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. 32 is based on the aria Il mio tesoro intanto from the opera Il dissoluto punito, ossia Il Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This opera was first performed in Prague on October 29, 1787.
Il mio tesoro intanto is a famous tenor aria from Don Giovanni, in which Don Ottavio tries to comfort Donna Anna's pain after her father has been murdered by Don Giovanni.
This study is to be played in the first and third positions.
It has the following form :
- Mm. 1-7 : Phrase A, going from the tonic (D Major) to the dominant (A Major)
- Mm. 8-11 : Phrase B in A Major, modulating back to D Major
- Mm. 12-16 : Phrase C in D Major, ending in an open cadence
- Mm. 17-21: Phrase C' similar to Phrase C, but this time ending in a perfect cadence
- Mm. 22-27 : Phrase A', similar to Phrase A, but remaining in the main key of D Major
- Mm. 28-end : Coda in D Major, featuring bariolage over the three upper strings, and ending in a beautiful ascending 2-octave D Major arpeggio.
