n n myself and myself as I play both:)

Crispy Nuggets r/whooooosh

n n very true but it’s originally for violin and cello which sounds significantly better through octave difference

That is very 2Set of you but it isn't really that hard if they can play the piece and are neither made petty by some kind of silly jokes.

ツツ ASharpp That's not as uncommon as you might think. It's true that violas tend not to shift as much as violins, but once you get to fourth or fifth it makes a lot more sense to just write in treble.

still too fucking hard :P

Gary Allen what about cellos? We use three clefs, and no one talks about that

69 SUBSCRIBERS WITH NO VIDEOS Can you explain to us why the viola sucks?

I've done that as a cello player too

agree, screw those viola jokes

indeed

Criminally underrated

I have a question, at 1:35, there is a triplet on two notes, how does that work? My notation software can't do that. Please answer

@@karen2. that's related to fingering and more counting than triplets because (i play viola and violin) the fingerings there so the reader/musician reads it like a triplet for the hand but if come out like a normal 4/4 phrase, I.E it's not really a thing in most music It's also old fashioned by quite a bit

Ozzie Wagner lol

Great story, lol.

Tom and Jerry!

also 2:34

Ozzie Wagner Perfect comparison!!

Dominik R you better not

Yes thank you we work our butts off

It is.

Sounds a bit like an accordion

+ViolaVerity That's how I learned to sight-read. A lifetime of listening with score in front of me. BTW, the viola is my favorite instrument. Do you play both violin and viola? (Nice picture. ) Take care.

Sight-reading is such an essential skill. I wish it was more appreciated! Yes, I play both 'shoulder strings'. I started on the violin, and then changed to viola 30 years ago, influenced by teachers Elizabeth Turnbull and Richard Crabtree (find him on KZfaq), and have loved it ever since. The viola is so versatile. Do you play both too? Thank you for your complementary comment on my picture. It has been said that I look somewhat smug, but I think I can be excused as I have got a viola and a violin on my lap.

+ViolaVerity Violas 4 life

viola, huh? I kinda wanna play it, but where should I start from? (I've already played violin and it seems like my hands are too small for a viola) ._.

You don't need giant hands for the viola. You could start with a violin strung as a viola. The C string won't be as good as a larger viola, but maybe a good place to start. There are also manufacturers who make smaller actual violas that are thicker than a violin of the same length. Hope that helps you a bit.

HAHA I know what episode you're talking about

Marcos Camargo I need to see that maybe he'll get enough money to chill with cheap

holy crap ur right

Mr. Krab (singular)

I'm only in 9th grade and I can play the full viola part

+Filipino Dragons good for you same but in the violin part

+EDUARDO NIEBLA +Choco Cat You guys should meet up and play it together

@@isabellapineda4465 I'm in 10th and I'm practicing it

@@yeshuali that would be cool lmao

I can’t imagine that at all

​@@M_SCjust search for it, it actually works

sry lol

This is one sacrilegious piece

Youre a man of culture as well I see

godamn.. 2 set fans everywhere :)

The song is already in b flat major smh

@The Rich Series oh sorry g major is relative key, parallel key is b flat major.

My favourite bits are from 2:25-2:45

the double stops at the end tho are annoying

Hahaha kill meeee

Do more arm exercises

@@zjschrage wym the end is the best

Firevulkannn Evah Pirazzi and Obligato tend to produce a very warm sound

Gut strings or Gut Imitation strings tend to have more warm sounds

Perlman always plays on Tomastik Dominants. The modern version of gutstrings en very reliable.

So from experience as a music major myself it tends to be 5% of the strings and 80% from the bow arm. I would relax your arm but be sure that you’re using your pinky, thumb, and middle as a way to hold and furthermore lighten the effort on your strings. It’s quite hard to get use to but after a few good weeks of practice your tone should improve dramatically!

English: ight ima head out

viola always suffers didnt you know

@@kungfuviolist7284 agree lol

​@@pyotrilyichtchaikovsky9507 the

Those are just the hard parts for everyone. Were you trying to brag? Cause it didnt work

@@luismorelos1334 bruh. How are theg bragging? They just stated thats that hard parts for them.

@@tea3175 I'm just saying, IF they were trying to brag, it didnt work. I didnt say they definitely bragged.

1:39-1:57 are a matter of bow control and shifting with knowledge of your scales. 2:42-2:53 is a bunch of harmonic scales and what not, so thw finger patterns are going to be weird. 4:30-5:31 requires knowledge of scales with agility from the bow and left hand. But the part with all the turns shouldn't be that hard. The treble clef part requires mastery in shifting. 6:00-6:03 is one quick scale. Sight reading it may be a little hard, but with slow practice, it won't be a biggy. 6:10-6:27 is just bow control. The lower and double stops share the top and bottom note, respectively. For example, the music says GE EC EC GE (double stops) wouldn't require anything but bow control, since they share the note E (on D string) and it's just a C Major triad, it's really practice with the finger placement.

@@luismorelos1334 i dont think he was tryna brag lol

Slow practice and practicing shifting/finger positions is all I got bud. Best of luck learning this!

TheExarion thank you very much!

Sevcik

Try doing one at a time and combine them and figure which hand position works is what ive been doing

xD yo vengo por eso :v xD

I just came from playing Praeludium and Allegro on my violin, and I might play this as a duet on viola with my friend. I love this piece so much, and P&A, but I don't see much resembelance

I just feel like similar progressions and phrases at some parts, I think especially by the piano's part. But my mind is also imaginative and wild so I may very well be grasping at straws xD

Yes

This is subjectively easier

(if you don't play the last 1.5 minute :D)

so intensely imaginative creative

Sofie Coolness I would say it's pretty advanced. At the very least upper-intermediate. Of course, with enough practice I'm sure you can play it! :)

+Sofie A. ...advanced.

+Sofie A. This is probably as hard as it gets. (Physically) The only music thats harder is by Paganini.

Noah Mendez Oh boy... you really need to expand your library of violin music. For example, just look up Brahms's Hungarian Dances for violin.

+TheExarion Oh, yes. I've played almost all of them; although they're difficult, they're moderately average when you compare them to other works in the Romantic era. For example, the aforementioned: Paganini or some works by Mendelssohn. That being said, they're all 'hard' pieces in their own right. But this passacaglia is definitely not an easy song to play by any means.

The music's available on imslp.org :)

TheExarion thank you!

you need secondary dominants

its a quintfall sequenz

This is like a foreign language, can’t wait to learn more music theory

@@mrswag535 I can be of help. I Will write his progression into chords for you.

@@mrswag535 Cm - Fm- Bb - Eb - Ab- d diminished - G7 Edit: Oops just realised the actual chord sequence is already shown. Sorry!

but the piano tiles version is much faster since it does sound like piano

No podría hacer nada uno sin el otro en esta pieza, es claramente una conversación constante, no hay que pensar como ellos por separado si no como conjunto

@@Vicexd2070 Eso es bastante claro, como conjunto son una maravilla, pero igual bastante gente dice más cosas sobre el violín que de la viola.

Así es.

Pues, el Violín es más popular que la Viola. No es ninguna sorpresa

Viola gang :D

遅くなりましたが、教えて頂き、ありがとうございました。

Hmm, I'm not sure! Although, I wouldn't be surprised if someone were to see it that way :P

ahaha

To some people it may be, but for some people it is all unique.

Handel's original Passacaglia was a theme and variations based upon the circle of fifths.

That’s the definition of a passacaglia-a continuous ground bass with variations in the melodic line-pachelbel’s canon in D is another example

there are versions for violin and cello but it is originally written for violin and viola

Jennifer Paredes hi, you can download the partes on Imslp, its free xD

Axel Ytreberg this is a variation on an original theme by Händel
