Rhapsody

Firstly, you should be preparing the 2022-2023 All State Etudes, linked HERE.

Secondly, I'm fairly certain we will be playing the first movement of the Bartok Divertimento.  Check out the recording (with score) HERE.  Just remember.... I think we are only doing the first movement! (I'd love to do the whole thing but.....it is pretty long! :) 

Here is the music for that, if you lost it or are new to Rhapsody.
