Educational Collection for Domra and Piano. Piano score and part

Time has been giving evidence that Russian traditional instruments performing is tightly amalgamated with the whole Russian culture. Representing the past and contemporaneity this genre exposes spiritual life of the people, inhabitants of the vast country, their limitless abilities.

Domra is one of the participants of the Russian Folk Instruments' orchestra. Having passed the long way of suffering during the middle ages, when domrists were punished so as buffoons, it was revived by the great Russian musician Vasily Andreyev, who was making for the folk instruments legalization. Nowadays domra is widely used as the solo instrument, its repertoire is getting enriched.

Practising in the Rakhmaninov Children Music School already for many years, I decided to collect domra pieces, being on roll in classes and at concerts. These are both genuine Russian songs, authentic Western classics, etudes and large-scaled compositions, arrangements of flute and violin music. All these examples demonstrate different kinds of technique and rhythm (e. g. pizzicato, mediator playing, tremolo). Movements of the right hand are especially stipulated (up and down). Everything studied by the juniors.
