Hi, Guest!

[Danielle]

I just finished accolay in A minor and I was wondering what would be a good peice to study next, besides the Bach in A minor.

Any suggestions?

My teacher pretty much lets us pick our own peices, as long as is isn't way out of our range.

Well according to the handy-dandy repertoire list on this side how about

Beriot Concerto in A-minor, No. 9, Op. 104
Beriot Scene de Ballet, Op. 100
Haydn Concerto in C-Major, Op. 48
Kabalewski Concerto in C major
Mozart Concerto no.2 in D major or no.3 in G major

The Mozart is something you will be playing for the rest of your life, so even though it is "level 5" on this side it is on level 12 when it comes to musical maturity.

Well my teacher said the deBeriot 9 is too hard, are the peices ranked in order of difficulty

Try the Bartok Rumanian Folk Dances. There are 6 very short movements. The 3rd movement may be too difficult since it is all artificial harmonics. Or you could do Sicilienne & Rigaudon by Kreisler.

I finished Accolay, and now I am working on Bach's Concerto No.1 in a minor. It's really not that big of a leap. This piece is only slightly daunting due to its' style and intonation. So, if your looking for a managable leap, I go with Bach a minor.

Bach a -minor is very nice and within the skill level. If you would like something different, I suggest the first movement of Mozart's G major concerto, without the cadenza ofcourse.

..why not plaing Beriot nr.9 concerto...? (its probably e minor...or a minor..)

[Danielle]

I thing all de Beriot is a little advanced for right after Accolay. I think Bach 1 or 2 or Mozart 3 is a much better choice

introduction and rondo capriccioso by saint-saens

not to bad if you work on it slowly and bit by bit...

[Pauline]

.are y kidin?? Introduction & Rondo?? It is VERY DIFFICULT!!!!!!!!!! It requires perfect right hand technique and very fast left hand. It is definitelytoo difficult as a piece AFTER ACCOLLAY.
Mozart concertos are difficult too...but you'll learn much on them. I sugest Mozart D najor KV 211.

[legolas]

That is one of my favorite pieces!

I think you should leave Mozart until you have got more repertoire behind you just so your interpretation will be more in your own style - more interesting. Mozart needs a lot of maturity.
Why not just build repertoire by playing simple but elegant pieces such as Salut d'Amour, Ave Maria etc, which would set you up nicely for the Mozart, and are useful to have as an encore piece. In fact, I would suggest you look up the ABRSM Grade 5 Violin syllabus, because there are lots of pieces like that which would suit your standard well.

.. I agree ..Introduction and Rondo Capriciosso is very beautiful...i like it very much too ...but it is definitely an advanced piece which requires very good technique.
