| Comments: Sandra Dackow Little Known Gem - Grade Intermediate. Score in set. Air for Strings is a straight forward, short, and very approachable work for string orchestra. Divisi and position work is minimal, and chromaticism is technically accessible at a comfortable tempo. There is a popular waltz flavor to the work, which opens in one key and concludes in another. Little is available for intermediate string orchestra by a composer of such stature, and this lilting piece makes for a very effective contrast when programming. |
