Some notes on the Suzuki Gavotte from Mignon

I wish I'd had thought to Google Suzuki violin piece names before. This page has useful notes on the piece that Cole is playing in a upcoming recital, and sets out all the trouble spots.

THANE: [Pointing to music] See—here's a G. Your intonation is fine on it. Then, one measure later, another G—indeed, precisely the same note as before—but this one is an important G. But when you play it, it sounds like a goose is dying! "BWAAAACK".

COLE: Ha, OK. You mean this? [ Plays dying goose G ]

THANE: Yes, exactly! So? Why not play the same G, the same as before?

COLE: OK [ Does it quite a bit better ]

THANE: Yes! Another teaching moment. But with vibrato, please!

With some help from Dan Hoey, I've put up an improved version of the g4g7 heptagon game analysis.
