This review is from: Solos for Young Violinists (Paperback)

The Barber series Solos for Young Violinists is a well-developed series and beautifully published. The negative reviews on this site all involve poor practices by Amazon (i.e., not fully identifying the level, 1-6, and not including the full 2-volume package. Music is typically published this way, with a separate violin part and a score for the pianist, and they are not to be sold separately!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good music, but a little tough for a true beginner, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Solos for Young Violinists (Paperback)

These solos start with a few quite easy songs, but very quickly the solos become much more difficult. There doesn't seem to be much for the "just a little better than rank beginner" player. That said, the music is much more satisfying than most available in books for beginning players.

As another customer review said, this package delivered quickly but without violin part. It is confusing that the left upper corner of the book says violin and piano part but inside the book says piano part, I guess Amazon shipping clerk was not aware of this should be a two book package?
