Panel-ready practice tips

1.Practice the moto-perpetuo sixteenths in groups of four with a drone on E: the instinct is to crescendo, but the panel wants effortless evenness.
2.Bow distribution: keep the bow in the upper third on the string crossings or you'll lose articulation by bar 8.
3.Slow the tempo to 60bpm and focus on intonation of the open-E barriolage; this is the section panels remember.
4.Record yourself and listen for the bar lines: if a panel can't hear them, they'll mark down for 'rhythmic flow' even if the notes are right.
