Panel-ready practice tips

1.The opening forte chord is a left-hand frame-setting moment: be in tune or the audition starts in a hole.
2.The sixteenth-note runs must be even. Practice each four-note group with a stop on the first note before connecting them.
3.Vibrato: steady slow vibrato is more impressive at this level than fast, wobbly vibrato. Only add it if you can control it.
4.The second-theme lyrical melody is the expressive heart of the movement: project tone without forcing bow pressure.
