Description
All string parts are written in rhythmic unison and use rhythms typically introduced to beginning students. The first three selections only use open strings, and the remaining selections include "E" and "F#" on the D string (see chart below). Pizzicato is used to add variety to some selections. All of the melodies and harmonies have been carefully analyzed to insure fidelity to the original.
