Tambourin – A. E. Grétry

André Ernest Modeste Grétry’s Tambourin is a lively, dance-like piece from his opera Aspasie. Characterised by energetic rhythms and rapid string crossings, the piece captures the spirited charm of the traditional Provençal tambourin dance. While rooted in the Classical era, it echoes the rhythmic vitality of Baroque dance music, making it a favourite for violinists seeking a bright and playful showcase. Its inclusion in Suzuki Violin School, Volume 8 offers a fun challenge for advanced students, showcasing Grétry’s flair for melody and rhythm.
