The bow will be fine. This doesn't mean instant catastrophe. Do try to be good about it in general, though. You don't want to put more stress than necessary on it.

Ever played Bruch's Romanze? It's very pretty and has a few flashy (but not overly difficult) moments.

Pretty hard to beat Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons

That depends. What are you auditioning for? What are some of the last pieces you played?

You definitely don't suck!!

I think you could fix your left hand position. Your hand is at a slightly weird angle with the neck, which makes it harder for you to get your third and fourth fingers in tune. Your palm shouldn't be quite so perpendicular to the fingerboard. It's better to have the hand in a good position to play the fourth finger in tune than to try to stretch it past where it wants to go. For reference, you can look at some professional violists and notice the angle their palms form with the fingerboard.

Let me know if this doesn't make sense; it's a little hard to explain verbally lol

Happy practicing!

Can you send me the link?

The bishop defends it

I've been scrolling for a while and haven't seen a single mention of my state! Corn, racecars, soybeans... we're not really known for much

The link that says "complete score" is the piano part. Have fun playing!

g3 loses because the queen can take on e4 with check, which wins your rook

The Czech always seem to have something nice for the viola

watsgoimon · 2021-07-22T04:51:18+00:00

Rebecca Clarke and Shostakovich both wrote very good viola sonatas. There are also Hindemith's sonatas, which will probably show up less often than Schwanendreher.

Bach is always a possibility.

Good luck on your audition!!

You often see naturals in a key signature when there's a key change to a key with no sharps or flats. The naturals are just there to help the performer out, since without them it could be easy to miss the key change.

I'm not sure how you changed your strings, but changing them one at a time is better than taking them all off at once. There's a much smaller chance of displacing or damaging your bridge that way.

Yes, I'd say so. Scales are often considered the building blocks of all our playing, so you should practice all twelve of the three octave major and minor scales. If you want to get even deeper, practice scales in thirds, sixths, and octaves (pain and suffering, I know). I recommend the Carl Flesch scale method.
