Well done at rehearsal everyone!
What we did:
Essential Elements: 52, and 54
Fire’s Edge: be convincing! Start thinking eighth notes as soon as possible to be ready for the clapping. Have your instrument ready before you play. The notes should still be in time so listen and stick with the percussion (and look at me of course!)
Slavonic Dance: hold you notes for full value and mind the repeats. In dances like this, the repeats are vital to the composition. Even though we start with a long note, try to keep the tempo in your head so you know how fast to play the moving notes. This piece will move fast!
