Sinfonia in G Major

A delight to hear, this piece is transposed from the original key of A major. There is a great deal of interaction among the sections. It's easier to play triplet sixteenth-note scales if you slur them, but separate bowing is more effective and dramatic. Sudden mood shifts, like shifting to minor and sudden piano, add to the drama. The viola and bass lines have a melodic shape and follow the music's phrasing and line for added interest.
