Playing Possums

Mazel Tov! is a festive piece in Klezmer style, a genre of music from eastern Europe in the Jewish tradition.

This piece is based on a 4-note ascending & descending scale across the D & A strings, with a gradual adding of harmony lines throughout.

There is a steady building of dynamic level from the mezzo forte opening theme to the forte ending, providing a key learning point on bow weight and speed.
