Building upon previous levels, Violin Technique, Etudes, and Musicianship 5–8 expands technical exercises to include three-octave scales and arpeggios, chromatic scales, dominant 7th and diminished 7th arpeggios, one-octave flageolets, and a mix of one- and two-octave double-stop chords consisting of thirds, sixths, and octaves. Etudes range from those by traditional composers to modern commissions that explore unique technical concepts.
