Half-Past-Three-Blues – this piece of music – performed with a “swing” – expresses a pleasant, idle mood, like lying in a hammock on a very warm afternoon in summer. This composition is ideal to train first shiftings. While the parts of violin 1, viola 1 and cello 1 include challenging passages (up to the 3rd/4th position), the parts of violin 2, viola 2 and cello 2 can be played by students in the first or second year of learning the instrument. These parts also contain pleasing melodies apart from accompaniment. Technique required: Vl. 1: 1st and 3rd position Vl. 2: 1st finger pattern in the 1st position Vla. 1: all finger patterns in the 1st position Vla. 2: 1st finger pattern in the 1st position Cl. 1: 1st – 4th position Cl. 2: extended 1st position DB.: 1st position
