RE: Oooh, first batch of new music!

Most of the pieces I play I haven't heard before, so it is a bit of a period of discovery when I first break out the violin on it... but it also helps to be able to hear things in your head as well!

I think it is impossible to know what the original composer intended... but I can be relatively sure that they didn't want a literal reading that most "Classical" pieces get these days...
