    Circus Treats By Stephen Chin

    As the sound of trumpets fills the air, the crowd roars with excitement. The circus is a place of wonder and joy, where people of all ages come together to experience the thrill of the show. The Carousel, a waltz that shares the melodic line between its parts, is a simple yet elegant piece that teaches young musicians the art of playing off the beat. In Siberian Tigers, the strings of the instruments are struck with force to produce a robust tone that echoes the strength and majesty of the tigers that roam around in the minds of the players. Meanwhile, Happy-Sad Clowns contrasts the joyous tones of a major key with the melancholic notes of a minor key, taking the audience on an emotional journey through the familiar finger patterns of the players.

    Allegro Molto by Franz Schubert arr. Stephen Chin

    Schubert's Sonatina Op. 137, No. 1's Allegro molto movement, originally for violin and piano, has been arranged for strings, making it more accessible.

    Composer Franz Schubert was a skilled violinist who wrote over 12 string quartets by age 19. His first three violin sonatas, including Sonata No. 1 in D major, D 384, were later published as Sonatinas in 1836. The charming piece of music is relatively easy to perform.

    Schubert's "März 1816" sonata has an intimate atmosphere, perfect for a small ensemble. It features three movements: Allegro molto, Andante, and Allegro vivace. The Allegro molto is a lively and fast-paced movement, followed by a slower, more contemplative Andante. The piece concludes with a rousing Allegro vivace.
