I played this song last year with my 8th grade orchestra class and it was everyone's favorite song. We played it (almost) perfectly. I had the 2nd violin duet part :3 (the lower pitch one). I have the whole song memorized, I love it so much! :D

[HellfireXChaotica]

I used to play a violin but really didn't think I was very good at it so I ended up quitting. But hearing this brought back memories tonight while I was reading an old book that was a favorite of mine a while back. But when I saw the clock then it was 10 o'clock. Now it's 6 in the morning and I think I nodded off while listening...

[StandUpNow13]

I am playing this song with an orchestra and we play it like 2x faster

[mcflysos]

@StandUpNow13 Yeah my orchestra did the same thing.

[KagamiSW]

Violas FTW. ;D

[58akdude]

[feuermannloveex3]

we just did this in all city : middle school orchestra . i fell in with it <3 <3 <3

[jthameschoir]

oh this is so beautiful. were playing this in my orchestra and for my schools talent show.

[MiaLuvsKisses]

I dont get how anyone would wanna be cello/viola... Of course they sound better than violin but the violin is a lead part. Who the heck wants be known as back up?? Ew, and bass is just ew, disgusting, and too low. SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANY ONE. I REALLY LOVE THOSE INSTRUMENTS, BUT IT JUST HAD TO BE SAID!

[sweetcupcake34]

@MiaLuvsKisses gee i think we get the point, don't have to put down others that may like to play the cello or the viola. that's the person's choice of what instrument they want to play.

[MiaLuvsKisses]

@sweetcupcake34 I just dont get it, if everyone wants to be a lead part in a movie or play, why not an orchestra?

[sweetcupcake34]

@MiaLuvsKisses well not everyone's gonna get a lead, everyone's different. there's some people that don't want to be lead. when i took dance classes, i did ballet, then i tried tap and jazz to try'em out. and i didnt get into tap much, i enjoyed ballet & jazz more, but i'm not gonna tell other people they can't do tap dance just because i didnn't like it.

[MiaLuvsKisses]

@sweetcupcake34 Lol thanks. Im an actress, and my main goal is just BE A LEAD. So its hard to think people want it other ways in life sometimes...

[GabriellaVirredici]

@MiaLuvsKisses lol i understand. i play violin and im like basses never get to do anything

but last month my class played this song called basses loaded and the basses got the WHOLE song it was sooooo boring lol we didnt even take it so seriously. but i REALLY love cello i wanna learn and i PLAYED viola in 7th grade because i didnt have my violin (my sister was using it) so i used that for a couple months...it was boring -_-

[MiaLuvsKisses]

@GabriellaVirredici finally someone who agrees. Im 3rd violin, same parts as everyone viola, so its boring.

[GabriellaVirredici]

@MiaLuvsKisses lol i played that in 7th grade bleechh then other than that i was always first lol now in high school im 2nd :/

[MiaLuvsKisses]

@GabriellaVirredici Im in second now. YESS!! 1 violin higher..

[GabriellaVirredici]

@MiaLuvsKisses haha congrats!! keep it up!

[GabriellaVirredici]

@chocolateluvrable265 Yep it is

[Generett]

@chocolateluvrable265 we play this at mi school as well

[ChocoKatzrule]

[dreampoem123]

very nice, i've never actually heard it from the outside, it sound so different from playing inside

[GabriellaVirredici]

huh? what do u mean outside nd inside?

[dreampoem123]

um.... let me try rephrasing that. im used to playing that song and hearing it from withing the orchestra, not listening to it as an audiance member

[GabriellaVirredici]

@dreampoem123 oh ok lol

[yashjinagar]

he probably means as a listener, as opposed to a player.

[GabriellaVirredici]

lol yeah i get it thanx

[yashjinagar]

nvm, I didn't see his reply... soz...

[GabriellaVirredici]

oh its okay lol

[InsanityNHorror]

[GabriellaVirredici]

thats kewl

[AnimalLoverforeva]

tthis is epic on piano

[GabriellaVirredici]

@AnimalLoverforeva yeah i learned it on piano by ear one day when i was left at school lol

[CHAN9TEC]

i love playing this song in school! i play viola and i like how the violas have the melody in the beginning...that doesnt happen a lot.

[GabriellaVirredici]

well i was 3rd violin so i guess its a mix of viola nd violin cuz when i was there we played it not the violas bcuz we didnt have any lol but the music said for 3rd violin lol

nd yea it sure doesnt happen alot lol but im in 1st now

[CHAN9TEC]

yeah, my friend is 3rd violin and she showed me her music. i was like "shoot! i left a comment on youtube!"

[GabriellaVirredici]

@CHAN9TEC ahaha lol

[beccaisawesomeness]

i love this song!!! i played this song in sixth grade!! it's so beautiful! i still remember every note!

[GabriellaVirredici]

lol same but i played this in 2years ago in 7th grade

[alexlara2012]

Well see what had happened was... my director is intimidated by my awesomeness he put me in last chair in the chamber

[GabriellaVirredici]

I'm sorry...I beg ur Pardon?

[victoria3552]

I fell asleep for a min. o.o!

[GabriellaVirredici]

[othersproduction]

I played this song back in 5th grade =P brings back memories

[GabriellaVirredici]

lmao

[Doomsong667]

O.O I love this song, we are playing it this year in orestra too. It's like the only song I CAN play in class right now... lol. I had to change from second to first though so relearning it wasn't too bad. I love it and the duet!

[GabriellaVirredici]

lol i doing alla tchaikovski its hard 3 whole pgs

[Doomsong667]

dang, r u playing viola, first violin or second for that? just curious. I'll have to look for that song.

[GabriellaVirredici]

violin 2 lol its so fun....until the end lol

[Doomsong667]

I wanted to do 2nd violin this year but noooooo my teacher put me on first. I don't know about you but first violins seemed to be sort of full of themselves or so it seems at my school.

[GabriellaVirredici]

lmao what do u mean?

[Doomsong667]

what does Imao mean?

[wakley5]

Yea they are at my school too. Im in the eight grade and I started out as a second then got moved to first then back to second lol. Now I'm a first again but second stand. The girl in front of me thinks she's the absolute best player ever! I asked my teacher to switch me to cello because I love their part in this song but she wouldn't :(

[GabriellaVirredici]

@wakley5 yeah i love the cello and pay no attention to her i love ignoring people b/c they later want u back in their life so they can be snobby again lol

[Doomsong667]

hehe, ain't that the truth about the snobby people. But I've always wanted to play cello. Cello is amazing!! *daydreams*

[GabriellaVirredici]

@Doomsong667 Pardon? Who's snobby? And yes I love cello I'm actually learning it it's kinda hard because I'm so used to violin with small strings etc lol

[Doomsong667]

@GabriellaVirredici snobby people who are always a chair ahead of you and they rub it in your face that they are "better than you", those kind of people.

[gurlprosniper]

This is beautiful :)

Im playing it this year .. I hope we can perfect it
