this is amazing.

how long did you prepare for this?

[wilsonviola]

Thank you for your kind words. Well I'm 48 now so it would take a week or two but back when I first transcribed it just a couple of days.

vibrato.... should not influence intonation.

But, I like your bow arm very much!

nice playing.

[wilsonviola]

Sunyuloveu- as a rule I agree intonation should not influence intonation BUT!!! close your eyes and listen to Totellier's Bach, to MIscha Maisky's Bach, listen to Violist Lillian Fuchs cello suites , then listen to Rostropovich. My vibrato can do any type vibrato from finger vibrato to wrist, to arm and even from the shoulder. So now go back and listen to the performance and see if you can find the reasons then Good luck and thanks for listening

in my opinion praeludium and allegro sounds MUCH better on the viola than the violin. I was looking all over for a violist version of this piece, but only found violins. FINALLY someone plays it. THANK YOU.

[baszzzka]

It's absolutely gospel truth that we ( violists) can be "as virtuosic and technically brilliant as violinists"

Thank U for writing this

greetings from Poland :)

[aykhwang]

do you have the sheet music to this?

[virtuosovich]

@JAYKAYsushi

haha, it's just in the works right now. Mostly it's just the violin part an octave down. You might wanna take a try at your own, I'm really not sure if some if it is playable right now

[JAYKAYsushi]

@playsapocby4cellos If you could send me a copy of the cello scores that would be amazing, i'm thinking of playing this piece for my HSC, (yr 12 exam) but am unsure if i should transcribe myself. I really like your version

Thanks :D

[playsapocby4cellos]

working on it.

[JAYKAYsushi]

Could you play this on the Cello?

[vinniefitzviola]

Sir,

I held back tears when I saw and heard your performance. You play from the soul. Do you know the violist, Jerzy Kosmala? He plays from the soul as you do.

Thanks for your generous posting. I am inspired to take my playing higher and learn much from simply watching you play.
