Quantz of the Week: Number 7

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!). Don't make me bring back the Team and Individual Time Trials . . .
