Arpeggio Antics for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Here’s a very useful educational work that gives your first violins an ‘arpeggio’ workout. Extended 3rd fingers for the first violins and violas offer a challenge however an easy violin and cello part are included to enable less experienced students to be involved. An excellent way to encourage a full sound from your orchestra.
Ludwig Van Beethoven composed the classical Piano Trio, Beethoven 3 Duets for Violin and cello. It is arranged for violin, cello, and piano and comes in a 52-page softcover book published by Breitkopf and Härtel.
Mazas, a renowned composer, is known for his effective etudes and chamber ensemble works. This duet for two violins, dating back to the early 19th century, showcases the late Classical and early Romantic styles. The music is characterized by sharp rhythms and lyrical melodies, making it an excellent choice for a String Orchestra at level 3.5.
