a viola in the house

There is a viola in the house. It's been at least 12 years since I played a viola. And about five since I dragged out my violin for more than five minutes. I am extremely rusty. Extremely. My intonation makes me cringe. Still, let's start at the very beginning. Well with some Bach anyway. I love love love these Bach cello suites. This is one of the easier and more well known movements. I used to be able to play some of the others when I was playing regularly. I am determined to improve...and perhaps start going to the Bundaberg Symphony Orchestra (always known in my mind as the Bundaberg Sympathy Orchestra....a title it gained for me after a faux pas by a Mayor of long ago when I was younger). Here I am playing it this afternoon.....

Oh thank you. I often recognise the music you play or showcase and it is always a joy!! Good luck with the Sympathy goal!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have some new strings on order as I think these ones have been on their for over a decade. I'll keep you updated on the sympathy :-)
