Springtime Sonata

This composition will incorporate terminology we have learned over the semester.
Here are the grading guidelines for this composition, which should be completed in Finale Notepad:

  • In F Major
  • In 3/8
  • 15 measures long with the B section being only half as long as the A1 section
  • Terms to be included (most will need to be added with the text tool):
    • Tempo - what is the appropriate speed?
    • Tempo modifiers - do you want it to speed up or slow down?
    • Dynamics
    • Bowing articulations - up & down bow, accents, tremolos, pizzicato, staccato, tenuto
    • "Road map" - do you need the player to go back, go forward, repeat?
DUE: Monday, May 18.  
Compositions can be printed out or emailed to DHSComposition@gmail.com.
