UPC: 680160918997.This mysterious hunt for ancient artifacts reveals important new pedagogical concepts, including staccato, accents, bow-lifts, pizzicato, dynamics, 4th finger, and natural symbols without using low-2 finger patterns. Composed in B minor, the piece features intriguing modal shifts while avoiding extended fingerings. Sudden and dramatic dynamic changes add excitement as students can work on bow placement, speed, and weight to achieve the desired volume. Violin 2 doubles viola and cello doubles bass for a full sound with only a little third position shifting in the bass.
