Yes, indeed! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

Hi, my cello works for free. :)

Absolutely :)

Right on!

Nice. Good guess but less American.

Thank you, Ernesto. These Christmas carols speak volumes to me.

Thanks! I enjoyed playing it.

Yay, I'm glad I thought of it. :) It works so well for getting the fingers going.

Indeed. Thanks for your comment. Are you a cellist as well?

Thanks. Good to know. And thankfully I have since had it repaired.

Same to you. Thank you. This is a superb hymn indeed. It is nice that it was included in a method book 120+ years ago.

Thanks to Breval for writing this interesting Rondo. :)

Why, yes it is! :) Suzuki Vol.2, No. 5 in C major also has it. This one is slightly different from the one I learned and teach. And I agree, doable.

Thank you and I hope you play beautifully as well.

When I discovered this shorter method I was quite pleased.

Very nice. We all had a fun time. Thank you! :)

Glad it is helpful. What did you find useful?

@@TravelingCello I really don’t know honestly, but for some reason it gave me some ideas how I can practice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That is just as well. I am glad it is useful. :)

@@mettevunsjensen4094 thanks very much.

Thank you.

Yes, this Waltz really does it on its own in a single melodic line. I also added a bunch of reverb to give it a boost.

@@TravelingCello I did notice the sound difference, but dismissed it believing it was just in my head. Really cool! 👍🏻 Listening again, this time more attentively.

Interesting. Goes to show that when one edits the video all the details seem to be very noticeable but may not be that way to every listener. And it is also worth mentioning that I must have added an artistic amount odd reverb. Lol (mainly I make these points for myself to realize that I should be easier on my self-criticisms)

Thank you so much.

It was a fun one to make. Honestly, it is not exactly beginner material in today’s market but it was back then.

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated.

That would be nice. Do you play bass?

@@TravelingCello I don’t, but I have always played with the idea. If I take another instrument, it would take time away from the cello. My teacher at Old Town once suggested me that I could play the cello through an octobass pedal. I kinda liked the idea.

@ErnestoGhinaglia oh. That would be good. I think the former cellist of Turtle Island String Quartet, Mark Summer, used something of the like.

@ErnestoGhinaglia and it always sounded really cool.

Indeed. It’s like they didn’t have digital distractions. Lol

That's great. Hahaha...

Very! An excellent example of the higher musical level for beginners back in the day.

There are ten little numbers in this suite. Several are real gems, like No. 2 "Homesick".

Did you go look this Op. 126b up?

@@TravelingCello I haven’t yet. I’ve been a couch potato all evening. 😂

@ErnestoGhinaglia lol. Sometimes that is all the ambition one can muster. Hehe. I was pleasantly surprised by Gretchaninoff’s little pieces.

@@TravelingCello You just made me get off my a$$ and look it up. Found it!

:)

It was the d string

. . . . . a before o but not before the Y?🤔🤨

Very true! Thanks for pointing that out. (Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Bruckner)

@@1ralton1 that is a great question. I wish I could have figured out how to salvage it. Alas, I was unable to and, as I was told by several luthiers independently, the angle of the neck was no longer appropriate for that bridge. In essence, I might ultimately need to have major work done on the neck. At least from what I gather from the assessments.

To put it differently, the neck is now too low and the bridge is so old that it has lost its ability to serve in an effective manner.

Yes! I will do it.

Thanks for the insightful comments and for the compliments.

Thanks very much. It is a lovely piece and I imagine this is something of how I might sound in a spoken prayer.

@@matthewcolburn9930 that is easily done. Try not to listen to the thin sound of my mal-adjusted cello however. Will tag you when I upload it.

Thank you.

It is a good moment.

That’s great! All the best wishes to you and many more birthdays to come!

Fantastic! I'm glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know as well.

😂😂😂 not only that but it improves the quality as well. 😅

Hi, I’m very glad it helped. Version 2 is quite early isn’t it. I think I started around 3.2 or so.
