Wild Goose Crossing the Ocean
X:1
T:Lost Goose
N:From the playing of Eck Robertson (1887-1975, Borger, Texas)
M:C
L:1/8
R:Listening piece
Q:"Very Quick"
N:The piece is imitative of a goose honking--the 'd' to 'g' interval inthe 2nd and
N:sixth measures is the 'honk', especially if a little too much pressure is put on the
N:bow on the 'g' note, so that it scratches just a bit. The harmonics in the 1st, 2nd,
N:5th and 5th measures are played on the 'G' string, 1st position, with the 'd' harmonic
N:produced with the 4th finger, and the 'g' harmonic with the 3rd finger where the 'C'
N:note usually is.
