I had a hack/sightread through it last night with my string group, at our usual fast and furious pace that we play everything in, and although my tone, phrasing and dynamic range left an awful lot to be desired, I managed the notes and rhythm quite well for most of it. (I'm well out of my depth in the group but it's an informal just-for-fun group, so they let me join in where I can, bless them!) thanks! Kate

However, as you've realised, it's relentless nature once up to speed, coupled with the stylistic requirements, are the real challenge. Thankfully, it's such fun to play that it can withstand a lot of rehearsal!
