Appalachian Waltz by Mark O'Connor

It's been a long time since I've uploaded any violin-ing! This was a quick and dirty recording for a Musicology class project, so unfortunately I didn't have time to learn it better. But still, really really fun piece to play.

Recorded on an Audio-Technica AT2020 usb
nice little reverb added in Logic
Sheet music bought from markoconnor.com
performed by Forrest McKinney

P.S. if you haven't heard Mark O'Connor's recordings of this song, you're missing out! Appalachian = fantastic album (and all the recordings of it done since then are fantastic as well)

Unbelievable. This is the way the piece was meant to be heard.

The first time I've ever even heard of Mark O'Connor was last month, so it's funny to see you throw up a vid.

It sounds awesome, and this piece is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting. :D Keep the vids coming! It's always a treat to hear you play

@sanitilium Very nice, welcome to the world of O'Connor music! Definitely pick up "30 year retrospective" album if you ever get a chance, good stuff. And thanks fo much for the complement, I've been slacking off for a bit but hopefully I'll be getting some videos up soon. :P
