    I like Teleman, particularly because he gave a voice to less popular instruments and wrote beautiful music that was fit for each instrument, he wrote around 6 sonatas for the oboe, and two for the bassoon, which are both instruments which don't get a lot of pieces written especially for them

      Brian Swanson however it's useful to note that in the baroque period vibrato was not a thing yet and strictly speaking, vibrato is not allowed in pieces composed before 1760.

    • @MaestroBabs
      @MaestroBabs 9 років тому +3

      You'll be fine. It's a fun piece and isn't as hard as it seems. It was the first piece I studied when I was starting to switch over from violin when I was in the 8th grade (so about 13 or 14 years old). Most violists learn this piece. I unfortunately never got to perform it. So hopefully you'll get that chance with at least a pianist. Good luck and have fun with it! :)

    I've always thought the viola sounded much nicer than the violin. The sound of the viola is soothing, gentle, and velvety, but at the same time full-bodied and powerful. I mean no disrespect to violin players, but the violin sounds relatively thin and weak in comparison to the viola.

      As someone who plays both instruments, I have to agree with you. If I have to choose which one I will play for fun, the Viola wins every time.

      but then all the violins in you section call you a trader.

      It depends on the director of the Orchestra. He treats me like a firefighter, he puts me wherever the greatest need is, sometimes in 1st, sometimes in 2nd and now as the only Viola (as a support for the 3rd violins). I have to say that at one stage of my life I used to play and teach viola/violin professionally but I stopped doing that many years ago. Now I sit in with a young student orchestra in our local school of music - (I am older than the combined ages of the 3rd violins!) but it is fun for me. Once a musician, always a musician.
