String Festival Solos are economical collections of transcriptions by Samuel Applebaum. In two volumes for each instrument, the solos are in progressive order of difficulty. Each volume contains nine pieces -- all classic titles in the Applebaum teaching repertoire. Some of these have been hard to find. Volume I progresses from Level 1 to Level 2, Volume II progresses from Level 2 to Level 3. The solos are useful for teaching technique, dynamics, phrasing, and overall musicianship. String Festival Solos are excellent for recitals, auditions and performances for assemblies, concerts or festivals. Contains: In May (Behr) • The Blue Danube Waltz (Strauss) • Smooth Sailing (Konrad) • Kiss Me Again (Herbert) • The Space Waltz (Streabbog) • Dance of the Clowns (Beyer) • Hobgoblin Dance (Biehl) • Carnival (Couperin) • Polka (Dancla).
