Impulse  

Brian Balmages
Grade 0.5

For the very youngest musicians, this highly energetic piece does not use any eighth notes, is based on a one-octave D Major scale, and uses mostly stepwise motion throughout. Almost all string crossings involve an open string, and all instruments stay in 1st position. Despite these features, the music is powerful and aggressive. A great piece for first-year students!
