| Misc. Notes

21 epigrammatic etudes intended for intermediate students interested in developing their techniques and their musical sophistication. The music is original and inspired by diverse sources. The studies use eclectic harmonic vocabularies from modal to highly chromatic. They are conceived to have well-shaped melodic contours that will keep the performer’s interest. The etudes are in the low register: their ranges extend from open E to D on the G-string (written E2—d1, traditionally identified as half through third positions). They present bowing, fingering, dynamic, and other musical challenges.
