A curious child climbs up to the attic and discovers a jumble
of boxes, trunks, old clothes, and dusty junk. There, a black
leather case catches her eye. She pries it open and finds inside
an old violin—her grandmother’s from high school. Sitting on the floor,
she tunes the strings and tightens the bow. As she draws the bow across
the strings, the violin becomes alive with music. To her delight, she
discovers more and more treasures in the attic. Staccato rain plays on
the roof just above as she looks through her trove of riches, playing a
new melody with each discovery...
John Walker has composed a new series of short recital and study pieces
set in a magical world. Specially designed for the intermediate-level
musician, these 20 works evoke the spirit of musical discovery while
helping students learn new phrasing, fingerings and articulations. A
welcome addition to every student’s library, this musical adventure will
both teach and entertain.
