NOTES FOR THE PERFORMER
Venetian Violins starts with a classical string introduction. This is followed by a fast (Allegro) sequence with running violins against pizzicato strings. On top goes a solo electric guitar (Hank Marvin - Shadows sound). The middle section is in 16th Rock style with brass accents; then the main theme returns.
