He works with the student to capture the light, open quality of D major. This is achieved through lightening much of the articulation and being strategic with bowing choices. Professor Greensmith also encourages the student to incorporate more contrast, both in dynamics as well as in phrasing choices. He helps the student determine where the arrival points are and which notes are the most important to bring out, allowing the rest of the music to be more relaxed and flow better. He suggests that the student highlight the frequent changes in harmony by changing the character of the music or color in the sound. Throughout the class, Professor Greensmith also offers advice on technical efficiency and how to better anticipate difficult shifts. What we learn: - Capturing the lightness and openness of the key through bowing, sound, and articulation. - Creating more dynamic contrast. - Shaping the phrases and understanding where the major arrival points are. - Anticipating upcoming bow or position changes. - Knowing which notes are most important to emphasize. - Bringing out the colors and characters of the different harmonies.
