This fiery work showcases the low strings, with driving rhythms and syncopations. Students have the opportunity to practice both forward and backward extensions, as well as accented and off the string bow strokes. Paying close attention to dynamics and articulation will strengthen the performance. The slow, middle section will be a moment for the violas and cellos to shine, with a rich melody in their lower register. Encourage your students to dig in and light the stage on fire!
