AT A GLANCE:
KEY: D minor
TIME SIGNATURE: 6/8
MELODY: Shared through all parts
BOWING: basic slurs - follow the suggested patterns on page one throughout the piece.
RHYTHM: often unison rhythms which create a strong drive to the piece
PERFORMANCE NOTES:
Exploring the Gnomes Cave is a great piece to liven up a concert! Keep the pace steady and if possible follow the suggested bowings in bars 1-10 throughout the entire work. Consider giving the opening 8 bars to a solo cello rather than the entire section - this is especially effective if there is a more advanced cellist to feature. Aim for clear rhythmic articulation and detailed expression.
