Suite de Pieces, Op. for violin and piano by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor
Published by Schott
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875) was born in London of English and African descent. He learnt to play the violin, was recognized as a child prodigy and at 15 was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music with Charles Villiers Stanford, where he was a contemporary of Holst and Vaughan Williams. In spite of racial prejudice and his tragically early death in 1912 aged just 37, he enjoyed great success during his lifetime and has recently enjoyed a resurgence of interest.
Coleridge-Taylor composed his ''Suite de Pieces'' for violin and piano in 1892, when he was just 17 years old. It is a pleasant, thoroughly Romantic suite, a perfect showpiece for the early advanced player. This new modern performing edition of the version for violin and piano has corrected errors and inconsistencies from the first edition. Intermediate-advanced level, Grade 4.
