  • @Killacelt Bartók left Hungary and lived as a stranger in the US because he could not bear Hitler and his like-minded henchmen in Hungary. He wrote this piece of work in utter despair because of his and his county's fate ...

  • Dude looks like he could've been Hitler's right hand man.

  • @chainstoking Unfortunately, no, I've not heard of the "Orchestral Excerpts" books. Are we really known for our sight-reading abilities? That's very good to know, especially with my grade 8 exam coming up...! :-)

  • @Cellogirl1000

    Thanks, I'll bear it in mind, although I do usually work myself Saturdays.  Playing these pieces is excellent experience for you. Do you have any of the "Orchestral Excerpts" books? In the profession there is often only time enough to rehearse the parts difficult for ensemble. That is why us Brits are known for our sight reading abilities!

  • @chainstoking If you're ever around West London, come along to any of the concerts! We're now doing Shostakovich's 10th symphony and Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn! :-)

  • @Cellogirl1000

    You are playing some interesting pieces. I love the Kodaly too. Glad it all went well.

  • @chainstoking

    You bet it does!! Performed this on Saturday with my orchestra and, thankfully, it went really well, but it was quite an undertaking for the opening performance of the season, what with everyone feeling a bit rusty from summer holidays! Also did the Liszt piano concerto no. 1 and Kodaly 'Dances of Galanta'....but the Liszt felt a bit under-rehearsed....too much Bartok practice, I think!!

  • @Cellogirl1000

    I love this piece too. It takes some preparation to get to performance standard!

  • Love this piece....

  • one of the 6 or more great Bs

    @ circa 4:49 sounds I have never heard elswhere in music.
