Prestadigious Pizzicato

Creative use of eighth-note rhythms, scale passages, simple counterpoint and a short fughetta give this original work lots of interest and teaching possibilities with the developing string group. This is a strong piece that will give variety to your program.

Program Notes

This is an enjoyable piece that presents the novelty of all pizzicato for the pleasure of both players and audience. Even while relying on all pizzicato, the piece does manage to explore different textures to provide interest and structure. This is a strong piece that will give variety to your program.
