Why 2nd violins?

Traditional roles for every instrument

very specific attention tobowing and articulation instrings



Composite gesture









Basoon balances out entire string section















A lot of switching; for effect or for comfort?





no need to rearticulate since stringsare powerful up there; keeps the rhythmic fee ln





Where are they breathing? it’s so strange to have this in winds!Would definitely expect this to be strings

























upbow!

even though they are just accompaniment, their bowing supports the violins



So Russian









So often used winds as the bed of sound under the string melody



Lovely; conversation between cellos and winds







again, what I would put in strings put instead in winds





SO RUSSIAN!whole movement as if we just stumble into something already going onthen it passes us by subtitle: the young prince’s first dance lesson







Everything about this







This



Even with the hoc, it sounds effortfulin a way the strings wouldnt; see rehearsal 10
