The original Taylor Swift song, known also from the Netflix series „Bridgerton”, arranged for String Quartet
In my (and my string quartet collegues) opinion it sounds better than the Bridgerton version
I recommend it for at least intermediate/advanced musicians.
Duration: around 3:00 min.
TIPS
- Cello beats: I’m usually beating the upper half of the cello’s body, with two hands (bow down). Low beats with my right hand halfway between the side of the body and the strings, high beats with my left near the side of the body. Feel free to discover other places on the body (the cello’s body ;) :D )
- Cello solo – letter ”J”: I think it sounds better on the A string, but if You have a bright D string, You can try there (the 1st violin helps a bit with pizzicato)
- Violins 1-2, bar 89: The first beat of the 1st violin should be very present, very active, then the 2nd violin should imitate it on the 2nd beat, like a fight.
- Viola – bars 91-92: You are leading! (Yeah! :D )
In general it’s better to listen to the original song before You start rehearsing. It helps a lot, nobody can write everything in the score, get inspiration from the original version!
Stop The Waste! Let’s save some trees! I’m optimizing all of my arrangements to use less paper.
This arrangement saved 4 sheets of paper per set.
