Joy of Music - Violin Book

In celebration for Schott Music’s 250^th anniversary, the publisher uncovered, re-edited, and re-engraved several long-forgotten pieces to create the Joy of Music series. These books are targeted to the intermediate to advanced instrumentalist and feature challenging repertoire primarily from the Romantic era. These forgotten gems include flashy encores, expressive and exciting character pieces, and elaborate arrangements of well-known themes.
