Please be nice.

like you said this list is very subjective and technique does vary from person to person. for example, i am playing havanaise, mozart 5, and bach a minor partita, but can not do fast arpeggios to save my life. as to you concern with the mozart, i feel the same way, but did not want to add another level simply for them (im lazy). the chaconne is difficult in is own right as it requires great bow control, technique, and tone quality. i based the viotti off of my friend, who was told she shouldnt be playing them because they are too easy for her. the moto perpetuo is down a few spots for the same reason as the paganini concerti, not much required musicality. while the novacek perpetuum mobile might be faster to learn, it does have some musical demands. i was hesitant about that too, but after some consultation with some of the eastman school professors, was persuaded. i did not include ernst and joachim because i do not own a copy of them. i have heard they are fiendishly difficult,bbut as i have neither seen the score nor heard a recording, i would not judge.

perhaps switching the viotti concertos with the first two mozart concertos and moving mozart 3 to level 7 or 8 would work better? my hesitation stems in hearing from many people that mozart 3 is easier than the other mozart concertos and that mozart 4 and 5 are the hardest.

It is really generous of you to post your list. I have printed it out, and plan to study it over. I have a list too, but I am not only self-centered and stuck-up, I am selfish too.

p.s. have you heard the Ligeti concerto? I've not heard it yet but Ligeti is by far my favorite 21st century composer. :)

Edit: Sarasate Carmen fantasy also looks a bit too high-graded--I've not studied it yet but I've klutzed through it a few times just for fun, and while it's tricky it falls very well under the fingers and there are no ridiculous stretches or obscene passagework. :)

As for the two Carmen Fantasies, I feel they are harder than the other level 10s, but easier than the level 11s. I simply think it is unnecessary to create a level simply for them.

Thanks everyone for being so nice about a sixteen-year-olds repertoire grading. The violin solos are coming soon; I have to finish fine-combing each of the Paganini Caprices before I post it. Bach and Ysaye took me forever.

Ask anyone who has played the Schubert Fantasy...ridiculously hard and tempermental in performance and it's for violin and piano only.

Thank you for your comments. I am reading each of them and revising my list based on your ideas.

Buri, Maura, Pieter, and Kevin, I have concluded that you are correct (not that this was an arguement). After going back and looking, I do agree on the Sarasate Carmen Fantasy. It should be placed down a level. I do not have the music for the Waxman Carmen Fantasy. Does anyone know how that compares? I have heard (and violinmasterclass.com agrees) it is similar in difficulty to the Sarasate.

Buri and Muara, the same thing with the Dvorak. It is not as difficult as the other concerti in that level.

Jude, I have moved the Barber down a level, but not really (you will see why). It ranks high because of the brilliance and difficulty of the final movement.

Willie, the Walton (in my humble opinion ;P) is not as musically difficult as Tchaikovsky or Sibelius. It is very challenging, technically, but in terms of musicality (and once again, my opinion), it does not compare as well. I do hesitate in saying this, though, because I looked at the score for the Walton and, well ... let's just say I will probably never play it.

Anne, thank you. I have added them. Do you or does anyone else have more information on Reiding or Seitz, or really anything that could go in the first few levels. I skipped a lot of repertoire, so I do not know many of the basic pieces.

Kevin, I misplaced the Valse-Scherzo. It should have been in level 10. As for the Paganini concertos, technically, I agree, but musically, I do not. See the revised list. I moved them up. And for the Schubert Fantasy, I saw a performance of it with orchestra. All of the pieces on this list go: w/ orchestra --> w/ piano, or vice-versa. I felt the need to include them, seeing as the list for violin and piano will take a very long time.

I am going to add the new list within a few minutes. This now includes new revisions, commentary on the levels, and a list for violin solos. Once again, thank you for the help.

o Wienaiwski: Concerto No. 1 in F-sharp minor
□ Level 14+ (ie disgusting/not violinistic; THESE ARE FOR THE CLINICALLY INSANE ONLY; these pieces are written for six-fingered Paganini’s; they are very ATONAL; some people do not even consider them music; few people have ever recorded/wanted to record these; play these only when you have played EVERYTHING ABOVE so that you are too old to play the violin and will spare our ears (jk)):
o Gubaidulina: Offertorium
o Ligeti: Concerto
o Schoenberg: Concerto

Violin Solo (in most cases, someone later wrote a piano accompaniment, but in modern times, these are played solo)

□ Level 1:
□ Level 2:
□ Level 3:
□ Level 4 (one of the best-known pieces in the world; you need to be in tune):

□ Level 8 (introduction to the FUGUE; chords are featured often):

o Bach: Partita No. 2 in D minor
o Bach: Sonata No. 2 in A minor

o Ysayë: Sonata No. 2
o Ysayë: Sonata No. 3

o Penderecki: Cadenza
o Tartini: The Art of Bowing
o Wienaiwski: God Save the Queen Variations
o Wienaiwski: Etude-Caprices
o Ysayë: Sonata No. 5
□ Level 12 (violinism is parting us; you need SOLID technique for these; work on stretching your land large distances and playing two scale at once, meaning one with fingers and bow normally, and the other with left hand pizzicato):
o Bartók: Sonata for Solo Violin
o Ernst: Polyphonic Etudes
o Ernst: The Last Rose of Summer
o Paganini: Caprices 1-5, 7-11, 13, 15-19, 21-24

o Ysayë: Sonata No. 1
o Ysayë: Sonata No. 6
□ Level 13+ (supposedly unplayable, but idk):
o Cage: Freedman Etudes

On the subject of Hubay, anyone know where I can find the sheet music to his "Scenes de la Csárdá"? I have one of them (xeroxed Joska Szigeti's copy in a library!) but I've not been able to find any others.

Excellent list, it's very well thought out and organized. I'm very impressed with the selections.

Also, what about the Schubert-Ernst "Erlkonig" transcription for solo violin? That's a beast if I've ever seen one.
Cheers!

George, where would you place the Ernst transcription?

Of course this is all very subjective. I've always found Dvorak a bit awkward to play--it just doesn't seem to fit my hand.

But again, I don't seem to be a Dvorak person. (Symphony No. 8 = Awkward! "American" quartet = Awkward! Violin concerto = Ahhh!) Shostakovich, on the other hand, makes perfect sense to me.

Still, I think Dvorak should be ranked alongside the other three.

Will, I forgot about those. Because of your comment, I had to clean out and reorganize my music library in order to find them.

Maura, are those for violin solo or violin/orchestra, because I am not adding the violin/piano repertoire yet?

Alex and Maura, I have difficulty even trying to play the Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, or even Mendelssohn or Bruch concerti (I know, Bruch). But, the concerti of Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Khachaturian, and even Berg fall on my fingers decently. I am taking the relative difficulty from input from a large number of musicians, not us few who have trouble with the oddest of things.

Happy Holidays!!!

Can anyone help with the placement of the following composers' concerti:
-Vieuxtemps
-Seitz
-Reiding
-Rode
-Huber
-Hubay
-anything not on my list
-any other student concerti

Thanks,
-Jubin

good luck!

Eunice, thanks.

Glad you put B flat major Mozart up there -- I think it's quite difficult.

V

I also didn't know Paganini wrote 6!!

On the other hand, somebody posted a comment to a young violinist's Paganini caprices on Youtube saying, roughly, "go back to something easier like the Saint-Saens Concerto." I don't know about the rest of you, but that one gave me a beastly time and I think it requires far more stamina than your typical quick, gratuitous showpiece.

Do the levels of the orchestra stuff correspond to the levels of the solo stuff? i.e. can someone reasonably play level 8 solo pieces if they can play level 8 accompanied pieces and vice versa?

I had no idea the Beethoven was so hard! That makes me quite sad. What is it that's so hard about this concerto that puts it above the Barber, the two Carmens, Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, etc.?

Lastly, which of the level 4 concertos do people here prefer (musically)? I've never heard any of them.

Thanks.

P.S. I didn't see Zigeunerweisen (or I'm blind).

Also, I noticed that the Devil's Trill Sonata is not on your list. Other pieces I didn't see: The Vivaldi Double Concerto, the Locatelli violin sonatas (for two violins), and the Handel Sonatas.

It contains a lot of my favourite pieces (which include the excellent Concertinos series from Bosworth). I make up a folder for each grade so that I always have a wide selection of pieces to select from for students at their approximate grade level. The following list is not exhaustive (although rather large) and the lack of pieces in the earlier grades is because I don't have many beginner students at the moment.

there is nooo way that The seitz G minor concerto can come before the Accolay.

Staccato volante! Hellooo!

i was wondering where Beethoven's triple concerto (violin part) would fall under Jubin's repertoire? pleaz respond. thnx.

 This a great list.  Awesome!

Are you sure you would put Bruch in g minor and Khatchaturian in the same level? The first mov. of the bruch is a LOT more easier than any mov. of the Katchaturian. The Cadenza of the Katchaturian is wicked stuff too. The third mov. of the Bruch may come a little closer to Khatchaturian...but still....there are some MAJOR future problematic areas of the Khatchaturian. Lets not forget, I have to say putting Khatchaturia with an orchestra is a heck of a lot easier than the Bruch. But for the most part, I love the list. You must have VERY talented students in order to perform these :D

Would love to see the Schumann Violin Concerto d-minor somewhere. The third Movement has some crazy scales, the first movement has some dezime-double-stop-trills. I would put that concerto somewhere between Mendelssohn and the Paganini VCs.
But honestly: As awesome as those lists are, there are no Grades and progression technically. If you have a good technique you can not only play the difficult pieces better but also the "easy" pieces sound different and get a new aspect to them. And for example if you can play Ernst Last rose, or the etudes technically, it doesn't mean that you can play everything above with ease too. Every music has its own difficulties and its very personal, what is easy for someone and what is difficult.
But still, lists like this are a great help to chose repertoire for you and your students! I haven't played a quarter of it, but I know almost all from listening to competitions and stuff. We violinists have a good time chosing from that rich repertoire. And this is as we all know not even the "complete" list of concertos and etudes.
