Panel-ready practice tips
- 1.This Vivaldi concerto sits a fifth lower on the viola than the original violin key. Adjust your intonation reference: the open C and G strings are your anchors.
- 2.The C-string passages test tone projection at the lowest register of the viola. Lean arm weight into the bow rather than pressing with the fingers.
- 3.Baroque style: no continuous vibrato. The running sixteenth-note passages should be crisp and articulated, not smoothed.
- 4.Bow distribution on the moto-perpetuo sections: equal bow to each group of four sixteenths. Running out of bow by bar 8 is the most common early mistake.
