The French violinist, composer and teacher Charles Dancla (1817–1907) is the author of about 200 works, most of which were written for violin. His instructive opuses are of a particular value, still to this day the repertoire of contemporary violinists also includes his concert pieces. In two serieds of Airs varies (Op. 89 and Op. 118) Dancla addresses himself to popular and rare themes from the operas by G. Pacini, G. Rossini, V. Bellini, G. Donizetti, J. Weigl, S. Mercadante. Brilliant variations correspond to level of pupils of middle and senior grades of children’s music schools, therefore they became a steady part of pedagogical practice. The collection is also addressed to students of music colleges and all lovers of instrumental music.
