String Orchestra Accompaniments to Solos from Volumes 1 & 2: Score

These orchestra accompaniment pieces are arranged by Mr. Paul Schwartz and selected and edited by Mr. John Kendall. The pieces are selected from Suzuki Violin School, Volumes 1 and 2. Solo parts are to be played by a group of children, and it is suggested that when a large number of children are playing the solo part, the piano accompaniment be doubled with the orchestra so that extra support is provided. These arrangements are written at junior high school orchestra level.

Paul Schwartz has been covering the Giants in New York since 1994. A graduate of the University of Albany, he now writes for the New York Post. He lives in Great Neck, New York.
