Bagpipes after hours (2) - 2/4 marches

Ian Werner plays "Arthur Bignold of Lochrosque" and "Capt. Campbell of Drum à Voisk". In retrospect, I think my expression is pretty lacking - actually I think I OVER expressed each tune to the point that they feel stilted and not very fluid.

I disagree regarding the expression. I think that execution of embellishments is an obvious strength of yours but in this case, it was the execution that outshined the expression. I hear what you're saying about fluidity; I just think it was the embellishments that were stilting it. I'm trying to explain it hehe. I guess the execution, while clean, crisp, and precise, seemed a bit mechanical and didn't lend to the expression you're aiming for.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, in my opinion you could be best on mars...

Arthur Bignose is a great tune but it is really hard to phrase correctly.I loved it but you speeded up slightly as you yourself noticed.I am at present fighting with the Conundrum I overphrase that aswell and it loses it's Bounce if you know what I mean.Great playing though.

Every time I see this video I can almost imagine myself being right there with the almost stormy clouds in the background, likely the smell of rain accompanying the inconsistent moist breeze. I'm going to spend most of this upcoming summer outside. =]

I'm grade 4 and think I might have made a mistake selecting this tune. The notes aren't too difficult to get down, but the expression is pretty difficult. I can play the notes just fine, but to have it sounding like this video will take months.

Hey Ian...should a first time grade 4 competitive piper go out with Arthur Bignold?

[jreinke4]

like your style on the second march man, I love the first one you played, that happens to be a favorite of mine!

[LSBSPB]

im pretty sure it started speeding up in the second part. that. or you started out uncomfortablly slow. i feel the smae way though. i would never play a 2/4 that is expressed every note on left foot that much.

Unbelievablyamazing:

Sorry for being an ass and making stupid remarks...my bad. I was tired and feeling catty. That's not an excuse...just a lame explanation. Regardless, my comment was rude and borrish and I sincerely apologize. I don't mean to bring bad Karma to SvenskPiper's cool vids. Hope you both can disregard my foolishness.
