Okay, admittedly, I kinda took the easy way out. I didn’t compose a new piece for this week. But I did transcribe/arrange the melody from Tchaikovsky’s String Quartet No. 1, the “Andante Cantabile.”

It has many challenging aspects to it, not least of which is the overall range of the melody, and some unusual intervals (hello, tritones). I have also added various dynamics and articulations that may not be totally true to the original, but should make for good sightreading practice.

I hope you enjoy!
