@DualThunder haha my teacher ended up making me play the first (i've been playing it for like seven months) and i just played it for a competition. in my opinion, those annoying fast runs were more difficult than the g string stuff, but i loved the movement a lot! my teacher said he's going to make me learn movements 2 and 3 too, haha.

@careinn10 third movement is i think a bit easier than the first movement and is probably the one to learn before the first movement. Technically the first movement is much harder to pull off and it requires a lot more of the soloist in terms of command of the instrument, especially on the G string. but in any case you'll have to buy the music so you can look at both anyway and choose which you think would be better to do

Sounds soooo cool! Anyone know where j can find the music for this? All the sites I found don't have the right part
-
@careinn10 Play the whole thing!

Saint-Saens with Francescatti is like France with French people. Unconditionally united and a rare experience of solidarity. It makes this rendition one of a kind: a jewel of a kind.

PERFECT

It's funny that you say that becauseg the fast passage in the middle of the first movement was a gamebreaker for me, whereas the slow ones made up for my wounds.
-
@careinn10 you should probably do the first movement. It's just as wonderful and has more slow expressive passages, which are almost harder than the fast runs in a way.
-
@careinn10 Start at the beginning.

@rapter9800 He was my favorite violinist when I was a kid, and you guessed right - he was electrifying live. I heard a Symphonie Espagnol from him in Carnegie Hall (I think it was Cleveland with Szell) in the middle 60's. That performance would have made your hair stand on end. I forget how many times he was called back to the stage afterwards. We in the audience just would not leave. Funny thing, he only played 4 movements. In those days it was not uncommon to leave off the Scherzo.
omfg...I think I orgasmed listening to that. sht.
