Cotton Candy Rag for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Explore an incredibly innovative way to use open strings and 1st finger! Using all four strings, this piece in G major can be used to teach either half position (using 2 fingers) or the backward extension of the 1st finger. Students will enjoy this good rhythmic lesson with repetitious ragtime syncopation. Presented in A-B-A form, this is a swanky addition to your repertoire!
