Bach for Violin Reviews

Kathy and David Blackwell have produced an entirely appropriate and beautiful collection for students of the violin to discover and enjoy . . . There are arrangements of arias . . . which contain passages that are so perfect for the violin that it is hard to believe they weren't originally conceived with the instrument in mind. . . . Audio files of the piano accompaniments are available to download (free of charge) from the Blackwells' website, which also contains - what a fantastic and generous idea - cello parts as an alternative or additional part for some of the pieces . . . This is an absolute gem of a book. It is beautifully set out and easy to read, the suggested fingerings are helpful and the choice of repertoire is stimulating and inspiring . . . it contains pieces which are accessible enough to inspire and enthuse, as well as those which will challenge and extend . . . In short, this is thoroughly recommended. * Celia Cobb, The Strad, March 2019 *
