About This Work
Charles-August de Bériot (1802-1870) was one of the most striking of child prodigies on the French violin scene, and led a tragic personal life. His wife died six months after their wedding, and soon after that he began losing his sight.
He is credited with having brought the violin-playing school of Viotti into the Romantic Age, and with having founded the initiated a new, more bravura style which became known as the Franco-Belgian school. This work is intended for students who are developing that style. It is a tuneful and outgoing work, abounding with devices like ricochet bowing and left hand pizzicato, and also uses a scordatura (non standard tuning of the strings) so that the violin has different resonances and can make different double-stop and chord combinations.
