Panel-ready practice tips

1.Telemann's Viola Concerto is the defining work for the high-school viola audition circuit. Panels expect Baroque articulation discipline.
2.The opening Allegro must stay steady. Telemann's sequences are tempo traps: the repetitive patterns tempt the player to rush.
3.Vibrato is period-appropriate only on longer notes. Do not apply continuous romantic vibrato: it is stylistically wrong.
4.Ornaments at cadences are expected. The standard trill from the note above is appropriate.
5.The C-string passages test tone projection: lean into the bow rather than pressing the string.
