This book, however, is complete in itself and can be used in conjunction with any String Method. It is carefully prepared in such a way that it can be played by 1) String orchestra. 2) String quartet, or any combination of strings, provided the piano part is used, For example, combinations might be two violins and viola; violin, viola and cello, etc. However, when played by string orchestra or string quartet, the piano is ad lib. To the player: to derive the greatest enjoyment from playing chamber music, you will want to train yourself to do the following: : 1. To Sight Read. You must memorize the sensation of reading ahead. In this way you will be widening your peripheral vision. Play one measure~look away~and try to play as many notes as you can in the next measure. Practice this regularly to improve your sight reading. 2. To Develop a Beautiful Tone. Listen carefully to your own playing. Do not allow any tone to be scratchy. Avoid touching two strings, Experiment by finding the best possible lane in which to draw the most beautiful tone, It might be in the center; between the bridge and fingerboard; nearer to the fingerboard, or nearer to the bridge, depending upon how loudly you play and how quickly ‘you draw the bow, 3, To Develop Tone Color. Practice playing loudly, and playing softly. You might practice this with scales or with lines in this ‘chamber music book, You must also learn to play gradually louder, and gradually softer. Learn how to accent certain notes by applying a bit more pressure, and by drawing the bow a bit faster at the start of the note. 4, To Play Musically. Try to find out where each phrase begins, and ends. Does it begin on an upbeat or does it start on the beginning of 2 measure, does it start in the middle of a measure? Many times you will allow a slight pause (or breath) before you start ‘the new phrase. To play musically, you will play the last note of many phrases a bit softer than the previous note. Listen carefully to. your partner. If you have the melody, play just a bit firmer. If your partner has the melody, play a bit softer. However, when both parts move together in thirds, sixths, or in octaves, the dynamic level should be the same, CONTENTS Piaso student Piano student poe Sass wee Spase 1. Three Rounds (Old English)...
