Symphonia No. 4 in D Major William Herschel / Arr. Lynne Latham

This work is an energetic introduction to "Sturm und Drang" style written by the father of modern astronomy. Dotted rhythms, hooked bowings, and detailed attention to dynamic changes allow for many opportunities to work on fundamentals. Chromatic fingerings are a must: violin 1 uses third position, and all other parts use extensions.
