Butterflies on the Breeze

Description

This piece depicts the magic of butterfly migration with only open strings and first finger (using all strings).  The butterflies disappear into the sky with a soft, delicate pizzicato ending.  Bowing skills include two-note slurs, staccato on the string, and hooked bowings.  While rhythmically simple, this piece incorporates a great mix of note values, making counting accuracy important.
