The Violin Collection: Intermediate Level (G. Schirmer Instrumental Library)

The Violin Collection - Intermediate Level is a classical violin sheet music collection featuring 11 pieces by 11 composers for intermediate violinists developing repertoire within third position. With works by J.S. Bach, Brahms, Mozart, Vivaldi, Schubert, and others, it offers attractive solo literature for students, teachers, and violinists seeking expressive classical pieces for study and performance.

This collection includes 11 classical selections for violin with piano accompaniment and online recorded piano accompaniments. The music remains within third position, allowing intermediate players to focus on tone, phrasing, articulation, and stylistic awareness while building confidence with authentic repertoire. The included online audio works with Hal Leonard’s PLAYBACK+ audio player, which lets users slow down tracks without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

The repertoire emphasizes musical expression and phrasing while remaining technically accessible to intermediate players. Because the pieces stay within third position, students can focus on interpretation and musicality rather than advanced shifting. This makes the collection valuable for lesson study, recital preparation, and expanding a classical violin library with well-known works.
