Stringendo, April 2010
Aimed at Grade 2-3 violinists, Mary Cohen has written all these pieces, which are pastiches of music from the various periods in history. ‘The corn is ripe’ (12th century) through to ‘Head or tails?’ (21st century), with its modern ideas of technique, interpretation and improvisation. Part of me would have preferred to have had a collection of original tunes from each period, but Cohen shows her usual incredible imagination and consolidates technique with what are essentially studies in disguise. Above all, this book is brilliant for developing a sense of period, which is useful for those sometimes-dreaded aural tests!
