Gulpy the Goldfish for String Orchestra by Anne Svendsen
Here’s an easier work that can teach basic syncopation. In fact, you can teach most of the syncopation in this work with the words, “Gulpy The Goldfish.” It’s simple and enjoyable for players and audience alike.
Mozart composed over 30 violin sonatas during his lifetime. Among these works, only one sonata stands out for being entirely in a minor key. This particular sonata is known for its dark, brooding and energetic nature. It also features spiccato and martele articulations, which were crucial to the Classical style of music. This piece is appropriate for Grade 4 string orchestras.
