We like to assign our students these kind of virtuoso pieces, and they always love them! They present technical challenges like left-hand pizzicato, harmonics, double stops, less usual bow strokes and other violin tricks. The following list shows 10 of them, sorted by difficulty, that we have arranged to be played with a second violin accompaniment. The first 6 pieces are more like children pieces and the last 4 ones for advanced students or professionals:
