Country March

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — The pulse in the opening measures continues through most ofxa0Country March. The emphasis (accentedxa0tenuto) on beat four sets the tone for the remainder of the piece. At m. 17, the ensemble should playxa0p against the solo (orxa0soli) violin. The emphatic opening figures give way to a broader interpretation at mm. 33 through 56. Attention to dynamics will only enhance the contrast between the two sections.
