Simple Symphony 2 Playful Pizzacato

[GamVlou]

mauvaise interpretation ...

[Staedtart]

Does anyone know where can i find a sheet music of this song?? it's for my hw!!!!

[coaski]

great

[coaski]

really good it must hurt

[HockeyGirlie26]

We're working on this right now and my whoooole section complains. Sigh. COMMON VIOLAS.

[browncoatkevin]

Yeah, it's a tough one for the old right index finger (and thumb when the cellos are strumming those chords)... especially playing it in a far too oversized concert hall - this movement basically requires a small space in order to be heard. Despite being "painful", the pizzicatto ends up playful in the end.

[alvinpiggy]

wow how old are you guys?

[DarkAssassin2259]

We played the first two pieces for our christmas concert. We're playing the last two for spring. I hate the 3rd the most. too slow...

[Tommyfazz]

in-parts it sounds like a banjo! ; )

[themufasamonkey]

my orchestra is probably gonna play this along with the other three peices, but were gion' guitar style XD

[IevaMeskauskyte]

Do you hear ? that is non rhythm. they have to practised more before go on scene.

[caitididwhat123]

my orchestra is playing this piece this year and we found it much easier to maintain the tempo as well as stay together if the chin instruments played guitar style, so we pizz with our thumbs instead of pointer fingers. it gives us a lot more control and we don't have to work so hard to get from string to string. But you guys did an awesome job! great work! =]

[crazytomato520]

my orchestra is playing this piece this year also!! ^^

[MrMrkane]

i love this piece, i play double bass and although pizzing does get tiring, i still love playing this piece

[PoniesandDaffodills]

Not too tiring :) I like the trio part, it's my favorite to play in the movement

[sonicest]

tell me about it. i hate pizz-ing. arco is my thing

[AJO2106]

LOL@ Pizzacato. It's pizzicato, and has nothing to do with pizza :-)

[vionxisxmyxlife]

I think it should be faster, but I can't tell if you are doing this, but it's easier to pizz if you put your right thumb on the corner of the fingerboard, you know, the end of it, and then it's easier to pizz that way and faster too.

but I love playing this song!

[erickaalexis]

we're not even close this tempo and my finger hurts really bad after this song

[crazymaniac100]

ummm i'm pretty sure this needs to be faster. but good job anyway

[CriticF101]

On the score, the tempo is set to as fast as possible, so there is really no set tempo

[AutumnOddity]

@crazymaniac100 "Presto possibile." XD

[MomijiLover93]

we're playing this symphony in our orchestra and it's kinda difficult to get used to pizz.-ing with two fingers(i can't really tell if that's what you guys are doing or not) but this sounded AMAZING=)) good job!

[jjparents]

One of my favorite string pieces. Good job!!!

[TheTheifInYourHead]

my comment is the same as for the first movement, and that this is at practice speed

[needler783]

I loved playing this entire set of tunes for high school orchestra.

[photonXspark]

lol that's one thing I'm working on. breathing haha. I just forget sometimes =P

[TheFirebat90]

actually, the best thing to ensure that this piece is played well is to make sure that every person keeps the beat and that moving is always essential to playing together and on time, without the need to rush. :)

[photonXspark]

for sure lol

this guy doesn't conduct orchestras though. It was a last minute job for him. But considering the facts, I think we did fairly well =P

[Ulbers5]

do not rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[photonXspark]

I know! Ugh! lol

I admit I rushed a little on a set of triplets. =P

It was hard to stay together sometimes. The ages of the players ranged from being in middle school to WAY beyond college graduate.

[Ulbers5]

as a violinist and a student in the royal welsh college i have to say that pizzicato is probably the easiest thing to rush! a helpful thing might have been to try and fir words to the rhythm! eg. "i think this is beef in my bread" it's what i used to do when i played this!

[photonXspark]

Ahahahaha! OMG lol

usually I say "trip-o-let" in my head

haha beef =P

I think that particular phrase would confuse the hell out of me lol

[Ulbers5]

i know it sounds totally stupid but i works! trust me! lol

[photonXspark]

but it has only eight syllables. How does that work for you? lol

[roach1227]

Are there any bass's?

[photonXspark]

there was like, one or two I think lol The recording isn't all that great =P

[fini52]

wow

this is really good

my music school's orchestra is performing this next week and this is the hardest movement in my opinion...

the pizzacato really hurts xD

[alexsayal]

this playful pizzcato is really hard. It starts to be tiresome, it's true!

[photonXspark]

yea I had to use that particular technique for this song. Thankfully there was no bow usage in this song haha

[Awo022]

how did you get this played, in total there are so many pages, when we play the third part we continue stop playing during the rehearsel to switch the pages :S

[photonXspark]

We had at least two people to every stand, that way someone could turn the pages while the other plays a few measures from memory.

[Awo022]

hahahah smart

[Jeffcityz]

I am playing this song as a cello player at school.

[violinrocks]

well, all the movements, not just this one.

[violinrocks]

im playing this in my orchestra ^^

[BrutalNightmare]

Their are falling apart!Too bad!

[photonXspark]

yea, like I said in one of the other songs from this performance, we had never rehersed with this guy and he was really hard to follow.

[aliciapalmer91]

we called this one the hamburger peice because your fingers felt like raw hamburger at the end.

[photonXspark]

haha very true. my fingers were more stiff, than raw though. But you are correct when you mean that it's bad for your fingers =S haha
