Charles Dancla, Studies Opus 84 : 36 Études mélodiques et très faciles pour violon [36 Melodious and Very Easy Studies for the Violin].
Dancla composed these Studies Opus 84 for the violin, and a transcription for the viola also exists.
These Studies Opus 84 by Dancla are often among the first ones studied by young violinists and violists.
This Study in D Major, Op. 84, No. 29 is based on La Chasse du jeune Henry [Young Henry's Hunt], the overture to the opera Le Jeune Henri composed in 1797 by the French composer Etienne Nicolas Méhul.
It is to be played in the first and third positions and is written for the most part in double stops.
It has the following form :
- Mm. 1-12 : Main theme A in D Major, entirely in double stops
- Mm. 13-19 : Contasting section B, a simple bucolic melody with slurred eighth notes (no double stops)
- Mm. 20-end : Coda in D Major, featuring D Major arpeggios, double stops and 3-note chords in down-bow.
This energetic study is preceded with an exercise featuring the rythmic pattern of a quarter note followed by a rapid eighth note, in the key of D Major.
