Thread: What Are You Working On Right Now? (Strings Version)

I believe I have not yet listed my last pieces I got, and hopefully getting something more next week, I hope. Also, I hope I NEVER have to play Lalo's Spanish Symphony EVER again.

Wieniawski's Concerto in D minor
Wieniawski's Caprice La Velocite

I'll arrange Lalo's Spanish Symphony for violin and guitar for us to play then.

So nice of you. I think if I ever have to play that again I'll go mad.

My teacher, lesson after lesson, tried to get me to play it in the right style. Only on Friday did I get it up to his standards. I AM SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE SPANISH MUSIC! (Ok, I don't hate listening to it, but I hate playing it)

I also hate Spanish music.

Adam Carse studies for Viola, first book

Besides my normal Simandl and Rabbath etudes for double bass, I printed the bass arrangement for Tchiakovsky's Serenade for Strings. I might give it a run-through for grins.

FINALLY! New music!

Saraste: Romanza andaluza
Wieniawski: Legende

Annoying typos, that was meant to be Sarasate.

I've gone back to Philip Hii's transcription of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.

Right now I'm trying to play Gabriel Faure's "Pavane".

Since my father-in-law died last week and my family wants to hold a memorial for him, I decided to get the first section of Bach's Chaconne (the initial set of minor variations) back under my fingers and play it there. Bach wrote it after his wife died, so I think playing it in memoriam at the service is appropriate.

Hopefully I'll be playing this next year:



It's the only orchestral version I could find on YouTube. I hate this guys technique.

More Wieniawski. I have to learn this, I have a month before I have to play it at a concert with my teacher (who is obviously going to be playing the easy part ).
