@gpederson5 lol, thanks. me too. The audio on the Kodak is compressed. That means it does everything it can to bring up the lows and have everything on one level. I've got to get another recording device. I'll except donations? ;)

This is fantastic. I am a begginer viola player, and I have to play this for my midterm exam in the grade 9 orchestra.

[Elcomunisto]

muuuuy desafinado

[katiemmcintyre]

You're an amazing player, watching your videos is inspiring.

I have commented on another video but I am a new player but I have to play an advanced song for a recital sometime in the next few months. If you could give me any information on where you get your sheet music or what songs you enjoy playing that would be great! Thank you so much!

[ravioli49]

Wow! Great! I love that piece very much. Realy well done!

[ViolaPlaya19]

Just letting you know that this video is a great help in preparing me for my first student recital, first time I'm playing alone.. =/ yipe! But I'm playing along and I'm really getting a feel for the second half of this piece..

[clasicsarealwaysbest]

lengthy song, no? Must have taken loads of practice! I commend you!

[JasperHaleRox]

Very nice!!! I <3 viola

[Bdott7]

I had to play this as a audition piece

on bassoon

[carlphantom]

amazing playing!

do you have the sheet music for it that i can have?

[grandcarriage]

You look like a pretty big guy. How big is the viola? 17+"?

Delicious tone.

[ThoughtTravel]

Thank you ... I'm 5'8" the Viola is 16 3/4"

[clasicsarealwaysbest]

that's huge compared to mine. Plus mine doesn't sound near as good.

[grandcarriage]

You would probably like the video series "Inspired By Bach" Yo-Yo Ma worked with various artists and mediums to produce pieces inspired by the Cello Suites: This suite was a collaboration with the contemporary choreographer Mark Morris. It was pretty delightful.

One of my favorite pieces...  Nicely done; More videos please.

Oh my. Your viola is BEAUTIFUL. The sound quality is phenomenal! Especially love how deepness and richness of your instrument and how you get the strings to keep vibrating after you hit the note for so long with hardly any effort it seems. It's no mean feat. I am in awe!

My only comment would be photocopy the music so that you don't have to do the page turn in the middle. That way you can smoothly go from the first Bouree to the second without the flappyness!!

Well done though

Kudos! (:

[altovocce]

very tasty, great sound!!!

[twilightflame91]

Wow, this is pretty good...I was especially amazed by the power and vibration of your viola...Hopefully you'll put some more videos up :)
