Nice to see a real instrument. Not a wimpy little Violin.

[LegendOfZelda12]

fyi, the soloist isn't a violinist.

Very nice hearing you play, I enjoyed your performance. I will be performing this piece soon and am glad to of found your video because it was beautiful and helped me get a better idea for how the piece flows.

Pretty good, he still has a bit of "violin elbow" and has a funny fingering in some areas-probably from his time on violin-making it seem duller than it could have.

He also somehow manages to look serious during such a lively and fun piece.

Otherwise pretty good :)

Ooh, nice tone and expression!

Good job! I Love this piece, I'm playing it now. Does anyone know where I can get the orchestra part for this? (not a piano reduction, that's all I've been able to find)

It sounds wonderful! The sound is very nice.

I played this as my main peice for grd 7 AMEB, got an A :)

The last movement is difficult, but some tips that helped me: listen to it ALOT, if u know what it´s suppost to sound like in ur head it helps so much. practice with a metronome, start slow to get all the notes and once you can play it perfectly set the metronome 2beats faster, working ur way faster until ur up to speed. I find it helps to practice it a little faster than required as that means the performace will be relaxed.

[liveyloops]
