The Grade 5 SCSM Violin Examination Album helps to guide candidates towards playing works from the masters, Vivaldi, Handel, Telemann and Bach. As with Grades 3 and 4, Item 1 contains energetic pieces, Item 2 pieces are sonorous, and Item 4 pieces are unaccompanied solo works.
The Grade 5 Album looks considerably harder than the Grade 4 Album at first glance, however practiced with a methodical approach candidates are sure to achieve results both pleasing to them, and their audience.
All technical work is included in this album.
