Runaway Fingers

Watch those runaway fingers as they travel up and down the necks of your instruments in this easy, light string orchestra work. Based on a simple stepwise motive in D major, this piece is a fun finger workout with irregular phrase lengths, clever use of pizzicato, and a melody that seems to spin out of control while remaining in first position. A variety of dynamics and articulations ensure that the music stays engaging as a concert piece as well. It truly puts the "fun" in "fundamentals"!
