If you haven't seen (heard) these, you will be amazed.
Go watch these on youtube. (Two parts.)

This is another one that I think sounds even better but has only a slideshow instead of a video. Both parts are together, here.

So, I tried out for this pretty competitive youth orchestra and SOMEHOW I made it into the chamber group (I expected to get into the regular group at most)
I'm 16 and I've only been playing violin since I was 13 though, but I have been learning piano since I was 5 and I have perfect pitch so I picked up the violin pretty quickly. However, I know I'm not up to par with the people that are going to be in my orchestra because they've all been playing since they were little...and they all sound really good.
I don't want to be like second violin last stand though, and I'm really really scared that that's going to happen to me.
I've never had a seating audition before so can people tell me what to expect? I already received some of my songs:

Chamber - Brahms - Hungarian Dances 1,3 & 10; Vaughn Williams - Overture to "The Wasps"

Ahhhhh I only have until September 11 to practice and I am soo nervous! Any advice would be much appreciated!

Tschaikowsky's String Quartet in D major?
I know it's kinda 'out there'
but I'm part of a quartet that's trying to get this piece set up for a competition. I'm the celliest and I'm having a bit of difficulty with counting in the 9/8 time.
Even if you haven't played this piece...any helpful tips on counting with a 9/8 time? How can I practice this with a metronome? HELP!!! lol

Search for "Final Fantasy" on YouTube or music sharing programs. It is amazing classical music, not enough adults know of it as it is from a game.

I'm trying to put together a soundtrack for a documentary drama I'm producing, and I have some music in mind, but don't know the lyrics, and don't know the artists nor titles.

Everyone has heard the music before, but no one seems to know what it is called. It sounds like opera, and church music put together and is very dramatic like a choir singing gothic stuff in another language, but it sounds.. - umm..something like (please try not to laugh, I'm being serious and don't know any other way to describe it)

"hee huh huh hee [big drum sound] hee huh huh hee [big drum sound] hee huh huh huuuuuhhh huuuuuhhh huh heeeeeee [doo doot] (voices raise in tone) hee huh huh hee [doot doot] hee huh huh hee [doot doot] hee huh huh huuuuuuuuuuuh huuuuuuuh huh heeeeeeeee (lower tone) heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Does anyone know what it is (if you can decipher it)?

I've already played his 20th Sonata (Opus 49 No. 2). Everyone has told me to play his opus 49 sonatas, so I'm rephrasing my question and saying....What are some Beethoven sonatas I can play that aren't extremely difficult but are still challenging, excluding opus 49? I just think they're a little too easy.

I am considering purchasing a 'Marshall and Wendell' baby grand piano. Based on it's appearances, I was told it was made in the 1950s but the piano retailer cannot seem to locate the serial number.

Does anyone have any experience with this piano manufacturer? If so, do you have any suggestions on where the serial number may be located? Also, do you have any thoughts on this piano manufacturer? I did many online searches for this company and cannot seem to find to much information to date.

It's a 4 string tenor ukulele. I'm restringing it for my grandfather. He says the strings go out of order, but I think they should go according to thickness. What's the answer, and why?

Are there any composers that you would like to see receive more recognition? Perhaps you would like to see them become part of the standard concert repertoire? For me, I would have to put Charles Valentin Alkan, and Scarlatti at the top of my list of composers who don't get the recognition they deserve.

I doubt he is right. We will always listen to and perform traditional music. And we will always be making music in traditional forms and styles. However, we may one day make this music (in older styles) entirely electronically. That is, we may not use conventional instruments anymore. All the sounds we need can be produced electronically, and you will never know the difference.

What do you think?

I like songs that are loud and fast, with big chords, like the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, or Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor. Those are my favorite kinds of songs.

I also like very slow, beautiful songs, like some of Chopin's nocturnes.

Thank's for helping!

Recently I have been thinking about composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc., and how they in all probability would have composed pieces differently had their instruments been of the quality of todays instruments. For example, we know that Beethoven pushed the limits, and even redefined what one can do on the piano. If the piano had been even close to the quality of todays pianos, just imagine what he might have composed.....just a thought!

I'm just curious what other composers or pieces have this effect on other people. For me it is almost anything by Ravel.

No happy stuff... It's not that I'm a depressing kind of guy, I just think that sad and inspiring songs are the best.

that an answer I gave to a Beethoven trivia question was incorrect, yet I received a Best Answer. Being a man of honor, I am always willing to admit a mistake. Can you ever forgive me?

I will make it up to you all with dilligently researched answers in the future.

Can anyone give me some sort of short biography or at least glimpse into his work. Its rather curious you know? His very simple variations on the same scale but they are haunting and cerebral reaching out to a timid personality in all of us. Anyone know how he does it or how he got so popular?
