Thanks for that, been working on the crescendo for a few hours, here's what I've got now:
I decided to take the viola and cello up to forte also seen as they are carrying the melody.
I have some questions about assigning music to players.
As you can see I've labelled flutes 1 and 2, and I'm pretty sure I've got them the right way seen as flute 1 comes out on top.
The bassoon parts are confusing me, seen as the instrument that plays during the crescendo ends up playing the lower note of the octave. So I'm not sure whether this part should be assigned to player 1 or 2.
Oh, I also have a question, how do the players know how loud to build their crescendo and how quickly? Do they have to kind of look ahead in the music?
Thanks.
