Grade 5 Violin Repertoire List

We are now firmly in early intermediate levels. Many etudes and pieces will incorporate half and third positions on the A and E strings. Use Whistler’s Introducing the Positons Vol. 1 for more practice on this. You should be comfortable with all handframes in first position. There are many delightful baroque concertos you can try, such as Vivaldi’s Concerto in G Major RV 310 and Telemann’s Concerto in G Major (TWV 51:G8). This is equivalent to Suzuki Book 4 and ABRSM/RCM levels 3 and 4.
