Re: Why divisi? Re: divisi parts and another general question

[Sarah k Alawami]

I could if I wanted to, how ever Our orchestra are horrible at double stops and 
if you have let's say 10 second violins trying to play a double stop you are 
asking for trouble so normally we do a divisi, and he I think wants us to try 
it. the cello and bass will be easy actually, or shall I say easier. just 
octaves.

Tc all. and be blessed.
