About this sheet music

Violin Duo Theme Collection – Vol. 2 brings together 10 memorable themes from some of classical music’s most beloved works, presented as excerpt arrangements for two violins. Rather than focusing on one complete work, this collection gives you the opportunity to explore a wide variety of composers, musical styles and characters from the expressive beauty of Albinoni and Schubert to the elegance of Strauss, the rhythmic intensity of Ravel and the rich orchestral world of Tchaikovsky. Play the excerpts with your teacher, your student, or a friend. Each arrangement transforms a familiar musical theme into a two violin experience, allowing you to enjoy music that was originally written for very different instruments and ensembles through the intimacy of a violin duo. The variety within the collection also makes it a valuable way to develop important musical skills such as listening, ensemble balance, articulation, phrasing, rhythm and musical communication. Because these are carefully selected excerpts rather than complete works, you can explore many different musical worlds without having to prepare an entire symphony, ballet or orchestral composition. Included in This Course - 10 classical excerpt arrangements for two violins - Full score with Violin 1 & Violin 2 together for each excerpt - PDF sheet music 10 Excerpts Included - Albinoni – Adagio - Johann Strauss II – The Blue Danube - Schubert – Ave Maria - Beethoven – Symphony No. 7: Allegretto - Ravel – Boléro - Pachelbel – Canon - Mozart – Symphony No. 25: Opening Theme - Tchaikovsky – Swan Lake: Scene - Tchaikovsky – Symphony No. 6: Second Theme - Tchaikovsky – Waltz of the Flowers And this is only the beginning. As part of the SHIVA Sheet Music Academy, this course can continue to grow with practice ideas, musical guidance, videos and other learning resources designed to help you explore each excerpt more deeply. Our goal is not simply to give you a collection of sheet music. We want these excerpts to become a way to discover great music together exploring different composers and musical characters while developing your listening, ensemble playing and enjoyment of making music with another violinist.
