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 B flat Major, Op. 84, No. 33 is an Air varié [Theme and variation] on the famous English anthem God Save the King.
This study is to be played in the first, second and third positions.
It has the following form :
- Mm. 1-6 : Theme phrase A, in B flat Major, to be played with a solemn character
- Mm. 7-14 : Theme phrase B, again very solemn
- Mm. 15-20 : Variation of phrase A in rapid sixteenth notes slurred 4 or 8 to a bow, challenging the player's finger action technique
- Mm. 21-26 : Variation of phrase A, same as the preceding, but in spiccato in the middle of the bow
- Mm. 27-34 : Variation of phrase B in rapid sixteenth notes slurred 4 or 8 to a bow
- Mm. 35-end : Variation of phrase B, same as the preceding, but in spiccato in the middle of the bow
