Verdier Cartes postales Vol 1 - 17 Etudes

Jean-François Verdier's Cartes postales (in 2 volumes) invites us to a musical trip around the world with 32 compositions for violin and piano that reflect a great stylistic variety from country to country.

From Chicago (Blues) ta Buenos Aires (Tango), from Eastern European dances (Goulasch, Danse hongroise, Troïka... ) to Latin rhythms (Copacabana) or Oriental modes and sound colors (Les chameaux, Berceuse de Chine), budding violin-players will discover different rhythms, melodies and soundscapes in a format adapted to their proficiency level.

Each volume includes a CD and links to AUDIO files on the Internet, giving students access to inspiring renditions of the pieces by first-class performers as well as play­-alongs.
