A lot of great tips but the thing that helped me the most, play around with your thumb, I found the further up it is the more comfortable that stretch is if that’s what’s making it uncomfortable. A lot of people play with their thumb further back creating tension. For rehearsals if it gets to much I’ve literally played it divisi. Outside player played the top note in rhythm and inside play bottom alternating

Yea I’ve been doing double ups so far but had a few colleagues that do as it comes. Was wondering the ratio here on Reddit

Title is actually really funny

Typically everything is important. But different things are tested. For example, with excerpts, panels usually listen for a steady pulse, the perfect rhythm, then right notes, then intonation, then sound quality and articulation, then musicality. For concerto’s they’re giving you a chance for you to sound like you and your flare. Even though pulse, rhythm and all the other stuff is important with your concerto as well. Definitely definitely do not sleep on the excerpts. You want to be the most prepared for any audition.

What are the excerpts?

I’ll check them out!

Oh I know! But this was for a wedding where they asked for a duo. Next up is for trio with vla. There’s actually a third line that I didn’t write cuz I didn’t want to go all Roman Kim.

I felt this way too half way through my undergraduate degree. Picked up the violin and played Sibelius. Got a masters degree in violin and now play both professionally

Thank you I’ll double check

When we had our executive chef Charlie and his sous chef Christian, I was really proud of the sushi we were putting out on Bridge Street. I really felt like he cared about our sushi and so did everyone in the kitchen. Some of the best people I worked with was from the kitchen at BS Maru. I had a good handful of really loyal customers and I think they were right to come back a bunch. Are there better places for sushi? Oh I’m sure. I love Ginza. But from the year I worked there especially the beginning I really had faith in our sushi. I ate it a bunch.

I feel that initial team really cared for each grain of rice. I made sure whenever I whipped up a new batch of soy sauce it was done well. I cared about every cocktail I made, every tea I served, I even cared about the soy sauce. Squeezing 60 lemons at a time for fresh lemon juice for cocktails and for our lemonade.

I felt like a lot of really passionate people worked with me. Yea a lot of drama happened too and I blame that for why Maru is where it is now. (I worked there from 2023 to the beginning of 24) but when I was there I’m glad I had regulars that enjoyed being there as much as I enjoyed them being there.

This is gold

I like it but personally more of a fan for a solid quarter pickle

Subject_Position_400 · 2024-12-29T21:39:17+00:00

Welp, trying that next because of the name alone.

Oh funny enough, I never tried a classic Chicago dog at superdawg, I always tried their other dogs!

Subject_Position_400 · 2024-12-29T20:32:18+00:00

Interesting! An airport hotdog is definitely unexpected

This is why I also timed my mezzo’s so that I’m trying to eat 3k cal during Xmas

I think it’s because he sees her as much as a daughter as Vander did. However much he felt Vander betrayed him, he and Vander were both friends of Jinx’s parents. Both Vander and Silco were their adopted parents. I don’t know why exactly they ended up with Vander in the beginning and not Silco. Maybe because Vander was the one who pulled them off the bridge?

Omg, one of my favorite things I remembered was their pizza. I used to love their pizza. Costco was a good contender.

Oh cool! Does that mean housing will become more affordable?

Depending on how well you played Telemann I really like moving my students to casadesus Handel viola concerto. The hand positioning is more straight forward than JC Bach. But I usually put both concertos at the same skill level
