Midi Practice Tracks:

*These were created using MIDI with the viola part removed. I intensely dislike the midi orchestral instrument sounds, so I changed many of the instruments to the piano patch. Playing along with them provides the rhythmic stability of using a metronome while adding the framework for what else is happening in the orchestra.
