Celtic & More - Violin Duets, for 2 violins

Celtic for the curious If you only think of the folk and fiddle sounds of Ireland and Scotland when you think of Celtic music, you could be missing out on so much of the diversity and subtleties of this energetic music. In his light to medium compositions and arrangements, Aleksey Igudesman not only tickles Breton, Galician and even American bluegrass tones out of popular traditionals like Auld Lang Syne or My Bonnie is over the Ocean, but also finds the Russian and Yiddish style of Celtic Music with a wink of the eye with originals like Russian Jig or Giora Feidman Lost in Dublin. With lots of information on the background of the pieces, on playing, expressive and ornamental techniques and the right groove, Igudesman invites every fiddler to try himself out, to follow new musical impulses and to enter the multifaceted world of Celtic Music with fun on four strings.Level of difficulty: 2-3.
