Description
"El Toro" is a Spanish dance reminiscent of an exciting bullfight in Madrid. (El toro means "the bull" in Spanish.) After a castanet-style introduction, the theme is passed from high strings to low strings and back again. A transition leads to a stop in the action of the bullfight where the matador (a solo violin) and the bull (a solo cello) "discuss" the situation. Then the fight gradually picks up again and the theme is restated. The exciting castanet-like rhythm brings the fight to an end. (2:27) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

1st violin part was peak. I sat next to my friend so instead of one of us being dedicated to top and bottom, we would switch after the repeat to the beginning

Funny how everyone says they complained about it but secretly liked it. For my orchestra it was the opposite. We were constantly begging to play it and Mr. E would always get kind of annoyed at us lmao.
