Composed for the author's granddaughter, Faith, Faith's Waltz is in the key of G Major and is a good opportunity to reinforce the scale and its fingering, while playing in an ensemble preparing for a performance. It provides good practice for the violins and violas "0-1-2-3-4" finger pattern on the G and D strings as well as a two-octave scale for the violins and a one octave scale for the violas and basses. All have a chance to play the melody. The focus should be on a legato, cantabile style. Enjoy and have fun.
