Panel-ready practice tips

1.The Accolay is a technique display piece. Panels are testing bow control, tone production, and first-position intonation.
2.The opening phrase is often rushed. Practice with the metronome at 80% of performance tempo until the rhythm is stable.
3.Vibrato: present but not excessive. At this level, controlled narrow vibrato is more impressive than wide, fast vibrato.
4.The double-stop passages are the hardest part — practice each voice separately before combining.
5.The ending cadenza-like passages need a clear sense of arrival at each phrase end. Don't trail off.
