Product Description
Music
for beginner and first-year string players with performance in mind. Despite
this piece being playable with only open strings and first finger, the backing
track makes it sound much more complex and advanced! The following are assumed
to be learnt in advance:
Violin 1 / Viola 1 / Cello 1 / Double
Bass: Crotchets (quarter notes), minims (half notes) and dotted minims (dotted
half notes), crotchet rests (quarter rests). Open strings and first finger one
tone higher on G, D and A strings.
Violin A / Viola A (A for "advanced"): the
above plus second and third fingers making the tone-tone-semitone shape from
the open string.
Violoncello A: the above plus all four
fingers in first shape. The use of second finger is clearly marked.
As many or a few parts as required can
perform the piece, though the "1" parts have the true melody if used alone.
Admittedly the Double Bass part musically interferes with the bass part of the
backing track but is added for inclusion purposes.
The backing track adds considerably and is
essential for the performance. It can be bought separately from the same
website. If there are any problems or requests please get in touch with the
composer through his website at www.marklansom.com
