What to do with second violins 

Excellent video and great choice of pieces to analyze! I’ve always loved how Copland uses the strings in Appalachian Spring. How about a video on how to write interesting viola parts? Mine tend to end up as boring fillers of harmony.

That Wagner music was beautiful

thx so much

Thanks for the informative video Alex! This video looked like a lot of work so thanks!

Great and informative video! Thank you!

Brilliant video as always Alex... I really like ex. 5 where Violins II harmonize between Violin I in octaves, never seen this very much in scores. Keep this kind of video coming they are very much appreciated. Kind regards and many blessings, MaxT

Thanks for that video Alex. Really helpful!

Thank you for this video. Yes please..more like this.

Thank you again Alex for a video so well done I didn’t know there were so many ways to use the strings. Yes I really appreciate this kind of videos and I would like to have more ! 😋

Excellent video Alex, I enjoyed it a lot!

Perfectly! Excellent examples and explanations. Tell me, is this the sound of mockups? Which libraries have you used? (especially interested in strings, but also brass and woodwind too)

WHat violin library were you using in your examples?
