Description

As part of the Belwin Master Solos series and developed under the guidance of Keith Snell, each folio in this collection features a selection of graded solos that serve as a valuable resource for both students and educators.

Each folio includes compositions from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical eras, as well as folk songs, traditional melodies, and a segment of original works. For students, these solos present material that poses specific challenges in rhythm, range, and key signatures, all within music that is both educational and enjoyable to perform.

Every solo has been carefully chosen and arranged to test the student in various aspects of technique and musicianship while also offering exposure to a diverse array of musical styles that are pleasurable to play. Furthermore, particular emphasis has been placed on crafting accompaniments that are straightforward to execute, yet simultaneously enhance the interest of the solo parts.

These solos are available in easy, intermediate, and advanced levels, similar to the Belwin Master Duets. The collection includes: Aria from Oratorio "Belshazzar" (Handel) * Bouree (Telemann) * Elegy (Tyndall) * Heros, When With Glory Burning from Joshua (Handel) * March (Fischer) * Processional (Daquin) * Processional (Snell) * Rigaudon (Bohm) * Rio Grande (Snell) * Rondo (Snell) * Russian Folk Song (Traditional) * Sarabande (Speer) * Two Chinese Folk Songs (Song of Hoe/The Filial Crow) (Traditional).
