linuxviolin Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 The rules are simple. If you post an attachment, play Bach. It doesn't matter what, be it from the Sonatas and Partitas, the Suites, the six Partitas and Overtures in the French style, the minuets, but it must be Bach. Of course, all comments without attachments are welcome. I'm starting off with an excerpt from the Ciaccona... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Good job. I tried reading this movement last night and fell apart after the first two chords, so I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxviolin Posted December 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Yeah, it's really tricky sightreading. If you get to practicing it, do one part of the chord at a time (top line, then two top lines, etc.) I still have trouble with that part, plus I left my music in my mother's car, so I did a part that I know a bit better.

Yojimbo Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Very nice. I'd like to hear more. Ah well - I tried to post my Bach clip from last summer's Solstice Festival, but its too big. Time for some new clips - of course, finding time in the holiday season is not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxviolin Posted December 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Try renaming it without spaces in the title. So everyone, two of us want to hear more. I might post some more, but not until a few more of you post some Bach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojimbo Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Nope - its just to big. Back to the studio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer_breeze Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 good job!! I just love playing that one. It is probably my favorite of the bach sonatas and partitas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linuxviolin Posted December 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Would you like for me to record it on viola tomorrow? BTW, for recording on here, all you need is a cheap mic and a sound card. I was using my spare of a spare Sony ECM-909 that we've had I don't know how long and it seemed to work just fine.

oldgeezer Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Very nice playing from linuxviolin and a good thread. I hope some people will post attachments. I’m listening to Yojimbo’s cello clip downloaded from COA. Supposedly you can post up to a 10MB clip. This ought to fit because it’s only 3.57MB ??? Maybe there’s some kind of timeout problem.

linuxviolin Posted December 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 No, it's a 1 mb limit, which makes for a bit over a minute of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk1997 Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Good job linux....so hows about that violin duel between you and OTH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxviolin Posted December 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Now that she has a viola, we can do the Ciaccona on viola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primrose84 Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 if it pleases you so...i don't have a mic to record it to the comp...nor do i have a cd burning recorder. my friend and i play the chaconne in fifths (him on violin, me on viola)...it makes for some really ugly chords, but also some chords that are unbelievably cool and jazzy.

altistitar* Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Here's my Sarabande from the first Viola suite (sometimes this suite is also called the first Cello suite, I wonder why... ) Primrose84, playing the Ciaccona in fifths must be fun... Sometimes we do that in our quartet. Once we played kreutzer 2, the violinists played it in the original key, me a fifth down in F major, and our cellist in Bb major... It was pretty "jazzy" indeed!

altistitar* Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Somehow the file wasn't uploaded... When I clicked the link I got a 404 error. So if it doesn't work, try http://koti.mbnet.fi/caroline/bach1.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernst Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Wow! If only I could play so beautifully, I would ask for no more! I am afraid that even if I practiced for the rest of my life I just do not have enough years left to reach that level. Thanks for the beautiful music.

Ernst Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Wonderful, simply wonderful! Thank you for sharing your music, and the Bach post is a great idea! It seems that you and alistar have performed so masterfully that all others are hesitant to contribute. It should not be this way, especially at such a magical time of year. As a real rookie I do not have to worry about trying to match your level, and besides, tonight I am either too dumb or thick skinned to be shy. So, here is a piece from Bach - the good old "Minuet 1". I am sure many will recognize it from their early studies. Forgive my clumsiness, it is difficult when you start at my age.

alemap Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Very nice Ernst!! Before you know it you will be playing the Chaconne too Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondinaperret Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Wow Ernst! I'm impressed! So far in such a short time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aamtnbike Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 FANTASTIC! those fourth fingers in the first half of that song are tricky, and you nailed em!!! (you know the ones from the G(on your d-string) to the E (4 on A) Great clip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgeezer Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Since I sang Jingle Bells for the Gong Show on the Soapbox, I’ll post a Bach quickie (14 sec) here. This one’s not very good either but if it offends your ears too much you’ll have to bong the gong yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernst Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 You have been holding back my friend! I am impressed. BTW: I liked your singing! No GONG was necessary! Alemap, Ondine, aamtnbike, and all - thanks for the kind words of encouragement. That, and hearing the posts of all of you wonderful players is what gives me inspiration!
