Teaching NotesDiscovering Atlantis is excellent for players beginning to explore cannon style structures and aids in the entire groups ability to listen effectively to one another and play effectively as a whole. From the outset there is a very clear conversation between Violin and Cello sections - both parts need to be balanced. As other instruments enter, the statements in each voice encircle one another as the music builds. The middle section modulates to D major and is broader in its scope allowing the music more space to breathe. Be sure to make the most of the dynamics. Players should aim to shape phrases in this section carefully and allow the melody to soar. Ensure tempo markings are observed as the final section in D minor returns. Serial Number: 2782-2 |
