Retrospect looks to the past through two themes in an ABA form. The first lyrical theme is heard over an unrelenting, syncopated pizzicato accompaniment that gives way to a slower, somber B section. After a violin solo, the A section is heroically restated with vigorous arpeggios in viola and cello. An excellent piece for developing student shifting skills, tone, independent playing, and intonation.
