Panel-ready practice tips

1.The Baroque style demands no continuous vibrato. The 'bird-calls' (trilled figures) are meant to be crisp and light, not romantic.
2.The moto-perpetuo sections require absolute bow evenness: panels time the duration of each sixteenth note against the pulse.
3.The three-voice texture in bars 50-60 implies a chord: the top note melody, the middle voice trill, and the bass line. Make all three audible.
4.Tempo at the Allegro is bright but never scrambling. A panel listening for Baroque discipline marks a rushed tempo as a loss of control.
5.The storm sections are louder but the Baroque character stays: more bow speed, not more bow pressure.
