Cotton Candy Rag for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Explore an incredibly innovative way to use open strings and 1st finger! Using all four strings, this piece in G major can be used to teach either half position (using 2 fingers) or the backward extension of the 1st finger. Students will enjoy this good rhythmic lesson with repetitious ragtime syncopation. Presented in A-B-A form, this is a swanky addition to your repertoire!

Mozart composed 12 Duets for Violin and Viola during the Classical period. The solo instruments are stapled, and the score is published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-3979). The 16-page score is a delightful blend of the two instruments, with intricate harmonies and melodious tunes. It's a must-have for any classical music lover.
Pleyel, a renowned musician and entrepreneur in early 19th century Paris, wrote a beautiful piece for two violins in the late Classical style. The piece follows the sonata form and features a brooding first theme contrasted with an impish second theme played in staccato quavers. The movement ends with a lively duel between the violins, adding vibrancy and passion to the piece. Your orchestra will love it!
