VIOLINSFUN FOR 2 VIOLINS Volume 1 Revised Edition 18 well known pieces from the classical repertoire arranged for two violins by Marianne Rygner Denmark 1999Preface Fun for 2 Violins Volume 1 contains 18 pieces from the classical repertoire. As far as the first violin parts are concerned, I have strived to come as close as possible to the original score regarding the notes, phrasings and dynamics. The second violin parts are freely adapted from the original composition. For those ‘who would like to study the original scores, a list of the pieces and the composers can be found below.
