| String
Quartet and Piano and Strings Workshop:
Each week one work for
string quartet and one work for piano and strings will be scheduled
for special attention. Any participants who wish to be coached on
these works should prepare a part in advance, including numbering the measures in their parts and score. The Works of the Week selected for the 2007 season are listed below, with the total number of measures in each movement given to aid in preparing for rehearsals.
Those who would like to form a group for one of the Works should so indicate on their application form. Lists of interested players will be distributed in late Spring.

*A pre-numbered Eulenberg score of the trio may not follow the conventional numbering system of not counting partial first measures or first endings.
**In the W. Hansen edition of the Nielsen second movement (Minuet), the flute and oboe parts have a da capo after bar 71, while this section is written out in the other parts.
Following the guidelines, clarinet, bassoon and horn should number this reiterated section as bars 1-43, followed by a coda numbered starting with '72'.
