.This delightful piece by Georges Bizet is filled with lilting melodies and driving rhythms from beginning to end. The use of spiccato bowing will be a beneficial technique to master, and the moving bass line contains accidentals that will keep bass players active and engaged. The arrangement is almost exclusively in 1st position with the exception of a brief use of 3rd position for 1st Violins and 2nd position for cellos and basses. The presto tempo is primarily responsible for the grade 3 indication. Duration 1:30
