Allegro Moderato From Symph. No. 29, Mozart Arr. McCashin (FJH)

Composer: Rick Hirsch

Publisher: FJH Music Company

Series: FJH String Orchestra

Stock Code: ST6471

This arrangement is rich with pedagogical and musical opportunity! Written by a 16-year-old Mozart, it is in Rondo form with distinct key centers to establish hand patterns and excellent intonation. It uses sudden dynamic changes for dramatic effect, reinforces off-the-string bowing, and further develops speed and facility in the left hand. A complete package from the Classical era! (3:45)
