Anyone here ever play Hungarian Dance No. 5?

January 18, 2005 at 09:01 PM · We just played it, but I can't remember how we did the staccato. However, our conductor kept telling us to play it "pugly", his term for "not to pretty, not to ugly."

Sorry I couldn't be more help...

Good luck!

January 19, 2005 at 10:07 PM · Oh okay... I wasnt sure whether to keep the bow on or off the string. My spiccato is really good. Thanks for the help people. Ill rememebr not to keep it too pretty or ugly tommorrow. =P

(see thread called "Dot interpretation.)

January 20, 2005 at 04:43 AM · Yeah, I kinda know that...but staccato is not just a bowing...
