I was wondering if we could share violin pieces we like to listen to the most.
For now mine are
Wieniawski - Polonaise Brillante No.1,Op.4
Brahms - Violin Sonata No.1 in G major, Op.78
Paganini - La Campanella
Paganini - Caprice 1, 5, 23, 24
Pachelbel - Canon in D Major
Ravel - Tzigane
Chopin - Tristesse etude Op.10 No.3 in E major
Vitali - Chaconne |

Listen to Intermezzo played by Toscha Seidel.I don`t think it can be too difficult but musically it blows me away. Bet it`s in a really awkward key.I think if I play this it may ruin the freshness and lose something.Unlike most people I can see a beautiful flower and not actually touch it.
I once watched the rocket launch disaster when the seven astronauts were killed.I had put the slow movement of the Mozart Symphonia Concertante on the record player and when the rocket exploded the music changed to a Minor key (I may be technically wrong there ) but the sadness of that moment and the two Oistrakhs left me in tears.
If you play the slow Beethoven Concerto parts with a time lag (e.g. 3 beats)between yourself and the recording you get a wonderful fugue effect.Private pleasures. |

Here`s a nice piece that I never see mentioned---Bach Cello Suite V Number five,Prelude , transposed for violin.There are two versions.
One with normal tuning ( Klangnotation) --lovely word.
The other with Scordatura dropping the E string down to D .( Originalnotation)
I find the lowered tuning makes an amazing Medieval sound which I had never heard before I played this piece.The best description is "plangent"---another lovely word.
I can`t understand why the normal tuning has none of the mysterious sound.
If anybody knows of other music like this I shall be very glad to hear of it. Is this what Funerary music is like? |

Two peices I'm listening to right now are
Tchaikovsky, violin concerto in D major OP.35, with the fourth movement being my favourite, great crescendo's and finale. Ivan Cerkov on violin.
also, Mozart, Soanata no9 for violin and piano KV 377. just because the recording I have has really sweet violin playing, and I thought it would be good to learn. |

My all time favorites are the Bach Chaconne in D for solo violin (played by Itzak Perlman) and the Dvorzak Romance (played by Perlman as well).
I love all of the Bach solo violin and cello suites but the Chaconne is special. I also love Mozart's violin concerto's and the Bach Double violin concerto.
Oh, and "Papa can you hear me" played by Perlman. Oh MY! |

I just wrote a small piece about the Bach works for violin and viola:
There are three sets of works by J.S. Bach, which are often confused:
1. Bach Cello Suites: orig. for cello, transcribed for violin and viola:
Bach: Six Cello Suites - for violin
http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/item.html?id=186635&item=3129790
Bach: Six Cello Suites - for viola
http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/item.html?id=186635&item=4297769
2. Bach Unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas: orig. for violin, transcribed for viola:
Bach: Six Sonatas and Partitas - for violin
http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/item.html?id=186635&item=4295285
Bach: Six Sonatas and Partitas - for viola
http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/item.html?id=186635&item=4297782
3. Bach Six Sonatas w/ piano: orig. for violin, transcribed for viola:
Bach: Six Sonatas w/ piano - for violin
http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/item.html?id=186635&item=5643296
Bach: Six Sonatas w/ piano - for viola
Vol. I: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/item.html?id=186635&item=4298252
Vol. II: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/item.html?id=186635&item=4298266
In terms of order of difficulty, I would study the cello suites first, then some of the the movements of the unaccompanied works (teachers can pick out the appropriate ones), and then the sonatas with keyboard, last, as they are the most esoteric. I believe that several composers have attempted to write keyboard parts for the unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas, with varying degrees of success, but these are nearly always played unaccompanied, as Bach intended.
My favorite recordings of these works include the following:
• Bach Unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas, Sergiu Luca
• Bach Unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas, trans. for viola, Scott Slapin
• Six Cello Suites performed on viola, Patricia McCarty
• Bach: The Six Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord, Glenn Gould and Jaime Laredo

Quote: | Hey Amanda, that's Dvorák (no "z"), and the plural of concertos is "concertos" not "concerto's." The later is possessive.

Who's Amanda? |

I made a mistake! Amalia is an unusual name.
Someone on Maestronet found another mistake I made: I confused "affect" with "effect." I'm always happy when someone sees an error of mine, and corrects it. _________________ Connie's Violin Page

Just in case you are unaware, it is universally considered rude to correct the typos, misspellings, grammar errors, etc. of those who do not ask you to do so (or who are not your children or otherwise under your tutelage).
It's okay to care, but not okay to correct, unless asked. |

Shall we take a poll?
Shall we look it up?
What I don't understand is why, instead of pleasantly sharing whatever musical knowledge you wish with the rest of us, you choose to come here and nit-pick and criticize other posters. I have my own (non-musical) forum with over 3,000 registered members (several hundred posts daily) so I have a little experience with this sort of thing. After 5 plus years of running my board I've found that the board only florishes if I kick off those who feel they must be rude, which I now do without any hesitation. It's too bad that a small, non-controversial board like this one, can't be free from purposely abrasive posters without such strict moderation. I hope this board survives you.
Here's an idea. If you think your "style" is acceptable to the general public, why don't you open a forum on your OWN website, moderate it according to your rules, and see if it helps or hurts your business. I'd love to hear the results of such an experiment. As it is, based on your behavior on this board, I have NO interest in recomending your site to anyone.
Sincerely, and with all good intentions,
Amalia |
