| Description: Originally a piano showpiece, this rhapsody is a progression of folk melodies in the form of a “czardas”, a traditional folk dance that begins slowly and moves toward a fiery conclusion. Students should pay strict attention to dynamics and articulations, with staccato eighth notes performed off the string. Careful bow distribution is required to maintain the integrity of the musical phrasing. |
