BRAHMS SYMPHONY #1 THEMEPg2

Performance Details

1^st Violins perform rhythms that include ties across bar-lines.

In the measures above, the second beats are slurred eighth notes. Slurs do not alter the rhythm, but do serve to connect notes in the same bow direction. Look carefully — Ties and Slurs look similar.

Placing notes on the same string enhances legato melody. Shifting presents consistent tone colors, ideal for phrasing.

Ties extend pitch duration from one measure to the next.

Below, the tie extends Beat 4 by one beat. Beat 4 + Beat 1 = 2 Beats
