Campagnoli, Seven Divertimenti For Violin (Mayhew)

Campagnoli, Seven Divertimenti for Violin Opus 18 (Mayhew)

Edited by Yfrah Neaman

Campagnoli's intention in writing these divertimenti was to help the violinist achieve complete mastery of each of the seven principle positions.  It is therefore important to play each Divertimento in one position only throughout.  These advanced studies are invaluable to allow the violinist to learn how to think in position and find their way around the fingerboard.

These are beautiful studies which can be enjoyed as much for their music as the technical advancement provided
