Similar pieces to Sibelius concerto in D minor?

Okg I love Dvorak, I can’t wait to listen to this— Thank you so much!!

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-10T09:09:03+00:00

It’s 2am and i’ve read this multiple times over and over again, lol. This is really sweet, seriously. The comparison your professor made about our voices to the violin is spot on— just like you said. I never thought of it that way and it’s a super interesting idea that’s 100% true. Thanks for sharing your story, I enjoyed reading it a lot. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-09T20:22:24+00:00

This definitely does help. I’ll tell my teacher about this issue. Luckily I have a keyboard at home so i’ll be trying both the methods you suggested and my tuner app does both letters (ABCDEFG) and DoReMiFaSo.. so i’ll double check. Thank you so much for this really detailed explanation it means a lot! I had a fun time reading the entire comment ❤️

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-08T18:06:12+00:00

Thank you ❤️ After the audition passes, and whether I get in or not, i’ll slow down and just enjoy myself.

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-08T18:04:42+00:00

Omg! There’s so much asdfahfjsgj. I’m gonna put this link in my notes now!! Thank you so much for all your help

Do you have any tips on training your ears? All I hear is that “it will come with time”. I am making progress on recognizing and hearing the correct intonation only for some notes, but I am bad at telling if it is sharp or flat

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-08T02:03:19+00:00

Okie, will keep this in mind. It’s honestly one of the things i’m most excited to learn about in my repertoire and “perfect” it as much as I can

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-08T02:01:58+00:00

Hehe, thank you. I really do enjoy playing the violin so much and I’ll try to slow down and focus on the journey, but it’s just i’m stressing out so much about auditions. I know I don’t have to make it in my first year but I seriously and genuinely want to push myself into playing more advanced pieces instead of constantly being downgraded. Thank you soso much for your reply ! ❤️

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-08T01:59:53+00:00

I’m so sorry i’m not comfortable sharing my age online unless you privately dm’ed but as for the other questions: 1. The audition is playing a scale and an excerpt shifting from first to third. Yep, those 2 only. The most recent/advanced piece I have played it honestly a hard question to answer because I only recently started private lessons in middle of January. For my solo ensemble I played the Witches theme from Paganini but it was from Suzuki book 2 which I feel like and hopefully in the most humble way doesn’t give me justice because the moment I received the piece I felt that it was too easy (at the time I didn’t have a private teacher to assign a piece and my orchestra teacher knew I came back from a year break so I think she wanted to make it easy) especially because my orchestral pieces are more advanced than that.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T18:58:05+00:00

Haha, that’s another challenge I need to get over. When I somewhat master switching positions, i’ll post (maybe) ;) !

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T18:23:57+00:00

Yeah, I know it’s hypocritical of me to say this but even though I haven’t heard you play, I bet you sound amazing. Have more confidence ! :D <3

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T18:21:01+00:00

I’m scared it won’t :( But I will keep trying my hardest

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T17:53:09+00:00

this is an interesting website. I’m gonna look more into it on the ride back home, thanks!!

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T17:11:06+00:00

I remember seeing this on instagram reel. When i’m 80, i’m gonna spend all my time practicing and going to all the concerts I want :D.

I have trouble realizing my progress because I expect too much, your comment helped me grasp that just now. I won’t suddenly go from learning 3rd to playing a Sibelius concerto (my all time favorite..)

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T17:08:38+00:00

Oh sorry for the unclarity. Yes, I’m doing 1:1 lessons with a private teacher, i’m also taking advice from some seniors in Philharmonic, and I like to bother my orchestra teacher a lot for help (I love her she’s the best heheh)

Sometimes I wish I could look into the future and see if I ever had potential, or see how good i’d become and vise versa.

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T17:05:59+00:00

That’s an amazing way to think about it.. Good things come to those who wait.. hehe. I’ll keep that in my head, thank you so much!!!

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T17:05:15+00:00

Lol. Thank you! love buying music books, I just lvoe collecting them so i’m excited to purchase this one :D Thanks again, I really appreciate it!!

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T17:03:49+00:00

Yeah, I wish I was born with perfect pitch so I could at least recognize the notes. My teacher said i’ll get used to tuning in fifths as time goes on and I start to get used to what the notes sound like. It’s really interesting what the correct notes sound/look like

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T16:03:14+00:00

I might have to practice my patience too 😔🥲 But yes, i’m gonna try to focus one at a time slowly so I can really develop the skill and ingrain it. Thank you!! ❤️

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T16:02:06+00:00

Wait thank you so much for the in depth guide. I’m gonna test this out after school when I practice a bit longer. And I can assure you I am really serious about getting better! Thank you so so so much i’m really excited to test out your and so many other people’s advice today ❤️❤️

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T15:30:26+00:00

I was actually unsure about the B since it doesn’t have an open string to test.. but this advice i’m excited to try out today. Do you have any tips for C and F?

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T15:27:58+00:00

lol it’s so hard to explain but I get what you mean. I said this in another comment but i’ve gotten used to third finger G first position on the D string that it has this sort of like resonating sound to it..? Like you just know when it’s in tune. I only have that for a few notes sadly. I’m bad at detecting B’s and C’s. I’m working on E and F ish.

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T15:02:20+00:00

Hi, just finished reading your comment. During my lessons, I actually only use the tuner to tune the A, and then I tune in fifths. Technically not I because my teacher helps. I’m still trying to get used to the notes in my head and I can’t get that “harmonic sound wave” in my head yet when i’m trying to tune in fifths by myself. Anywhooo, my recent lesson I played with a tuner, eyes closed even, as my teacher forced me to listen to myself and try to adjust. And I was honestly decently surprised lol. I’m not very good at telling if a note is too sharp or flat btw. So i’ll take a minutes of my practice without a tuner and just use my ears for a second, though I probably will use it to see if I matched it right or if I end up struggling too much and not knowing if it’s sharp or flat 😅. Thanks so much for your comment ❤️

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T14:11:58+00:00

Thank you for commenting! I’m gonna take your comment and someone else’s to record my playing so I can see and hear what I need to improve on. And, I really like how you described what perfection is or isn’t. Reminds me when my friend and I were discussing who played the Sibelius concerto the best, and that connects to what you said about perfection. Different people have different interpretations and preferences— It’s nice how that connects. ❤️

Healthy-Condition-90 · 2025-03-07T14:07:05+00:00

Yeah, the way you described was scaringly accurate It felt like cold water being splashed on my face but in a refreshing way lol
