Hi! :pp
Hahahaha, as requested, I shall post an e-sectional! Yay * Claps! *
Hmm.. Which piece shld I do? I know! I shall do John Rutter’s Suite for Strings. Let’s start! (:
A-Roving (themovementwiththeveryhighnotesattheend)
The movement starts with you needing to use more than 2 strings! So, for violists’ standards, hmm, playing 2 notes quite in tune is good enough. (:
Then you will get to the 5th bar, where there is a sharp contrast in dynamics with the first four bars, sooo play it veryveryveryvery soft. Softer than your whisper.
After that, you will reach the pizz parts, the rhythm’s looks kindda difficult but if you stare hard and carefully enough, it’s actually quite easy. Yea, and I meant stare at Bjorn, Zheng or Mr Chan. Not your scores. -.-
Oook, after some time, you will reach the part where u have divisi and semiquavers. Yeap, it’s fast but still mugging help. If mugging still doesn’t help(typical violist), slap yourself and fake that part. And when you fake, fake it in tune and with the correct bowing. To avoid suspicion and unnecessary trouble. After that ordeal, you will reach a part similar to the beginning, soo refer up pls.
flips page * basically, remain soft throughout the 2nd page, until the last entry of the page, spam! But come in like mendelsson. Like bah bahhhh bahhhh bahhhh. Get it?
Soon, you will reach the first solo of the piece, the con brio part. As violists, I assume you all dunnoe the meaning soo I shall enlighten you. It means with vigour! Soo you know what to do.
Immediately after that easy part, you reach your climax. I mean the piece’s climax. Where the upper player plays an octave apart from the lower player. And the higher player having to go up the a string and stuff, while the lower player slacks away! Wooohooo! (: for the upper players only, gd luck! (;
Then you will end the piece with some ascending notes and sooon you will find yourself at the highest d u can probably reach with ur A string. Yea, that part. MUG, mug still cannot because you are a violist, then look up, stare hard at you-know-where. Yea yea and I know chay choong will get all horny. Yea, just follow the bowings and try to play. TRY, it’s ok if u cannot, becoz I cannot get it every time also. yea and the mvmt concludes with some d notes on ur c string. Not very difficult, is it? NO, u are not forceful enuf, u nid to dig in. and chay choong suggestive eh? Relax. I know I’m hot but still. .so the point is play it hard, play it loud. (:
Hah, and I’m done with the first mvmt. And I’m like quite tired, soo I shall continue with the rest of the piece some other time.
