The Best of Grade 5 Violin (Sheet music)

Over the years, many examination pieces have captured the imagination of teachers and students, but the stars of past syllabuses are often forgotten. The Best of Grade 5 Violin brings together best-loved grade 5 pieces, including Pleyel's Sonatina in B flat, Faure's Sicilienne and Wedgwood's Survivor. See Jessica talk about a piece from the Grade 5 book here. Containing fresh editions of folk and classical masterpieces alongside contemporary favourites, all pieces have been rigorously researched by violin expert Jessica O'Leary. Online audio of performance and accompaniment tracks is available to download, as are useful practice tips. This book includes pieces from current and past Trinity and ABRSM syllabuses.
