While this work is denoted as Symphony No. 3, it is more likely that it is Stamitz’s first completed symphony. It is written in the ‘Manheim’ style (utilizing unique dynamic effects) and was finished sometime between 1741 and 1746. It is attributed to Stamitz; only it may have actually been completed by a close friend and contemporary composer, Antoine Mahaut, (a Flemish composer and flutist). It consists of three movements – Allegro, Larghetto, and Presto and is in the key of G Major.
The Larghetto needs to be connected smooth and ‘fluid’ throughout.
Shifting to the Allegro, be sure to bring out the moving lines in the upper voices. The lower voices (VC & DBs) need to be accentuated and cleanly articulated. Be sure to perform the dynamics with dedication.
In addition to an extensive list of publications, Dr. McCashin holds the title of Professor Emeritus, having completed 43 years of teaching at the university level.

In addition, he taught Graduate Applied Conducting, MM, and DM academic courses for conductors as well as applied violin & viola. Dr. McCashin is a string educator and an active writer/arranger in the string education field. He maintained a busy Conference presentation schedule throughout his career, making presentations on conducting technique, string pedagogy, and the Math, Science, Physics, and Physiology of String playing.
