Solo after Dragonetti

[Kaden]

I recently got done with dragonetti concerto and i was woundering what solo you would recommend doing next. I am going to ask my teacher at my lesson next week but i was curious what you would recommend.

This probably goes in the "Music" section. No matter. If you want to stick with the Classical stuff, I suppose the Dittersdorf No. 2 is the next step. You could also do the Ditters. No 1, or something Hoffmeister No. 1 or 3. The Hoffmeister's are easier than Dragonetti, but call for different bow techniques. If you don't want to do classical, then your options are rather limited, but I would go with the Koussevitzky. It's actually a fairly easy piece to learn, but stamina is a big issue.

I second the Koussevitzky.

I think the Koussevitzky is far from an easy piece to learn and something along the line of Dittersdorf Concerto 2 or a Sperger Sonata would be more along the right path

I would recommend something a little different in style... maybe some short pieces like the ravel habanera, hindemith sonata, or some modern piece like the old kings lament by nicholas maw.

maybe something Proto?

Not so much of an addition but I LOVE Dragonetti concerto. Do you happen to have a video or recording of it?

[Kaden]

I got a recording of it off itunes by miloslav Hrdlik. I accidentally posted this thread in the wrong section sorry!

In terms of learning where to put your fingers. It really isn't hard to learn, or memorize.

True, but that is also true for a ton of things. But to make music.... that is another, there are so manythings I can play as far as just putting my fingers in the right place, but that is the easy part. Making music is so much harder than just chops.

At my lesson today my teacher suggested the Van Hall concerto. Do you guys know anything about that?
