In all dance forms, thythm is uppermost. In addition to the normal accent, note the sostenuto sign (
f)
over the first note of each measure in the right hand. All slurs should be tossed of rather sharply.
Give a rather vigorous treatment throughout to suggest the clumping of the heavy wooden shoes.

The following is a study in arpeggio playing and consists of broken chords divided between the hands.
The transfer from one hand to the other must be made as smoothly as possible. Each group should
be played with a rolling motion of the hand, using the minimum amount of finget action.

Arcangelo Corelli was one of the very early Italian musicians and was recognized in his day as a great
violinist and composer. Very little is known of his life until he settled in Rome at the age of 28,
where he enjoyed the friendship and patronage of Catdinal Ottoboni, a lover of the arts in general
and of music especially.
Corelli made friends with many famous painters and his chief hobby was that of collecting valuable pictures.
His greatest wotk was the Concerti-grossi which was published only six weeks before his death.
He was buried in the Pantheon at Rome not far from the tomb of the famous painter, Raphael.
Catdinal Ottoboni erected a handsome monument to his memory and a statue of him was placed in the Vatican.
It is claimedhe laid a firm foundation for future violin technic and that his works advanced materiallv.
the progress of musical composition.
A GIGUE is an old Italian dance, played in lively tempo and it was often used as the last movement
of a Suite. It is thought that the name derived from the GIGA, which was an eatly Italian fiddle.
In the following example, be sure to make sharp contrast between staccato and legato and toss off all
slurs crisply.
Try to create an atmosphere of mirth and gaiety suggesting the dancing of happy peasants.

Preserve strict tempo and well-defined rhythm at all times.

This is a piece that can be used for recital purposes.
