Hymns and Classics for Violin: 12 Solos and Duets with Keyboard Accompaniment

Purchased so I could accompany my daughter as she plays the violin. There are only TWO violin solos in the book. We only have ONE violinist in the family. The title is misleading giving the impressions of 12 solos & duets. Even 6 solos & 6 duets would have given us a few songs to play. It would be much cheaper to purchase sheet music individually.If you have TWO violinists and a piano accompanist, this would be a great book for you as the songs are well written and beautiful.This is a Violin DUET book... just leave the word SOLO out of the title!

This is a great book if you are looking for a creative take on classic hymns. The arrangements vary in difficulty (speaking for violin parts, not the piano part since I don't play) and are interesting even for advanced amateurs. Mr. Ritter appears to know and love the classic hymns dearly, which is reflected in the music. I can tell which verse he has in mind for each repetition of the melody.A few weeks ago I used "And Can It Be" during a Presbyterian service and actually got an ovation. If you are not Presbyterian, you may not realize how impressive that is! Beautiful music, arranged in a modern but respectful style. Thanks, Mr. Ritter!

I like the music but the CD is not an accompaniment. I was disappointed because I don't know a piano player to play the accompainment part. Was hoping it would have that.

THE HYMNS WERE OK.HOWEVER I WAS SENT A CD ROM AND TOLD I COULD PRINT THE VIOLIN PART OUT.I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THAT. I DO NOT EVEN HAVE A PRINTER.

Just the book I wanted. We will use it for church. Very satisfied.

It offers enough musical interest for the novice to be challenged. It also offers enough ideas for the intermediate violinist and pianist to offer additional variations to the pieces.I was hoping for something a little more challenging, but this was okay and is helpful for something needed at the last minute.

Thank you. As described.
