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: The Bass Fiddle Waltz (Beyer) * A Stately Dance (Hassler) * March of the Giants (Brian) * Two Jovial Dances (Kingman) * Theme from Pomp and Circumstance (Elgar) * Dance of the Wooden Soldiers (Lichner) * Sarabande and Minuet (Handel) * Menuet (Pleyel) * Gavotte in Rondo Form (Dandrieu).
