Play the oboe part in my band and play if I’m being honest I have no clue why I’m here. Easy for me yes, but can anyone hear it? NO. You have to be directly next to me on the right side to hear it properly

@@koalamarsc7452 all of this made me remember the first oboe from my all county orchestra who only had one dynamic ffffffffff. I could hear him when the horns were blasting in the end of Danse Bachanale
All their little bows frantically moving all at once like they're desperately trying to be heard as a tiny little army is equal parts adorable and sad 🥲
As a bad violinist, I can confirm that I can play songs perfectly fine on my own but when I’m playing in the school group or orchestra I’m just moving my bow up and down and hoping no one notices.
This is really funny. I thought it was just me. I used to move my fingers on the plastic flute we had to play in the 4th grade; I had a vague idea of what were supposed to be playing. Thanks.
When I moved to a new school and joined the orchestra, it turned out it was a wind orchestra and the school had no string groups to play with. So I played as the only violinist in the band and always felt so self-conscious about having the only bow moving up and down above everyone’s heads lol
Bro I am a violist and it so sad. Probably gonna switch because I'm better than most of our violinists and no it's not because my part is easier. I sometimes play their part by ear and it requires a lot of shifting.
join a string only orchestra. you're the main event, the title sequence, the intro, the plot. the subplot, the climax. the cliffhanger, the sequel, and the finale.
the violinists in my school were practically offended when they didnt have the melody in one of our pieces. and the few that did pit for our drama club? flabbergasted. they should try playing double bass, then theyll appreciate the parts they have
So it wasn't just me faking it in the back row?? I think I was approximately second violin number twenty-eight. Or maybe it was twenty-four. 7-note 16th-note runs in normie music (not classical) are even worse. Nobody knows how to write for a string section or single strings player, much less play music with them in a band.
I found this in the comments and I'm just spreading it around now lol: the piece is called Ein heldenleben by Strauss (Heldenleben Battle Scene) it sounds so good!!!!!!! GOD BLESS Y'ALL MY FRIENDS AND HAVE AN INCREDIBLE DAY 😊
Yes yes this is from the Battle Scene. It's a big excerpt for bass players. All 3 pages of it rip. We double the bass trombone so what you hear him playing is what we play.
playing a piece right now with the direction "passionately". we are pizz. we have a half not at the beginning of every bar (in 4/4). its 70 bpm. every other instrument has at least eight notes. even the violas have the melody.
I would have stopped playing the violin a long time ago if it weren’t for the wonderful feeling you get when you listen to the orchestra and realize that it’s you, and the song you have learned that sounds so amazing. Truly heart stopping
“Can you hear any violins?” Violins: The kid that’s dangerously close to drowning Double bass: The skeleton man tied to a chair at the bottom of the pool
I do percussion. No one pays attention to us unless you mess up. You lose the beat and the whole orchestra goes haywire. And unless you play shit like bells or the anvil no one thinks you re cool or talented cause all you do is bang around
this^ this right here. Every time I made an error my heart skipped a beat and I can feel the hell fire of my directors eyes staring at me. Not a good feeling o_o
Yes, but you get to have the time to prepare your solos, because they are not that many. Being a violinist you have to play solos too and everything in between. No breaks and the conductor knows when you're not playing the right notes, even if the audience doesn't hear it. I'm talking about professional league here and not amateur.
As a bass player I just love practicing licks for a while and then not having to fake them in orchestra even though you can’t really hear us lmao. It’s a personal satisfaction thing.
I can relate to this so much. I play the violin in an orchestra and saxophones and clarinetes are sitting behind me so I can't even hear MYSELF or the others who play a string intrument 😂😢
I played viola and trombone. As violist, we were the butt of jokes. However, I always got a great part when playing Brahms or Prokofiev. As a trombonist, we’d sit back and watch the violins tear up their instruments while laughing at the violas. So I got the best of both worlds. 😂
This reminds me of the ending of the Rimsky Korsakov Russian Easter Overture I played in high school. 152 to the half note and crazy, slurred, string crossing, arpeggios with accidentals eight note passages everywhere as a violist. Especially at the end. SO. FAST. And listening to the performance you can’t hear us, just the brass. I spent so many hours practicing those parts 🤦🏽♂️
Which is perhaps one reason why I have only ever wanted to play second violin! I just love it--I don't think about the reasons. I never wanted to play melody. I never wanted to have a solo (even with a violin section). And I never did, by choice, as a second violin! We have to play repetitive notes sometimes, the same two notes in the same eight-note rhythm for a whole page. Sometimes we get a part that's interesting, enjoyable, and occasionally audible! But it all matters! And I love it. Unfortunately, first violins are considered "better." At least among students. True and loyal second violins don't want to switch as soon as they're deemed worthy to be first! 😂 (kidding, kidding, don't worry! It just made me proud, growing up, to know there were fewer people who knew that second violin matters.)
Having done band, you may not hear it individually, but if all of them just didn’t play, it would sound off. It’s amazing what extra tones due to arrangements like this
Violists be like ghosts, haunting the background of every concert, unseen but always there. Meanwhile, the brass players sit in silence, waiting for their moment to shine.
as a double bass player, when i'm in rehearsals for concerts we would be playing a song while the violins just blast while the basses are just there lmaooo
we do so little in rehearsals sometimes that we just gossips about the second violins who arent playing properly or commending the violist who actually project their sound. gotta remember not to do that in concert tho
Lol. For me, the worse part is counting all the rests. I have ADHD which affects my counting process, so I always play at the wrong time and everyone gets mad at me
@@birdyghostly maybe you should just tell the arranger to WRITE MORE PARTS or smth. Or yu know, use other percussion. Especially exotic ones. They are fun... sounds like a good idea for an instrument collection
this is how I feel as a flute player. I had a performance at my school last night, and the flute players sit in the front but you still can’t hear them.
dude have you ever seen a trumpet part? especially classical parts for like mozart or betoven or hayden? it’s literally just like ‘G quarter note, half rest, G quarter note, half rest’ for 20 bars, then ‘C half note, C half note, C half note, C half note’ for another 17. that and 20+ bar rests for literally the whole piece and it’s the mort boring thing in the entire world, so yeah when we actually have fun parts once in a blue moon we’re gonna play them like it’s the best thing in the world, cause historically and comparatively speaking they might just be
& i’m sorry if i sounded a bit like an AH, but i’m sure that if you look at any trumpet part from the classical era you’ll agree that they’re the most lame and boring things in the world, and when strings have literally everything fun and interesting in almost every piece and have had everything fun and interesting for the past almost 500 years, then proceed to complain when we have one fun part out of a million, it can be rather frustrating and annoying
Speaking as a clarinetist, saxophonist, and soon to be cornet/trumpeter. WOODWIND AND BRASS REPRESENT! LETS F@#$ING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't believe the most privileged instrument in the orchestra is complaining. At least you ain't the timpani in a Beethoven symphony playing 2 notes, or the trombone waiting 50 minutes in Bruckner to play the climax. 💀
@@Quixel_Pixel_ we’re pretty much even? As Brass players we spend most of the time resting lol y’all never have that, come back to me when you’re resting for multiple movements in a piece.
@@Quixel_Pixel_ Well, I still don't think it is equal. The violins have generations of repertoire compared to instruments such as wood winds or brass. Don't complain.
Would be interesting to hear the song with each instrument dropping out to see what the difference would be. Kind of like making soup without the salt...you don't see it, but if it isn't there, it just isn't as good.
I'm a violaist not a violinist and let me tell you, I FEEL THIS. We never have anything good its all crazy notes for nothing. Its even like that in just string orchestras. One time we had to play a song and everyone got nice sheet music except for the violas. What did we get? Hand written notes that were so bad it was almost unreadable. For MONTHS none of the violas could figure out our part cause the note rhythm made no sense in the song, turns out the "rest notes" were supposed to be sharps....
Ein Heldenleben by Strauss (Des Helden Walstatt) One of my favourite works of Strauss! I'd recommend you to listen to the version of Strauss himself conducting Vienna Philharmonics. It's obviously an old recording so it lags a bit in terms of sound quality but imo it's still by far the best. You can even clearly hear the strings at the part of the video :D
