The famous cello soli from the beginning of the 2nd movement. I tried playing along with the recording over and over again and I think it has helped.

  • is that you playing? because the fingering isn't together with the sound... or did you superimpose the sound over the video?

  • @shafran100 I can't hook my mics up to the camera so I have to add the music over the video file later.

  • have been watching ur videos, specially La Mer, helped me to get an ideia for an audition...Thanks

    where u from and who is your teacher?

  • @billprokofiev I studied with Hans Jensen at Northwestern but I'm from CA originally.

  • Blake you've done a phenomenal job with this my friend!

  • Thanks! Your suggestion to play along with a recording made a huge difference. I recorded the excerpt from a CD and looped it in Windows Media Player. Then I wore headphones and performed along with the loop.

  • Sounds Great!

  • Thank you for putting this video up. I will use it for inspiration for my Florida All State audition. Two thumbs up! :D

  • Really very nice playing. Try and experiment with different characters and contrasts even more. Check out the Mravinsky performance with Leningrad online

    about 30 seconds in, see how they change to almost sotto voce, and then come back more intense later...its really effective.

  • Very romantic. Brahms is complex and highly structured, but you make it sound fluid and very natural. You make it look easy! I love your playing.
