Allegro Moderato from Symphony No. 3 (Saint-Saens)
This movement of the famous organ symphony includes two of the most memorable themes ever penned by Saint-Saens. This arrangement includes the highly energetic string theme and the beautiful fugue based on his four note theme, which cycles throughout the entire symphony. The two contrasting sections of this arrangement offer two extremes of bowing style: one requiring heavy strokes at the frog and the other using legato, expressive, full bowing.

Allegretto from Symphony No. 3 by Schubert, arr. McCashin (Grade 3)
This expressive work aims to encapsulate the essence of serenity through its calm, moderate tempo and simple rhythms. A beautiful interplay between sweeping melodic lines and a gorgeous harmonic language provides unlimited potential for phrasing and music-making. (2:20)

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)
