That is a very beautiful melody for the viola.

[isabellanakahara]

@1985OldSkool - Thank you. It think it is very nice on viola as well.

[markey628]

Beautiful. I think this works very well on the viola. The sound is much fuller and rich. It really shows a lament. Very well done.

Hi, this is Beautifull !!!

Your play of viola sound so hauntingly sad.

And made me wanting to cry!

[isabellanakahara]

@LaMarAzura - Thank you so much for your lovely, kind comment. I'm so glad you stopped by.

[isabellanakahara]

I'm just "pretending" that I am playing a violin.

[jtricer1973]

Just beautiful! I am learning this on violin and came across your video. What a treat, and I only hope I will after much practice sound have this good, Gave me goose bumps!

[isabellanakahara]

Thanks! It is one of my favorites.

[mountnmonkey]

Ol' Neil mustta been pretty sad to compose something like that, but it he could have known how beautifully you would play it all these years later, I believe he could have managed to smile..

[isabellanakahara]

Yeah, I think he actually stopped playing for a time and had to be talked into picking it up again. He actually had a happy life with her, but you can kind of hear it in the way he wrote it.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Ron.

[LynzM31]

Lovely! I am working on this on fiddle, and went looking for a version to listen to, and came across yours. Glad I did, it's wonderful!

[isabellanakahara]

Hi! Thank you for the kind remark... I love these laments. They are so beautiful. I hope you might post a video when you feel ready.

So glad you stopped by.

[Budsavoie]

Wonderful job!  Love the viola.

[isabellanakahara]

Thank you!  .... and thanks for stopping by.

[theominnaert]

clap clap clap :Wonderful indeed.

special the intervals are very pure,because they are not easy to play, and also your vibratos are good.I,m learning them now for the first time by my teacher,but they are also not easy to realize on the violin. Greetings from a white lined Holland (thanks to the snowfall this morning .

[isabellanakahara]

Theo, thanks for stopping by and sharing your kind words.

Good luck in developing a nice vibrato. It takes a little time, but is well worth the effort.

All the best to you, my friend.
