Khachaturian: Violin Concerto 

About This Sheet Music

Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto is one of the most exciting and distinctive works in the violin repertoire, combining rhythmic energy, expressive melodies and brilliant virtuoso writing. This SHIVA Performance Edition shares the fingerings, bowings and musical markings that we use in our own approach to the concerto. For us, fingerings and bowings are much more than technical instructions. They influence phrasing, articulation, sound, musical direction and the natural flow of a passage. By sharing our choices, we want to give you a practical starting point while encouraging you to listen, experiment and develop your own interpretation. Use our markings as guidance rather than strict rules. Explore how different choices affect your sound and phrasing, and gradually discover what works best for your own playing. Included in This Course - SHIVA fingerings - SHIVA bowings - SHIVA musical markings - PDF sheet music The SHIVA Performance Edition is available immediately when you join SHIVA Membership, so you can begin studying and practising the concerto from the moment you become a member. And this is only the beginning. As part of SHIVA Membership, this course will continue to grow with practice ideas, technical guidance, musical interpretation, videos and other learning resources to help you explore Khachaturian’s concerto more deeply. We will continue adding resources based on the way we approach, practise and perform the music ourselves. Our goal is not simply to give you the notes, those can already be found elsewhere. We want to share the practical and musical decisions behind how we study and approach the piece as violinists, and continue building resources that help you understand, practise and enjoy the music in greater depth.
