This piece, written in 3/4 time throughout, evokes visions of dancing figures, their faces unrecognizable in the shadows created from the play of light at dusk. Moving from D minor to E minor, the eerie keys and accidentals provide intriguing effects. Teachable moments abound for low 1st finger on A and E and some high 3rd finger in upper strings, augmented intervals and extended patterns in all instruments, as wells as slurs and hooked bowings. This piece can be performed any time of the year, or as an autumn or Halloween feature!
