One of the most challenging aspects of the viola part compared to the violin part is that it's harder to understand the context. If you're very familiar with the melody, the inner voice (viola part) sounds awkward by itself. You really have to imagine the entire orchestra
I have an audition tomorrow and this is the only piece of it that I am not solid on. This helps a lot. Thank you!! (Though I had to look up the British terms for rhythmic notation to understand what crotchet and semiquaver meant...)
@ThaSchwab I'll agree with you that it is the best practical masterclass of the set. Very methodical and so forth. Silverthorne talks a lot more about creative things, so it's apples and oranges for me. And not to forget the Berlin one is so instructive because Strauss and Mend. are German, and it is good to know how they approach it.
Good master class and a good musician. True interesting things happen sometimes with audition in Professional orchestras of Europe, Usa Canada .... How to write the program so much afraid should be like.))) And as you listen to the best representatives of these orchestra then everything seems to be normal. The truth is not for the fact that the musicians from the former Soviet Union will be all the usual competition with these orchestras.)))
Dankes schon fur Masterclass.Now I study the violin and the sing, so it is very wanderfull. Es gibt eine konzert Marz 5,2013 am Berliner Philpharmonie Hall.Wir sangen [ Messiah]mit Berliner Symphonie Orchestra.Sehr Wunderbar. Ich habe das mitglked der Berliner Philpharmonic Orchestra unabeichtlih getroffen. Das ist sehr wunderbar weiter!
This is probably the best masterclass for this piece. He plays it very well (better than Paul Silverthorne does, at least), almost completely in tune (as it should be). His Harold in Italy pales in comparison, even though it's a different piece, he just overall sounds better in this video.
The opening 16ths start with an affected ooze into tempo. An enormous space between the first set of 16ths, and the triplet gesture. The first run of triplets is in a different tempo. If someone tried to play this way as part of an ensemble, he or she would not be in time with the rest of the ensemble. Just the beginning of this master class leaves me frustrated. This is not playing of clarity, sophistication, or effortlessness.

That goes the viola part of any piece in general haha
Kinda like listening to just the alto part of a choral piece, without the sopranos on top.
And the viola does not speak like the violin…😒🙄

Wow...I really want to be able to play like this some day!
Really good masterclass. I learned a lot. Thank you.

roger is going to need his fingerboard planed pretty soon :) You can see the waves on the vid. This is a guy who plays and practices a lot.

Good for you.

very good viola player and probably the only useful masterclass between all of the bullshit on viola and violins
