workable bowings are reproduced in red, solving all of the technical problems faced by the player. Especially important is the commentary peppering the music, and reproduced in green for clarity. These instructions explain how to negotiate phrasing, articulation and projection of the music through technique: you are shown exactly which portion of the bow to use. This new approach forms an indispensable resource for those preparing for auditions.
