  • OMG i went to sas :O

  • @emhuang321 Were you there then? This was Fall 2006?

  • I LOVE the sound you get out of your cello! I played this piece but it sounds so amazing on your instrument. *steals cello* lol :P

  • Thanks!! I also like the cello a lot! It IS for sale from my website! :)

  • i like your firm tone - i'm playing this piece now and have been working on a consistent contact point and staying in the string. work on smoothing it out - no swooping, vibrato that goes from one note to the next without stopping.

  • Thanks! To maintain your contact point, one suggestion would be to add consistent pressure/weight thru your right index finger, keeping the bow in the string at all times. A suggestion for practicing continuous vibrato/legato phrasing is to count out loud (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc) while practicing very slowly, connecting each note by long slurs (longer than what is written), and vibrato each note and thru the notes...hope that helps.

  • so much passion

  • Excellent interpretation! You are getting a beautiful sound out of your cello, and you tackle Brahms (awkward sections included) with ease. Two thumbs up!
