I just came from playing Praeludium and Allegro on my violin, and I might play this as a duet on viola with my friend. I love this piece so much, and P&A, but I don't see much resembelance
I just feel like similar progressions and phrases at some parts, I think especially by the piano's part. But my mind is also imaginative and wild so I may very well be grasping at straws xD
Well, it would seem that this is a passacaglia more in the sense of a repeated harmonic progression than in a repeated bass line or ground bass. The progression would seem to be i, iv, VII, III, VI, ii0, V7,, i--Gm, Cm, F, Bb, Eb, Adim, D7, Gm. It's unrelieved, unvarying in its parade of variations.
+TheExarion Oh, yes. I've played almost all of them; although they're difficult, they're moderately average when you compare them to other works in the Romantic era. For example, the aforementioned: Paganini or some works by Mendelssohn. That being said, they're all 'hard' pieces in their own right. But this passacaglia is definitely not an easy song to play by any means.
For the most part, yes! Handel actually made the original Passacaglia (Suite in G minor, HWV 432) for harpsichord. From there it should be fairly easy to adapt for piano. Halvorsen's violin-viola duet might be difficult to incorporate though
ツツ ASharpp That's not as uncommon as you might think. It's true that violas tend not to shift as much as violins, but once you get to fourth or fifth it makes a lot more sense to just write in treble.
@@karen2. that's related to fingering and more counting than triplets because (i play viola and violin) the fingerings there so the reader/musician reads it like a triplet for the hand but if come out like a normal 4/4 phrase, I.E it's not really a thing in most music It's also old fashioned by quite a bit
+ViolaVerity That's how I learned to sight-read. A lifetime of listening with score in front of me. BTW, the viola is my favorite instrument. Do you play both violin and viola? (Nice picture. ) Take care.
Sight-reading is such an essential skill. I wish it was more appreciated! Yes, I play both 'shoulder strings'. I started on the violin, and then changed to viola 30 years ago, influenced by teachers Elizabeth Turnbull and Richard Crabtree (find him on RU-vid), and have loved it ever since. The viola is so versatile. Do you play both too? Thank you for your complementary comment on my picture. It has been said that I look somewhat smug, but I think I can be excused as I have got a viola and a violin on my lap.
viola, huh? I kinda wanna play it, but where should I start from? (I've already played violin and it seems like my hands are too small for a viola) ._.
You don't need giant hands for the viola. You could start with a violin strung as a viola. The C string won't be as good as a larger viola, but maybe a good place to start. There are also manufacturers who make smaller actual violas that are thicker than a violin of the same length. Hope that helps you a bit.
If you watch their performance of this from over 30 years ago, you can really see how well they have developed their sound and quality. It really is amazing to see the difference.
So from experience as a music major myself it tends to be 5% of the strings and 80% from the bow arm. I would relax your arm but be sure that you’re using your pinky, thumb, and middle as a way to hold and furthermore lighten the effort on your strings. It’s quite hard to get use to but after a few good weeks of practice your tone should improve dramatically!
I still remember playing in 2nd violin principal desk in primary school during the school funfair and music interflows competition. We played this but it was arranged for an orchestra instead of a duet. Ah, the memories :)
I was loading this song on my phone while playing minecraft and it loaded just as I got attacked by 3 mobs in minecraft and there was a dramatic fight scene with this playing in the background
Outstanding performance, bringing new life to the repetative, yet aestheticly sweet harmony. At parts one might even confuse this sound with the one of a full string quartet, playing together in a higher register.
It remains me of Kreizler's "Praeludium and Allegro", because peace stars in a minor, and ends in major. And it's kind of variations. Peaceful and beautiful! Thanks!!!
No podría hacer nada uno sin el otro en esta pieza, es claramente una conversación constante, no hay que pensar como ellos por separado si no como conjunto
1:39-1:57 are a matter of bow control and shifting with knowledge of your scales. 2:42-2:53 is a bunch of harmonic scales and what not, so thw finger patterns are going to be weird. 4:30-5:31 requires knowledge of scales with agility from the bow and left hand. But the part with all the turns shouldn't be that hard. The treble clef part requires mastery in shifting. 6:00-6:03 is one quick scale. Sight reading it may be a little hard, but with slow practice, it won't be a biggy. 6:10-6:27 is just bow control. The lower and double stops share the top and bottom note, respectively. For example, the music says GE EC EC GE (double stops) wouldn't require anything but bow control, since they share the note E (on D string) and it's just a C Major triad, it's really practice with the finger placement.
Me gusto un montón esta música... cierro los ojos y pienso " Como es que un homínido puede llegar a provocar esto" fascinante... de todos los primates, es el género humano... el mas curiosito e impresionante algo prognata entre todos los primates
After like a whole year in high school during my free time, I learned the first four sections for violin (obviously the first one took most of the time)
