would you please, please send me the sheet music? since i started playing viola, i always wanted to play this but couldn't find a version for the viola! (schloenie@web.de) i even created a youtube-account to write this ;-)
I enjoyed listening to this. My only comments would be to play a bit more legato, make your trills quicker and when you switch from the D string (or it may have been the A) to the C, add more pressure for a better sound. Other than that, your intonation is good and your shifting accuracy is fantastic! Keep up the good work!(: Also, could you send me the music? hayden.pace@hotmail.com
Hello good sir lol i love the viola and you are GOOD. i have a question i play the Mandolin and alot of other instruments, do you think i could adapt to this instrument quick?
my viola is so freaking out of tune that I cant play and I dont have a tuner and I'm not good at tunning by ear and its really freaking out of tune if it was a little then its ok but I'm going crazy not being able to play
If you have time, I would very much like it if you would send the music sheet to : angela01258@gmail.com ,thank you so much! I have been trying to find the music sheet for so long! Much appreciated.
please give me the viola sheet music i really was looking hard to find a canon by pachelbel but for the viola solo thank you very much my email is bryant712@gmail.com
Ok, what kind of viola do you have? and what size? it looks awfully large. I play a 14 currently but am moving up to a 15 VERY soon. i bought mine because the company we rented from wasn't very good.
I'm pretty sad that the Viola isn't as well known as the Violin. To be honest, I prefer this piece to played with the Viola more, as the Viola has a lower and more soothing tone compared to the Violin.
can you please send me the sheet music, because I need it for the high school audition next Friday at andreaPPham@yahoo.com. Please as soon as possible!
you are pretty good but you are useing the violin tune. use the dark tone of the viola. the viola isnt the devil its the darkness. the violin is the devil.
@ZhouDenny1990 I am surprised that YouTube allows email addresses in these public comments now. It is probably wiser to send me a private message, but anyway I sent you the file.
@ExpressStaveNotation could you ppplllleeeeaaassseee send the copy to me too ! Like in a personal message ? PLEASE ! I've been looking for this song for a while and i REALLY want to have the music piece !
What a wonderful world! Could you tell me how long you've been viola? Is it possible playing like that with one year studying viola? (I mean working all day long!)?
I played piano since a kid. I started on violin at 22. In one year I got ok but probably not to play this. It is hard playing a string as an adult. Just holding the instrument comfortably takes time. I changed to viola at 26, so I have played it over 20 years! My fingers never go as fast as someone who learnt strings from childhood. At one stage I tried to get faster and practiced trill studies 3 hours every day. DO NOT DO THIS! I got OVERUSE SYNDROME and had to stop for five years :(
@Matsuilunar It was a weird condition. Started with pain and tremor in my left hand from trying to trill too much, then spread to RH as well, with weakness, trembling, lack of control if I tried to practice, feeling like electrical buzzing in my hands, spreading to other parts of my body. I went to doctors and a specialist who told me to do nothing with my hands for a year but it would still get worse before better, which it did. I saw a shrink for a year! Nothing helped till I began swimming -
I love your cover you play very good! I Was studying viola 2 years ago... xD but I had to leave the lessons.. I will return and I hope can play this song just like you :D ! good look sr!
Hello my name is Lucia, I am studying viola. And I wanted to ask if I could spend part of the canon to my e-mail. I'm from Uruguay and do not know much English so forgive me. Thank you very much, this really cool.
Hi Lucia, Click on ExpressStaveNotation and send me a private message with your email address. Then i will gladly send you this file. Thanks for your comment!
Well this is very lovley:] Do you happen to have the link to the website that you found this on? My mothers best friend wants me to play this at her wedding:]
megster689, you can not play UNDER the bridge anyways. Also, you do not have to play totally by yourself in order for something to be a solo. Have you ever heard someone "sing a solo" they may have "BACKGROUND singers." If you can play the song better than this dude why not upload a video of you playing then? I also saw your comment on another video and you claim you can play this song "perfect." There is no way anyone can play anything "perfect" since there is always room for improvement.
your bowing is unbalanced and you need more control over the dynamics.. precision is one thing a string player definitely needs. Other than that it wasn't so bad :)
Pick the instrument that sounds best for you. The cello is larger/harder/has a deeper voice. The viola can play very low notes and extend its range up to some pretty high sounds too. Two things to consider are transportation (viola is definately much easier) and sheet music (cellos have lots of sheet music while few composers write for viola - I actually transpose a lot of music from violin!). Good luck! :-D
both cellists and violists are in high demand for playing in orchestras and other venues, violas far much moreso. I personally prefer the sound of the cello for solo playing, but if i am with an orchestra, viola.
however, it all comes down to personal preference. and, if you start one, you can pick up another later! all strings, regardless of the obvious physical and note reading differences, are played in a similar fashion and it is not difficult to switch.
please send me the sheet
