Top Classical Tunes for Violin
23 Aug 2022
Disclaimer: There are SO many of these lists online, I debated about creating one more. But this incorporates many genres, ensemble sizes, and styles, so in that sense, it's a little more unique. In the instances where I do agree with the experts, that's a good sign, as it probably means those pieces really are the most well-known, agreed-upon, true classics!
