Workshop

This time of the year again, away from work and making music for the next 3 days. After a full day hard work. we are having fun playing whatever placed on the music stands. Sight reading challenge.

At the concert on Saturday, I am going to play this piece, with extra double base.

Beautiful piece and photo

[Krista Marson]

Music takes such time and practice

[Yao RL]

@kali66 it is by Samuel Barber simply called Adagio for Strings, It is used in movie Platoon, that may be why it is sound so recognisable.

Admiration for your talent and dedication. Love this Adagio.

[Susie]

Lovely to be able to make such lovely music, play on

[Domenico Dodaro]

Wonderful. You are not in the photo, are you? I do so miss playing: last and only time I did a sight reading challenge was three years ago, for my first grade BRSM test with the flute. Then stopped playing. That adagio is the challenge: giving a body and a meaning to all those long notes without abusing of vibrato... wow!

[Yao RL]

@domenicododaro No I am not as my sight reading is poor, poor, poor. I can see that you are a music player, it is absolutely exposed.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yaorenliu I was, sadly... From what do you say it's exposed?

[Yao RL]

I meant that every note has to be perfect in this super slow movement. @domenicododaro

[Domenico Dodaro]

@yaorenliu ah, got it. Yes, I love the slow tempos. But you need a voice!

[Louise & Ken]

How marvelous to know you're a musician as well as a photographer!
