Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Marilyn Blodget beautiful! Beautiful tone as usual. Sometimes it is worthwhile to pull out old favorites as during practice we might forgot why we fell in love with the piece in the first place and…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Blaise Laflamme Thanks! It does sounded very cut, I tried to do the loud, medium and soft for every 3 beats to give the illusion of legato but somehow didn't manage to pull it off.…
