Where did you find the sheet music for the piano? i have been looking everywhere for this arrangement?

[Forrest Schultz]

not that i play violin, but guitar and piano, i imagine the poster posted this video so people could hear this beautiful music, if you want to critique it like an internet master, maybe you could do it at one her practices, as opposed to here on youtube for everyone to read. this is beautiful, and i think thats why it got posted, unless you have a better video to share, your comments come of as arrogant.

I'm going to try and perform this at my funeral also. Any tips on what to watch for?

[audgirox]

ooohh! pretty!! i actually the first thing i noticed is that at measure...31 you didn't play double stops (: thats fine though i wouldn't have.

Nice piano part...

Watch the high Notes! if you can't hit them i always go an octive lower. The last note was a little sqeaky and screechy but hey you did AWESOME!

great job, I performed this at my a funeral and it was so pretty to hear that begginning piano part when the cascet (spelling?) came in. YOu did wonderful just make sure you add feeling when you play, it makes all the difference.

Ooh I've performed this before... Unfortunately the balance is bad =( I can barely hear the violin over the piano, quite possibly the acoustics but thats why we have run throughs =)

From what I can hear, very nice tone. and vibrato. Good posture and shifting too.

Your right hand though, I don't know why you aren't using your pinky! It is sooo important when in the lower half. Your wrist is very stiff especially when it is needed most; when the frog is over the bridge. Nice interpretation!
