  • Technique Flies High! published by Faber Music.

14 advanced studies for solo violin. Using baroque, romantic, contemporary and folk styles, these studies are also ideal as unaccompanied concert repertoire. Practise and performance tips guide the student and outline the technical and musical goals. Techniques covered include: advanced position changing, fast passage work and string crossings, natural and artificial harmonics, slow bowing and playing many notes in one bow, working in unusual or changing time signatures, free improvisation within strict boundaries, double stopping, and rapid changes between arco and pizzicato. Follows on directly from Technique Takes Off!. Approximately Grade 6-8 standard.
