      Same me too, as the viola section leader for my orchestra, we're playing this piece this year and I love it so much the solo in the beginning gives me chills whenever I play it and I find it so fun to play, the whole piece is a wonderful masterpiece that people should hear

    My orchestra never could've played this piece at the beginning of the year, we tried in September, and then when we tried in May we could play it in one go and we sounded amazing. Patience and passion in music really does pay off after awhile.

    So in my school there is Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, Symphonia, and Chamber. I am Intermediate and i convinced my Orchestra teacher that we could play this and to be honest this is just GORGEOUS! Plus, the chamber(highest level) is playing it too. And for those who comment what they play, i am first violin and i like my part a lot. And for those Bass players who complain in the comments, I love your part btw.

Fast forward now im ending my middle school year. I still love this song, my class hates it lol, i still think its a beautiful piece and i get to be violin one first chair for it so im really excited. Its the only song i still get chills listening to thats how pretty it is.

      The Bean practice at a slower tempo then make your way up, try to go with the flow of the song, don't play to staccatoey and if you mess up it's okay and try again, if you don't get the main then that should motivate you to do even better for the next solo opportunity you have

    Played this as a viola. Liked the song. Hated playing it, because I became a violinist to bolster my ego with melody, not to pluck every now and then. :)
