First Finger Pachelbel for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Like Pachelbel’s original, this open string and first-finger masterpiece, written in D major, builds in intensity and rhythmic interest throughout. All four strings are used, and technique is very elementary with no slurs and nothing more rhythmically complex than quarters and eighths. Violas are responsible for supplying C sharps with low 1s on the C string (prominently marked in their part).
Carl Bohm (1844 - 1920) was a renowned composer and teacher for violinists. His famous pieces, "Moto Perpetuo" and "Galop," showcase double semiquavers and highlight the cellos in the latter. The work is shared around for everyone to shine.
