Re: Resphighi Feste Romane Solo
Lucina...? Might you be THE Lucina I know as in violist, as in Alabama Symphony, Aspen, Juilliard, etc.? This is Victor as in bass-player. If so, that would be a most delightful coincidence; if not, my humble apologies.
Yes, tremolo is the standard technique for that excerpt. I will look at it more carefully. By yet another remarkable coincidence, this piece is on my daughter's "listening list"; the CD is sitting right on her desk as I write this note. (She expressed the curiosity, "What else did Respighi write?" since she was first enthralled with the clip from Pines of Rome in Fantasia 2000.)
If you have the music already, please scan it and email it to me as an attachment; if you are the one I think you are, you have my address. I should then be able to offer you some practical suggestions regarding fingering, etc. On the other hand, there are several, professional-grade mandolinists on this forum (i.e. much unlike Hack Me ) who might be able to give you far more expert advice than I ever could.
Welcome aboard!
Cheers,
Victor
