This light, incidental music provides a wonderful change of pace in two contrasting movements. Beginning with the lyrical Pavane, students explore wonderful harmonic changes without emphasis on technique. As the second movement begins, a delightful carefree character comes out and is sure to charm your audience and provide many wonderful musical opportunities for your students.(1.00)
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)
