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 F Major, Op. 84, No. 31 is based on two famous themes by Corelli : Gavotte and Les Folies d'Espagne.
It is to be played in the first, second and third positions.
It has the following form :
- Mm. 1-8 : Gavotte phrase A, going from the tonic (F Major) to the dominant (C Major)
- Mm. 9-16 : Gavotte phrase B in F Major, with beautiful string crossings
- Mm. 17-32 : the famous theme Les Folies d'Espagne in D minor, to be played very sostenuto
- Mm. 33-end : Variation over the preceding theme, to be played twice : first in détaché and then in spiccato
