This book is licensed to The Yasuda Music Company LLC by the International Suzuki Association and includes pieces from Suzuki books 1B (starting with Bach Minuets) through book 3.  Melody lines from Suzuki pieces are at a smaller font with grayscale, which fulfills copyright requirements.

Also included are six non-Suzuki pieces, bringing the grand total to 30 familiar, standard pieces! You will find Bach Minuets, Gavottes and Bourrees as well as pieces by Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann etc.

The same titles are included in the versions for Two Violins, Violin/Cello, Violin/Viola and Viola/Cello.

The second viola parts are busier than most, while adhering to harmonies found in piano accompaniments.

Volume I is alphabetized according to composer names and can be used by teachers to help prepare students before they rehearse with a pianist or can actually be performed without a pianist.
