Hi Leslie! You did an amazing job with this piece! My orchestra is playing this piece as well, and I'm the soloist. Any tips you have to share would help me!

[PyrokeneticRebel]

I'm playing the violin 2 part, I like this song.

[VinnyEdward]

[13germanshepherd]

I wish I played cello now...

[Jihae97]

[leslieetutu]

hi!

i'm the cello soloist:)

thanks for all the nice comments! yay!

so we played this last year when i was in 8th grade, and now that i have 1 more year of experience there are some things that i would change in my performance. first, i always dim. at the tip because of the nature of the bow, so my long notes sound like waaaAAAAAAaah, which gets annoying. also intonation and bow ctrl are a bit shaky. oh well.

if you're playing this good luck, have fun! comment you want tips.

[TheLexusNight]

I'm a bassist playing the solo on this song... but after hearing it played so beautifully, I'm afraid to play it! Well done. :)

This is a beautiful piece, i am currently playing this as a first violin for a concert and can say that i am quite envious of the cello players capabilities.

[Cellosrock1]

The first chair cellist is amazing!!!!!! Her tempo and intonation are perfect. I'm so jealous. : /

[Yazitz1]

I'm playing this song, Viola, and my bow keeps slipping at the Allegro.

[AZNkommander]

Playing this right now, concert tomorrow, and I've got solo. =|

[LittleJazmin96]

OMG(: Im Playing This Song In My Orchestra!! :D

[314stargazer]

bravo!! great cello solo, we're playing this at school, but it's nowhere near as good as yours right now

[davidneff86]

Very beautiful. I'm playing the piano in this piece

[fireandblazes26]

This piece was written for us: Bridle Path and Montgomery elementary select string ensemble! WOO HOO

[DarknessWolf101]

My school played this song tonight, it was my favorite piece.

[stupidnerd101]

i don't know who this kid is, but she is AWESOME

[emikohayashi4912]

@stupidnerd101 nice try, leslie.

[fireandblazes26]

This is the best version on youtube!

[maestrong555]

Sounded very good except for the start of the climax - didn't sound together - and the half-string harmonic. The note was fine, but there was just too much vibrato for my liking, as that part is supposed to to be rather quiet I believe.

[cutie459]

im in the whiteaker middle school orchestra you guys sound good i play the 2nd violin good job

[AZNcelly]

My district honor orchestra is playing this, and I'm nominated for playing the solo! Wish me luck!

And your video really helps, by the way! It showed me some tricks where I didn't think to put the same notes on different strings! Thanks!

[Narlyparks7]

this is amazing! my class is working on this right now!

[Jennymellow]
