Panel-ready practice tips
- 1.Hindemith's rhythmic character is the first thing panels hear: the pulse must be steady and aggressive from the first beat.
- 2.Linear counterpoint: the inner voices are as important as the melody. Practice each voice separately before combining.
- 3.Restrained vibrato on the faster passages. Hindemith panels penalize Romantic over-vibration.
- 4.The C-string passages at the bottom of the viola's range: use full bow weight and a slow bow speed to get projection without harshness.
- 5.Double stops require equal intonation on both notes. Tune the lower note first, then add the upper.
