Saltarello

Saltarello is one of my all-time favorites. The melody, joyous and upbeat, contrasts with a pedal like bass line that moves on the open 6th, 5th and 4th strings. The bass line resembles a horn pipe sound. Saltarello -from the Italian saltare= to jump - is an antique dance and most likely a popular pastoral tune. 
The piece is striking and trains the musician to acquire independence in his right hand thumb versus the up-pulling a-m and i. The performer should play with the timbre of the instrument to enhance the beauty of the piece. Saltarello will draw the applause from your audience...

Analysis:
You can go straight to the beginning or play a few rounds of the bass pedal to create the base for the construction of the melody. Use the open string E to move your hand to second position.
