Written for a maximum of 4 people, Strav wrote it for a 32 person chamber orchestra. 1 of 31 Unusual solo instrument used in the Vivo? Trombone 2 of 31 What is unusual about the seperate solo string group in the 'concerto grosso' style Corelli would have used 2 violins, a cello and a continuo organ/harpsichord, Strav uses 5 solo string parts and no continuo. 3 of 31 Articulation? Lots of added articulation such as bowing marks and slurs, 20th century feature. 4 of 31 What would you expect from Double Bass and Cello parts usually? In 18th century music, they usually double eachother, in pulcinella suites they cary a lot (eg. double bass has a virtuoso solo in the vivo) 5 of 31 Stopping on the violins? Violin 2 uses double and triple stopping in bars 1-4 of sinfonia. 6 of 31 What woodwind instrument is missing from the sinfonia? Clarinet, use of standard double woodwind but no clarinet. 7 of 31 How is the tutti sections emphasised in the vivo Dynamics! Adds emphasis to the change in layers of music 8 of 31 Is there a tutti section in the Sinfonia? Yes, bars 1-4 9 of 31 Stravs opinion on a constant bass line?

Full 13 of 31 What effect does the Trombone play that gives the piece a 'circus like' feel Glissandi 14 of 31 The Vivo ends with what group of players? A small group of players, just trombone cello and basses. 15 of 31 What does 'du talon' mean? Music played at the heel of the bow - unusual to have so much scripted articulation. 16 of 31 Is the double bass always playing in range?

Demisemiquavers 30 of 31 How is the Cadence at b.33 of the Vivo undermined? Strav has left out G's, makes the chord like 5b-1 rather than 5-1 31 of 31
