Knight's Quest 1-19.

​Knight’s Quest Tempo is 120 is the Quarter Note

• Mark all dynamics with a number value and highlight the dynamics
• Tune the beginning and pay attention to the dynamics  1-5 is piano with a crescendo at measure 6
• Measures 39-44 work on getting the timing together
• Measures 45-59 tremolo timing isn’t correct so we need to get it together.

 
Little Symphony Tempo is 112 is the quarter Note

• Check the intonation at 43-48 (some are playing f# and it is a f natural (low 2)
• Measures 48- Tune and work on equal bows with the down down marking in vln 2-bass part and again at measure 51
• Measures 52-55 Tune parts with accidental d#
• Exaggerate the Dynamics throughout!

 El Toro Tempo is Quarter Note is Equal to 150 we will try to work up to (160) Mark the D.C. Al Coda as well as the Coda so that you are in the correct place in the music

• Bigger Dynamics throughout
• Bass timing is very important and we keep getting off
• Measure 20 viola and cello need to work on cleaning the measure and playing together and again at 23
• Measure 53 is a BIG SLOW DOWN Watch and Mark it so that you aren’t speeding.
• Measure 57 WATCH! It starts slow and we get faster and back to the original speed at the D.C Al Coda
