Panel-ready practice tips

1.Vivaldi's G-minor cello concerto arranged for bass is an octave lower than the original. The bass's natural resonance in G minor is a stylistic asset.
2.The moto-perpetuo Allegro sections: the bass needs more bow per note than a cello for the same pitch level. Plan bow allocation per phrase in advance.
3.Baroque style: no continuous vibrato. The sixteenth-note running passages should be crisp and defined. Blur them and the Baroque character disappears.
4.The melodic Adagio: project a singing bass line with arm weight, not pressure. The bass can sing if the bow arm is relaxed.
5.Intonation on the harmonic sequences: practice each four-bar sequence with a drone on the sequence's implied bass note. The sequences return several times: get them in tune once and they will be reliable.
