A true classic that has stood the test of time, written by one of the great composers of the Renaissance. 

Skill Builders

Musicality: The long slow melodic lines require good bow control and a conscious effort to continue the phrase. The final note is special with its minor cadence, unusual for the time.

Left Hand: The key of G minor means we have to remain in the half position. The third finger on the Eb is new and needs enough weight to fully stop the string.

Right Hand: Many phrases begin on a down bow, which doesn't always feel natural. Work on setting the bow down at the frog calmly, with no bounces.
