In 32 Postcards divided into 2 volumes, Jean-François Verdier invites us on a journey around the world by exploring numerous musical styles characteristic of the countries mentioned throughout the pages of his compositions for violin and piano.
From Blues (Chicago) to Tango (Buenos Aires), dances from Eastern countries (Goulash, Hungarian Dance, Troika...) to Latin rhythms (Copacabana, Habanera) or the modal colors of the Orient (The Camels, Chinese Lullaby), a variety of rhythms, melodies, and unique sounds made accessible thanks to a format and writing adapted to the early years of the instrument.
Thanks to the audio supports included with each volume (CD and AUDIO files on the Internet), the aspiring violinist will be inspired by a high-quality model performed by top-level artists, while allowing them to play with piano accompaniment alone.
If it is said that travel broadens the mind, budding violinists will find in these 32 easy little studies an ideal opportunity to combine the pleasure of varied repertoires with the learning of instrumental techniques, all in a progression adapted to their level.
