[Eba123456789]

[Maxh707]

[indiankids786]

Nice viola

[lrbaseball15]

More of the lower half of the bow!!!!

[synthiakorg]

Pas mal du tout, assez de vivacite, de doite acceptable, peut-etre quelques petits

problems avec l'accordement,quand meme bien joue!!! DAB

[catnip4life55]

just a bit out of tune, and not every note needs vibrato

[NightwishaL]

Why doesn't sound my viola so great like his? xD

[WeBeFreaks]

@NightwishaL

Same here, that my my first though.

[TheCscosta]

@NightwishaL mine sound a litle bit strange, compared to him, and yours?

[NightwishaL]

@TheCscosta My viola sounds.... cheap. lol and not in that volume like his. but my viola costs 800 euro... that isnt cheap for me! ...

[TheCscosta]

@NightwishaL My viola costs 750 euros, but i still prefer the sound of my teacher's viola

[crazycellist973]

@TheCscosta The reason his sounds like this is because it probably cost at least 2,000 euros. My cello cost about 4,00 euros, but that isn't including the bow and case - and I need to get a new one this year before college! You get what you pay for!

@NightwishaL Either your instrument is not as good or you lack bow control.

[LVJIAHENG]

may i say that it's a little bit out of tune

[KRYBBY13]

If Ur Gnna Tell Someone How To Improve THEIR Palying Then U Shud Make Ur Own Video Doing Perfect!!! Sounded Beautiful!!

[ViolaDaBraccio504]

second movement:

using more of the lower half of the bow will help you get the "in the string" sound you want. perhaps you're _trying_ to accelerate, but it seems like you're just unintentionally rushing like crazy! you built up a little dynamically on the last 16th note run, but it died down on that last out-of-tune shift. i think you're skilled enough to do a little more with the dynamics there, and to get that shift!

just a few tips, but overall a very good performance - good job!

[ViolaDaBraccio504]

some tips:

there were a couple intonation issues in the first movement. also make sure not to gyp the eighth notes, instead use them to move the phrase forward into the next dotted quarter. perhaps it's just the recording but it seems like you didn't make much of the dynamics. bring out the cadenza with more gusto.

[oboe1169]

Awesome!

[rvoralek]

be careful you are accelerating ...

[1484me]

awesome, nice pianist aswell.

[cartman0donna]

He's very very good!

[Violascry]

Beautiful playing! I especially loved the first movement.

One thing you could improve on: in the second movement, try to use the bottom half of your bow more. I do this a lot too and a fellow viola player of mine suggested I practice with a sock on my bow (as unconventional as this may be, it actually works!!! Except you can choose to be more civil to your instrument and use a plastic bag instead).

Wonderful playing!!!

[cjhwth81]

Extremely well done Jimmy!

[xGreeniexoxoX]

i have to do this song for my concert today...i'm going to mess up very badly.

[violakill]

You could be more fluid with the right hand.Spread the bow more and think of going with gravity.Fix that flat tense pinky finger on the bow. That is keeping your wrist and fingers from working properly.

Also, what's wrong with ending the last phrase in third position? It sounds better than that 1, 0 trill.

[juicyglam6]

The sound that you produce from your viola is quite good..and a very large tone too!

I would suggest though to beeter this piece by adding more fluidness and musicality in some parts.

[jamiiraxo]

nicee

[MILAMGM]

BIEN LONGO!!!

[vilamCH]

Splendide, wonderful. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful Concerto

[yuming97]

Great playing dude! Count have a better intonation though....esp. on the 2nd section.
