Telemann 6 Canonic Sonatas For 2 Cellos (IMC)

Mozart composed over 30 violin sonatas during his lifetime. Among these works, only one sonata stands out for being entirely in a minor key. This particular sonata is known for its dark, brooding and energetic nature. It also features spiccato and martele articulations, which were crucial to the Classical style of music. This piece is appropriate for Grade 4 string orchestras.

“The Grand Royale” by Michael Patterson is a stunning modern classical string ensemble composition created in 2009. It showcases the intricate interplay between the violin I, II, and III, viola, cello, and double bass, and is moderately difficult, making it a great choice for grades 4-6 students. The five-minute runtime mesmerizes and captivates, exemplifying the beauty and depth of classical music. Michael is a highly skilled Brisbane-based musician, performer, conductor, teacher, and composer who has gained diverse musical experiences throughout his career.

Experience the charm of a bygone era with this collection of beloved classics arranged for a piano trio. Once widespread in exclusive hotels, luxury liners, and tranquil spa tea rooms, these pieces are now making a comeback. Highlights include Bucalossi’s lively “The Grasshopper’s Dance” and Duncan’s stirring “March” from A Little Suite, both featured in the BBC series Dr. Finlay’s Casebook. Enjoy the elegance and sophistication of these timeless works.

This work by Hanno Haag features complex and simple harmonies between the Violin and Viola parts.
