    I have to say this has helped me a lot. This song looks more difficult than it actually is, and you have made the timing issue much more approachable now. Thanks! I've been watching your videos for quite sometime now and you always explain things so well.

    beautifully explained. I don't think I'll ever be able to count out the beats though, let alone play the piece clean. Thank you for sharing your time and experience to us, it shows your true love towards the art. Nice painting btw. Looks like one of yours.

    Can read music so as a beginner I will soon just dive in and start with Bach who I consider easy as piano music. As a novice I saw this starting with 4 notes and wondered how you could possibly play that, and assumed this was the way but wanted to make sure. My 8 beats will be at minimum 1 second each with my goal to have fun leaning notes and fingering mostly in position 1. It worked playing the Bach and Hayden piano sonata's treble clef with guitar, and playing Bach for several months very slowly I expect will do the trick.

    That was great! I was wondering if you could cover the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3 in G Major- namely, the first scale run and that really tricky part starting on the high D on the E string towards the end of the piece. Sorry for being so vague.

    Hey ProfessorV, thanks for this video. I am a guitarist arranging the Adagio for the electric guitar with special consideration in incorporating the notated slurs into the arrangement to the best of my ability. In general, I am trying to stay on a single string for most of the slurs (and you can imagine what a challenge that is!) but sometimes I must change strings (for example the diminished arpeggios) and it is fun to try different combinations of slurs in these cases (for instance a "1-123-123-1" for a 1-beat 32nd note run that is originally completely slurred.) Do you have any thoughts and/or advice on how I should approach this piece with consideration to my intended arrangement?

    Hey Professor V. Loved the video. Very well done and informative. I also am an "advanced violin expert" and have read Joel Lester's book as well. He actually refers to the Partitas as the "church sonata" genre and the sonatas as the "chamber sonata" genre in chapter one, Historical Setting section. Can you please tell me where he refers to the g minor sonata as the "sonata da chiesa," "church sonata" or "sonata de cazo" as you refer? Based on what I found in chapter one the g minor sonata is a chamber sonata and not a church sonata. Perhaps I just haven't found the exact reference you used and perhaps he contradicts himself in the book and I just haven't found that other reference. Would love your thoughts :)

    What's the piece in the intro?

    • @virtualsheetmusic
      @virtualsheetmusic  5 років тому

      Of course, it is the Sarabande of the Partita No.2 for violin solo by Bach: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/score/PartitaVl2.html

    Question: on the first quarter notes in the middle of the first measure, do I have to keep those opposing half notes ringing, if so how do I do that without getting too loud or scratching? A similar problem occurs on the first chord on the second measure (although it's just one note there but it holds)... Or am I worrying over nothing? What is the right approach, be serious, determined and disciplined (and get frustrated) or take things on a lighter note (isn't that a bad habit)?

    Hi. On this piece why does the E string sound sometimes bad ? Is it the bow technic that could cause that screaming sound??

    • @virtualsheetmusic

      That may happen pretty easily on the violin. You may find this video useful: ua-cam.com/video/P7suSKnk1xs/v-deo.html

    Great observations - I think the best interpretations emphasize the bass - everything else ornamental. Thank you!
