- One of the most requested orchestral audition excerpts, this slow excerpt from Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5 requires careful intonation, clean shifts, and steady, controlled sound production.
the viola is a beautiful instrument and shostakovich sure knew how to bring that out!
Yes, he did! Have you heard his viola sonata?
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this! Shostakovich is my fave.
Yeah, Shostakovich is amazing!
Wow. I have never heard a viola go up to an Eb above the treble staff before!
This is a standard audition except for us largely because it goes fairly high. I have another video where I go even higher, up to a high G! That's the one where I play FU by CeeLo Green.
