Panel-ready practice tips

1.Vivaldi's RV 93 sits comfortably on the viola's A and D strings in the arrangement. The challenge is maintaining a Baroque articulation style at tempo.
2.The Allegro moto-perpetuo sections: every sixteenth note has its own bow direction. Practice slowly with large bow strokes first, then shrink to the audition bow size.
3.The harmonic sequence passages require intonation against an implied bass line. Sing the bass line before you play the top voice.
4.Baroque ornamentation at cadences is expected: a short trill from the upper note, metric, not free.
5.At audition tempo, the string crossings must be imperceptible. Practice the crossings at double the performance tempo so the arm learns the range of motion.
