This is the first of a three-volume set of pieces by women composers, past and present. The beginning volume is comprised of pieces corresponding to grade levels 1 and 2 in the ASTA String Syllabus, and features works that have been out-of-print or are newly composed. The intent of the anthology is to provide music written by women for violinists of all skill levels, contributing a
collection of fun, pedagogically-sound recital pieces to the available teaching literature. The first volume contains pieces by Josephine Trott and other violinist-teachers of her generation, as well as a commissioned suite by a young composer. Volume 2, Intermediate level ASTA String Syllabus levels 3-4), should be ready be the end of 2009, and will include a previously unpublished work by Marga Richter. Volume 3, Advanced (ASTA String Syllabus levels 5-6), is scheduled for publication in Spring 2010, and will include a newly-commissioned work by Libby Larsen, a movement from Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s Partita, and a movement from the previously unpublished
Violin Sonata by Rebecca Clarke.
