It is obvious that young string players shouldnt have to wait until requested to play encores. The little Strings Today pieces can be played just for fun, singly or as a suite. The peppy encores can be easily played in all parts to the same degree, yet each instrument can also shine in its own: Heavy Strings calls for the cello and bass, the viola plays the solo in Where is P.? etc. Altogether, Bärenz has laid down the settings with a view to performance practice: the double bass is ad libitum, the viola ca be replaced by violin III, and the parts are on the CD-ROM ready to be printed out variably. All pieces have been marked up with a view to string technique. Strings Today ensures lots of rewarding music-making for young ensembles.
