Influences

I play second violin in a professional community orchestra. The voicings of the second violin as written by the great classical composers have shaped my approach to melodic structure.

Thanks to John C for teaching me about entertainment value.

Thanks to Marlon G and Joe A for showing me how parts are developed and woven together.
