Hi everyone,
I am starting to plan my next symphony, for a standard orchestra.
I am having trouble with knowing what difficulty to make the second violin parts.
The 1st violins play semiquaver triplets, with 6 to a beat at 90MM (ish.)
I have been told this is okay for 1st Violin, but should I give a part of this speed to the 2nd violin/viola? The other thing I thought of doing was dividing the sections, and having the other half play pizzicato on every quaver. Would doing this cause the strength and resonance of the strings to be lost under the winds?
