Panel-ready practice tips

1.This Küchler arrangement sits in a comfortable register for the viola. The challenge is producing an even, resonant tone in first position.
2.The D-major scale passages: tune each shift against the open D string. The third-position landing should ring sympathetically.
3.Bow arm: maintain a consistent contact point throughout. The viola's C-string wants a slightly slower bow than the A-string for the same dynamic.
4.Keep the tempo steady at the ornaments: ornamented notes should not slow the pulse.
