Congratulation for you!!! From Buenos Aires Argentina

I’m working on this piece too with my youth orchestra for concerto competition, but for cello

viola is my dad

-Viola is the instrument that reigns above

What tips would you give a fellow violist?

@@drippyrick146 practice 40 hours a day

Congratulations!

Do people actually call him that? Seems insane. I don't know his other music, but this is gorgeous.

Superb.....BRAVO Maestro.....from Mexico City!

​@@thefisherking78 yes it was fraud. The casadesus brothers published it as a newly found bach piece but it turns out they wrote it. Its great work and still an important part of viola repertoire just overshadowed by a pretty big lie in the music world. It goes to show, however, how people will call something a masterpiece if it has an important name attached to it like Jackson Pollock and others who the CIA funded during the cold war.

​@@miguelmarquez4192 This is not a scam. Many 20th-century composers who wrote in a classical or romantic style had to use other people's names to avoid being bullied by music critics. And only after their composition became widely known, the musical community became aware of their authorship.

​​@@miguelmarquez4192 For example, Fritz Kreisler:

And sadly underrated

this 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I wish more violinists understood this about us and respected us more, I don't get why they see us as a lower specimen or something 😂

Yes exactly, viola is more difficult to get good tone than either cello or violin, and when it is getting good tone, it sounds better than either cello or violin.... And here, this gentleman is good, but he a bit of sizzle going on the top A string... Hmmmm❤😢

​@@MisterBarr I've played all of the usual bowed string instruments (barely any Bass but that doesn't prevent me from being able to rank the difficulty) and Bass is easily the hardest, with Viola being a little bit easier. Cello is easier than Viola by a fair bit, then Violin is by far the easiest. The best instruments would be Viola/Cello (I can't decide between the two, they're both so good!) with Bass being almost as good as them and then Violin being the worst (not BAD, just not as good. It's still better than most non-keyboard instruments)

Absolutely right. I played violin, but I couldn’t stand the E string. Eek -the Viola is much harder than the violin for me, but it’s worth it every painful minute. Our concert master said the viola would not interest him implying. It was too easy for his great skill. Ha.

I play violin and viola and I find violin much easier to play compared to viola. Tone is harder to achieve on viola but also when played well it sounds better.

There are 6 beautiful viola pieces by Sitt for viola and piano available for free on IMSLP. I am an amateur violist who just finished the Sitt pieces and am now working on this.

+Harpistry Thank you very much, I think I can speak for all of us: we are delighted you like our performance!

Very much so, thank you! I would love a copy of the score if it is available to buy or download!

Unfortunately we had to lend out ourselves the score, as it is not available in the internet...

+Mateusz Molęda From where did you borrow the score?

+Rose Alon The score came from an edition which I am not remembering more. The orchestra's librarian was taking care of all this matters, but thank you anyways for asking!

Amado Dominguez Amaro Thank you very much for your compliments! I feel very honored!

@Ron watch twoset uwu

@Ron they violonists jokes with violists as if violin was superior than viola

viola jokes r funny

Same with joke about bassists. I actually like the more mellow timbre of a viola.

This piece is so great man you’ll definitely enjoy it. I’m working on the 2nd and 3rd movements rn. Any tips for the 3rd movement?

thank you for not just putting 0:00 for the first movement. i hate waiting for the clapping to finish

THANK YOU

How was it?

How did it go?

Of course you will

Work hard enough

I try but it's not easy :\ The hardest thing for me these days is to play fast... I can't do it and it bothers me

Marwa M Things take time to get accomplished, stay resolute.

Never give up! :P everything starts making sense around 5 years in

Eyou. Cómo vienes con tu preparación?

Good luck I’m doing the second movement in January 🥹 hopefully it will sound as musical as him.

How'd it go??? have you played it yet? I'm thinking about mastering the first movement for next year's S&E; I know the notes and rhythms and can play it at a passable level but I make mistakes and it's very unrefined expression-wise.

Estou começando a tocar essa música! É muito especial (e difícil). Tenho 13 anos e faço música na extensão da UFRGS. Continue este caminho porque deixa mtas pessoas felizes

n e questão d orar e questão d práticar , deus n vai tocar por você preguiçoso

I'm in 8th grade and I used this for my all state audition :)

@@peelysl Omg. How was your audition experience like? I want to audition to a symphony orchestra, but I'm not familiar with what challenges I'd have to expect. You must be so talented at such a young age. I'm 21 and I can't be play fast on my instrument or ever auditioned somewhere.

@@peelyslhave you ever tried Telemann viola concerto in g mag?

@@Apple-ld3yc I love the Telemann concerto! it's so energetic and flowy, the first movement is so pretty. I also love the fourth movement, something about the eighth notes is encapsulating.

Thank you for your compliments!

Alan Dawson usaid

I'm looking for the same version. Did you have luck with it? 🙏

maybe check on imslp?

😭💀😂🤡

and you! the critic of the critics

What do u mean by 'foreign languages'?

se refiere a mi

i think he means all dumb and stupid people who do not speak english

haha...

The sheet music came from an edition which I am not remembering more. The orchestra's librarian was taking care of all this matters. I'm sorry that I can't help you more. Anyways, thank you for your attention!

Ken Busch no the music start at 0:02 , viola start at 0:27 ...
