Suitable for intermediate string quartets and orchestras in music schools. Technically limited but still fun and exciting to play. All pieces have both a 3.violin and a viola part. Some of the arrangements have supporting piano (suitable for violin ensembles/suzuki groups without cellos).
"I have, during several years, used many of Tvete Viks arrangements and compositions. My experiences are very good - both with the small but often very powerful pieces and the more advanced pieces. They have been used in childrens orchestras at the music school, in the youth orchestra KOZMOS and on several summer courses. One other advantage is the possibility to order arrangements fitting the ensemble you have for the moment (for example when you don´t have violas etc.).
What I have discovered, is that the compositions and arrangements always have the following ingredients of:
Being god music. Being popular among the students. Having interesting parts. Having an orchestra sound that sounds good and feels "right"! Introducing new solutions on playing techniques and effects in many of the pieces".
