Subterranean—Kathryn Griesinger. Go
underground to explore the deep, dark sounds
of the orchestra's lowest strings. A ponderous
minor theme weaves through every section of the
orchestra along with a few easy offbeat rhythms.
The absence of low second finger patterns makes
this helpful for teaching and reinforcing note-
reading on the G, C, and E (bass) strings, while also
being extremely satisfying musically.
