Listening to Markéta Janoušková: L’astre Bleu

It is a lovely album. Markéta has intensely incredible skill as a #violinist. This not the type of #violin performance we hear often and that is obvious from the first listening. I bought the album when it was first released out of curiosity and it demonstrated one occasion where I somehow used my better judgment, as it is an outstanding album.
She is not as popular in the English speaking world, but is well known.

Причин было много... но самое время это исправить, лол.

Буду выкладывать свой прогресс, писать заметки, может быть хоть так начну заниматься
больше.

Сегодня я покажу вам
Бурре и Жигу из партиты И.С. Баха №3 (ми мажор).

Пока только разобрал, стараюсь держать темп и показывать динамику. Пока путаюсь в штрихах и аппликатуре, в часть нот не попадаю, слишком слышны переходы и надо доучить конец. Зачем-то показываю слабые доли в начале. Надо поучиться переносить смычок со струны на струну, вести мелодическую линию, соединять смычки. А вы думали я
Хилари Хан?

Нормально на первое время заданий
😅

Оценивайте, ставьте
дизлайки, всем удачи и всем пока.

P.S. запись надо поучиться улучшать в
Audacity в Tenacity, пока никаких фильтров не делал кроме Noise Reduction, потому что сама запись не очень (записано на Pixel 6A)

P.P.S. вот это настоящий

I can always tell when Fabio Biondi is playing violin. Of baroque violinists he is one of the most distinctive. He tends to use vibrato more liberally than most baroque violinists. This perhaps reflects more influence from Geminiani’s violin treatise which seems to recommend greater use of vibrato than Leopold Mozart’s treatise, iirc.

He also likes to playfully mix up accents in repeated phrases, creating little surprising syncopations.

I used to love playing #Mendelssohn's #ViolinConcerto in E minor. Used to jam with my ex - she would play the piano and I'd be playing this on the violin.

It's been maaaaany years since I've picked up the #violin though. Wonder how much of it I can still remember. Wonder what I can still play.

OK, this is my last choice for #EuropeanFolkDay, it's the first tune that I heard from them, and introduced me to a completely new and unexpected approach to folk music. They have some roots in #Ireland but many roots all over the place. If you find one band from my posts today, seek these people out.

Still vibing on how this latest release turned out.

In many of the #recordings of my past #compositions that feature #violin, I found them too harsh in the high end frequencies, even after trying lots of different bowing styles and articulations. I've now leaned into using cello and double bass players playing in their highest registers for the same notes, getting much more rounded and gritty sound as a result. I love it!

I have now practised fiddle every day for 50 days.

To be clear: it sounds dreadful. I will not be posting audio or video any time soon. But it sounds dreadful in interesting ways, and it's a tiny bit less dreadful every day.

I played a little violin as a small child, and when I gave it up, aged nine or so, I remember being told 'you will regret this when you are older, you know' I also remember thinking nah, I really won't.

Turns out they were right.

Possibly useful if you too are at that awkward intersection between beginner fiddle players and people comfortable with Linux command line tools who also have both Ruby and ffmpeg installed: here's a short script to play a drone on the given note for five minutes that may or may not actually be helpful when practising scales:

Pulled out my violin before work today, for the first time since moving. It felt amazing. I need to give my viola a whirl, too.

#Seattle: know of any ensembles looking for #violin or #viola players? Especially ones with diverse repertoire, or just not “traditional” stuff at all? I played in a disco/soul/funk orchestra at one point, I did music from The Band and Dave Matthews Band at my last pre-pandemic show, and I love jazz and fiddling. I’d love to get way out there again.

So I finally broke down and started back on the fiddle after a break of more than forty years.

Sounds absolutely horrible all of eleven days in, but best decision I've made in a very long time.

I have Suzuki book 1, Wohlfarht, and the Berthoud Learn To Play Irish Fiddle book. About to book a lesson with a local teacher to help me avoid Bad Habits.

I bet I already have Bad Habits.

In other news I am already thoroughly sick of Twinkle Twinkle and Lightly Row.

#fiddle #violin #beginner

My #orchestra's May concert is online. It's a pretty fresh set of music by American composers - #JohnAdams, #LeonardBernstein, #aaroncopland and more. I'm realizing I could be a bit more "economical" with my bowing, and stop making faces when I goof up...but more importantly, this is just such a GOOD GROUP of people. And I'm proud of the orchestra for challenging itself to do diverse repertoire.

Starting to focus on finding a local #orchestra. Musician CVs are a thing. Which is kind of funny, because I've had a private teacher for all of 3 months, I never studied music outside of middle/high school orchestra, and I can't remember most of the pieces my past orchestras played. 😅

Another thing: submitting video recordings of yourself playing for auditions. You think hearing your own voice is bad? I can only imagine how excruciating watching myself play will be...

I was in town this afternoon and walking up Oliver Plunkett Street, came across Ryan Parsons, a very talented violinist busking on the street. A sizeable crowd gathered around in front of me, enjoying the music. The gentleman in the background of this photo was evidentially enjoying the music too, waving his hand in time with the beat of the tune.

What have I been doing and where is the next video? Uuuuuuh :psyduck_sweat:​

I maaay have been getting distracted by all of the things, including this wonderful piece that I actually wrote out the sheet music for ages ago but never got around to completing the recording/video (I'm still trying to figure out if I can record at my computer without just showing the whole world how bad I am at sorting, or if I can get a decent recording situation away from the coputer for the video for the melody :growlithe_hmm:​ )

I sometimes do a "guess that piece" thing, but with both the bass and harmony parts, I feel like 90% of my followers here could not just name the game it comes from, but the name of the track, too (and knowing you all, probably hum/whistle/play the melody :zerotwo_excited:​ )

While I'm getting next video put through the various processes, here's something I did years and years back when I first came out of my 5-year hiatus :shiba_excited:​

(Boosts, likes, and subscribes help, and if you want to donate, that helps a ton, too~ :zerotwo_hearts:​ )

I'm kind of wondering how many people have actually seen the anime. It's surprisingly old, though it's not quite 90s old :leafeon_giggle:​ Considering the demographic of the Fedi, more people here might know of it than elsewhere :bugcat_dance:​

It's one of, if not the only, Kajiura Yuki piece that I've recorded, but it's one of my old favourites. Aside from BT being a character I like, something about this track spoke to me and I ended up writing 3 parts for the violin to go on top of the piano part in the original :zerotwo_learn:​

Unlike most of my other recordings, I had the time to go through and put 2 violins on each of the 3 parts, giving a bit more of the silkiness of orchestras compared to the more distinct sound of 1 violin per part in a small ensemble :cat_ooh:​

Yaaaay! :dracthyr_yay:​ Another recording (using my poor condenser mic that's been lying idle for a few months now :leafeon_giggle:​ )

This morning, I posted this: https://cutie.city/@OctaviaConAmore/110672262930502682

The result of the work you see there is this recording.

@viralvulpes performed this gorgeous rendition of Someone Like You a while back, and from the night I heard it, it made me want to record parts for it, but my recording equipment was scattered at the time. Fast forward to a few nights ago when I set everything back up, and then last night when I did trouble-shooting, arranging, recording, and mixing :panda_yay:​ :shiba_excited:​

(Original recording: https://cutie.city/@viralvulpes/110433222355572214)

Aside from adding a bit of violin to the piece, I also did some EQing and a couple of minor effects to both bring out what was already gorgeous about Fox's recording as well as help blend the two tracks together (having different recording environments and equipment is a royal pain for this :blobfox_laugh_sweat:​ )

After sending him the finished file, he also gave me permission to post it here for you to hear. I hope I've done the Fox's original justice :bear_love:​ :espeon_love:​

Thank you again, @viralvulpes for allowing me to post this~ :hug_love:​

p.s. If you have experience with audio engineering and hear something I could do better, I'm always wanting for practical pointers :bugcat_dance:​

So I have a group of students who have some intensive auditions coming up in a couple months. We’re working on their three-octave scales like beavers, sometimes spending 1/3 to 1/2 of their lessons on scales.

What this means is that I’m rapidly getting sick of listening to/teaching scales, so my students who *don’t* have imminent auditions are often getting off without having to play scales for me at all. This is neither sustainable nor wise. 😅 #Violin #ViolinLessons #Violinist

I’m thinking about getting a silent #violin so I can practice but then I’m immediately overwhelmed with the options. Definitely want a five string so I can practice violin and #viola. The price ranges seem enormous, though, even though the instruments look pretty much the same to me?

Anyone have a buyers guide?

Hi! I’m Violinknitter, and I joined Mastodon in one of the fall 2022 Twitter exoduses. I found a fairly comfy little niche, and have been chattering happily here ever since.

I play violin, teach violin & viola, have a ridiculously long TBR list, listen to audiobooks & podcasts constantly. I like to chatter about #books, #yarn, #knitting, #HandSpinning, #fantasy, #musicology, #violin, #Pokémon, and #cooking & #baking

:zerotwo_wow:​ Here's a second video in the span of 3 days! This time, it's the Gen 1 opening from the Pokemon game series which is short, sweet, energetic, and bloody fun to play :charmander_yay:​

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgW-3AhZyuw

I've added an extra touch or two in the video editing phase this time and I'd be curious to hear how people like or dislike them (along with, as always, any input about the audio). It feels like I'm learning just a few little things about editing with each video I put out, and I'm hoping that I can stick with it and get steady progress (unlike the first years of my channel, I'm using the same software (DaVinci Resolve) for a bunch of videos in a row so I can actually build some skills :blobfox_laugh_sweat:​

As always, boosting helps a ton, and if you like my music, please consider donating :leafeon_money:​ so that I can take care of my violin (and my body, but the violin comes first :espeon_love:​​ )

European dancing masters used to have pochette “kit fiddles” 🎻

Short for “pocket” because they’d fit in special pockets like that sewn into their jackets:

Woot! Another recording drop :cat_wow:​:zerotwo_dance:​ :rainbow_dance:​
(Itsumo Nando Demo (Always With me) from Spirited Away arranged for 2 violins)

I had to bring it a 5th up compared to the solo arrangement I normally play to make it so that there's space under the 1st violin part for the 2nd part to actually move :bugcat_dance:​ but it still feels like the same gorgeous piece I play at least a few times a week :espeon_love:​

Thinking back, this was the first audio CD that I owned. After seeing it in theatres with a childhood friend when it first aired in Japan, he got me the CD of it and it's a piece and memory that I cherish :blobhaj_love:​

It seems it's also left quite the impression on the bride because she was the one that suggested this piece for the processional. I can't wait to play it on the day of (which is fast approaching)

Do any of you have memories tied to this piece, or Spirited Away in general?

Hi, I'm a professional violinist who plays soundtracks :sylveon_squish:

Ok, #Introduction over. I'm a musician, not a wordsmith :growlithe_derp:
... ... ...
I'm being gently informed by my responsible half that I'm to write a *proper* intro, as she puts it...
... ... ...

<wall-o'-text>
Hi Fedi/Mastodon, I'm Octavia, a 30ish Japanese and USian violinist (and composer) whose mother introduced her to the violin at age 5 and Super Mario Brothers at age 3. This would go on to have profound consequences, chief amongst which was that the majority of the activities I enjoy involve fingertip dexterity. The secondary effect was that I would go on to use the classical training I received throughout my childhood to, for the most part, play soundtracks while letting my classical repertoire languish :blobhaj_peek:

Nintendo classics like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Pokemon, and Smash, JRPG classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy (IX and X specifically), movie soundtracks including a bunch of Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki Hayao works, Disney, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribbean, and Master & Commander (which is just my excuse to play the Bach Cello Suite no. 1: Prelude :leafeon_giggle: ), and a few anime pieces here and there (along with at least one My Little Pony theme :blobhaj_jam: ) are the bulk of what I play when I perform solo. I do play classical pieces here and there, but they mostly tend to be various movements from the Bach Cello Suites, along with a smattering of Celtic music, though I try to mix everything together in my sets, leaving people guessing as to what's a soundtrack and what's not :blobhaj_peek:

I perform at various conventions in the Pacific Northwest of the US (formerly in Brook and Link cosplays), whether inside or outside, and also perform as part of Troupe Seven Stars at faires in the area over the summer months while filling the rest of my time playing solo or ensemble shows, mostly near Portland. About half of Saturdays are spent performing at Fleur de Lis Bakery & Cafe in the Hollywood district.

I tend to spend my free time dissociating in the shower, overcoming whatever ADHD lobs my way, and running out the door like an alternate-universe fusion of Bilbo Baggins and the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland (though, to my astonishment, I've only been late to 2 gigs in my life that I remember). What crumbs of time are spared from those tend to be spent on gaming, reading manga/watching anime, listening to and sharing music (yes, mostly soundtracks), and enjoying what the internet has to offer.

Aside from needing to hop instances, I've found my time on the Fedi to be enjoyable, and I hope to keep meeting interesting, genuine people and sharing time and conversations together :espeon_love:

Hilary Hahn! 🎻 🎶🎶
👏👏👏👏👏

➡️ Sarasate: Carmen Fantasy, Op. 25: I. Moderato

“My emphasis in this interpretation is to make the piece operatic, so you can imagine hearing the words and the story they tell,” comments Hahn.
"This video is from Hilary Hahn’s concert with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony and its Music Director (2014-2021), Andrés Orozco-Estrada, on 17 June 2021."
