Solemn and stately, the melodic phrases are shared between the upper strings, while the cello and bass experience the responsibility of the basso continuo, making each note a pearl of musical beauty while setting the foundation for the harmonies in the inner voices.

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)
Following the slow introduction, Beethoven's first symphony breaks into a lively and energetic Allegro, carrying listeners through a whirlwind of harmonies and keys. This arrangement authentically captures the lyricism and raw power of a masterpiece written by a young 29-year-old Beethoven. (4:00)
