The First Violet Op.575 No.8

Franz Behr

What's this piece like?
This is a remarkable piece for beginners with a tender and expressive character. We stumbled upon this music quite by accident and we hope you will love it as much as we do! It is also a great piece to learn musical form, with a very clear theme structure that includes two short phrases, followed by one long phrase (exactly twice as long as the first two). This form is called a "Sentence" and it is commonly used in classical music.
Who's this piece for?
A great piece for beginners who are polishing their technique.
