  • Here is a fun French waltz called, "Le retour des hirondelles," or, "Return of the Swallows" in English. I believe it was composed by Beniamino Pagano and Robert Trognée. I have often heard it played in the key of C, but I moved it to D to make it easier to play on the violin (more open strings!). It's definitely not a very straight-forward tune to play on a violin since it has a lot of accidentals, but I tried to make it work.
    I've been pretty hooked to this piece ever since I heard it a few years ago -- there is something about songs with a lot of chromatic accidentals that I really love for some reason. It's almost like they can toss the concept of a key signature out the window with all the accidentals, yet still sound like the right key. It's great! I want to learn how to write songs like that!
    I mostly wanted to attempt to make a video of this song because I saw a TON of swallows flying around one day, as well as little baby swallows -- SO CUTE!!!
    I finished my Covid vaccine doses. I'm not going to lie -- the second dose was pretty rough... :/ But it's done!! I got to visit my friends and family for the first time in a long long time. It was so nice, yet also felt kind of strange to be near other humans without a mask. It was great to see everyone in "real life" instead of zoom calls. After lots of isolation, I'm more socially awkward than ever before -- yay....gotta work on that...again...
    Thank you for watching and listening! =) Happy Spring!!

    I was just thinking it that was coming around that time for another Katy Adelson video and low and behold here we are. Excellent work. From one socially awkward person to another….most of the skills you learned in the past will quickly come back to you just like playing a tune on your violin that you haven’t played in a long time. At first it seems frustrating and difficult and then it all comes rushing back only better.

    hi there. due to the virus i can not visit scotland. i feel the uk uses the coronavirus to repell the eastern europeans. at all.
    i had chill summers in scotland. the bagpipers noisy were imposing their major and mixoliydian modes.
    i sumetimes heard myself on the violin. playin the shit. i mean the simple tunes they play.
    i play italian baroque. improvise. edinburgh royal mile. from 9 to 12 late evening. drizzle, light rain.
    i am there for. i play on 3/4 violin. small hand. i recently played on full 4/4 violin.
    still. G, D, A open strings are favored by great composers like viotti, kreutzer, rode.
    music that inspired paganini when he was young ! !! !!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
