Panel-ready practice tips

1.Dittersdorf is one of the most common high-school bass concerto choices. Panels have heard it many times: execute the details, not just the notes.
2.E major on bass: the open E and B strings are your intonation anchors. Check the G# (leading tone) and D# (seventh) against an open string every session.
3.The rhythmic figures must be clean: practice the opening bars with a metronome on the offbeats to expose any rushing.
4.Classical articulation: détaché on the running passages, not spiccato. The bass does not need a bouncy bow here.
5.The lyrical second theme: treat it as a song. The melody should be longer on each note than the technical passages that surround it.
