The first violins realize interesting harmony and descant lines, whilst inner players enjoy large swathes of the tune. Violas have a choice between an easy melody part or a transposition of the cello harmony. Performance flexibility exists – try unison melody with piano before adding parts, or just play the piece in standard string orchestra format.
