Now make up your own Breton dance tune. Use any of the notes of the A major scale
(bottom octave) ascending or descending:
~ ... -.-.... • • ••••• .... -.- ... I
Make up a two-bar phrase and then repeat it. Then make up another two-bar phrase and
repeat that. This will create an eight-bar phrase that you can play. It works best if you finish
each phrase on either an A (first finger on the G string or an open A) or an E (flrst finger on
the D string) - these are the two notes a bagpiper would play as an accompaniment.
Your teacher can adapt the piano or violin accompaniment from No. 1 of Festou Noz,
joining in the repetition of your tune in bars 3-4 and 7-8.

11. Fandango
There are two ways of counting ~ : either six quaver beats (m m) ar two dotted crotchet
beats ( J J) per bar. The second way is usually the most musical, unless the pulse is very slow.
To help you feel two beats in a bar, sway from foot to foot as you play Fandango, following the
movement of your bow. But remember to stop swaying and keep still in bar 16! ACTIVITV

16. Mattachins
In fvfattachins it is important to make the contrast between I (Ioud) and p (soft), For the I passages use lots
of bow, slightly nearer the bridge and with more pressure. For the p passages do the opposite: not quite 50
much bow, further from the bridge and with less pressure. Think of nfas your normal. comfortable dynamic.
Imagine playing this piece for dancing at the Tudor court. The final note (played p ) is when the dancers bow
or curtsy gracefully to their partners .

25. Monsieur de Caix's Fanfare
I As a warm-up for Monsieur de Csix's Fanfare, practise the broken slurs (also known as 'hooked bowing') on each of the open
strings. Here is an exercise on the A string: stop the bow on the string between the two notes.
Now practise the same pattern, but this time using string crossings, for example:
