Quantz of the Week: Number One (Yeah, believe it or not)

As usual:



  • Level I: Good focus of tone on EVERY note
  • Level II: Add perfect intervals (tuning)
  • Level III: Add clarity of the written articulations, and make sure any articulation symbols are different from the notes that are not marked, and from those with different marks.
  • Everyone: Take the first repeat only (AAB form). 

Levels I and II: Do not concern yourself with speed or any thoughts of tempo. Focus on the 2 Ts: Tone and Tuning.

Advanced players: This is NOT a race. It is all about TUNING and clarity (gotta love those slurs!).
