Music for String Groups.
Adaptation of a piece from Hey Presto! for violin, book 1 Bronze. Straightforward rhythms and simple notes using up to 3 fingers, no slurs. Like Sad waltz, this makes an ideal complement to a faster piece, and calms nerves, as it also starts with open strings!
Essential parts:
Violin 1 – open strings and up to 3 fingers
Piano accompaniment (approx Grade 4)
Optional parts:
Violin 2 – open strings, short section in middle using 1st finger
Viola 1 – open strings and up to 3 fingers
Viola 2 – open strings with a single 1st finger note
Cello 1 – mostly open strings and 1st fingers, and one short phrase also using 3rd and 4th fingers
Cello 2 – open strings with a single bar using 1st fingers
Double bass – open strings, 1st and 4th fingers
