Description

The Orchestral Violinist: volume 2 continues the series' first volume with even more excerpts from the concert repertoire of the classical, romantic, and twentieth centuries that expose the tactics of the trade.

The Orchestral Violinist compiles excerpts from each piece as stand-alone studies, thereby distilling Rodney Friend's skill. All of the player's technical issues have been resolved by applying precise fingerings and replicating practical bowings.
