Expressive Pieces for the Advancing Violinist

2015 Edition

All of these individual works are freely and legally available in the public domain. I've only compiled
and arranged them in this book as a matter of convenience. The piano parts are also available in a
separate collection on ZerweckViolin.com. In compiling these pieces, I was interested in offering
challenging, varied, and expressive pieces. As a neat set of pieces, students will be more likely to
explore challenges on their own.
