Asian student-level violin music

January 24, 2012 at 11:34 PM · We have European folk music in some methods, American in others. We have student music written in hungarian style (brahms transcriptions), israeli style (g. perlman), and probably others. I have a several Asian students, and I just thought it would be neat if I could find some music that reflected that heritage. Anybody know of any?

However...um...anybody know of anything easier? :) by student I mean like the level of the kuchler and seitz and huber concertos. Mostly first and third position, that type of thing :)

I'll head out to see if I can find some Asian violin sheet music when I have a chance now that you got me interested. :)

Greetings from Taipei, and Happy Chinese New Year! :)
