Gavotte (from Orchestral Suite No.3) Johann Sebastian Bach - Viola (Suzuki Viola School Vol. 3)

This is me playing J.S. Bach's Gavotte from the Orchestral Suite No.3 on my new viola. I love the sound of it! Sorry about a couple of notes being a bit out of tune...
I hope you enjoy it! Leave a comment, I'd appreciate it.

Molly, just listened to you doing the Bach Gavotte 10 from Suite No. 3.

I'm working on the same piece for my double bass lesson on Thursday!

You really give me an idea of a tempo I can do, and how it sounds.

I live in Denmark and am in my 24th year of bass lessons with the same Norwegian-American teacher, Tina Austad.

Keep playing and many thanks!

@fradleygarner I'm glad I could help you. I imagine it to be hard to play on the double bass...good luck with it :) And 24 years already, I'm impressed! I've been playing the viola for...13 years now I think :)

You keep it up too! Greetings from Germany!

@getmoreland As far as I know the little note called a grace note in English. You basically treat it like a very short note and connect it with the bigger note. If you listen to how I'm playing it, the 4th note I'm playing is the short/smaller note and the 5th one is the big one. I hope this helps, good luck and have fun playing! :)

@xxMollyMoonxx I really need some advice/ help on this peice, I've only been playing for 3 years, and I would like to learn, what the smaller note next to the bigger note mean!? Is it a tie? Thank you!

Hi Molly, you bet that Bach is hard on double bass. I switched to classical from jazz. I'm international editor of Jersey Jazz, journal of the New Jersey Jazz Society. Do a monthly column for JJ. If you, or any friends, would like to see the April issue, I'll send it as a pdf file attachment. Right now gotta go practice for this afternoon's lesson!

Al best, Fradley
