Blues

We heard the first section of Spring a piece for strings by Vivaldi, an Italian composer who we met at the start of the programme.  Here are some of the terms we learned .

 piano    soft
forte      loud
Tremelo move your bow very fast forward and back
trill        swapping between two notes very quickly to make a birdlike sound

solo       one instrument
