October 11, 2023 Homework Accelerando
Welcome Accelerando!
You all are starting to make some great progress! We are ready to start running Brave Fires, Cripple Creek, and Russian Dance next week.
Practice with the metronome. Many of you now are mostly playing the rhythm right but rush. Try to be on the back side of the beat.
Brave Fires:
All Instruments
mm 26: practice for rhythm. Really important that you have your part down here, as all the instruments have different rhythms here, so you can listen as much as normal to learn it in this case
Cripple Creek: 29-37. Violins/Violas shorter articulation. Everyone watch out for the rest in mm 36
Russian Dance: 25-41 for intonation! Watch out for low 2s 1st violins!
Barcarolle: Practice all the trouble spots (e.g. accidentals, slurs with string crossings, tricky rhythms)
Particular Attention to 55-End and beginning to 37 which we will be running next week
