Yay we have a winner! 🎊🎉🤓

The hard part is keeping track of my bow during the fifths 😅

@@hyrumkohler oh yeah that too!

Funny that you ask, because I just use the built-in microphone on my Pixel 5 right now. I've been considering upgrading to an external microphone for my DMA auditions 🤔

😂 I guess in a way you're right

Glad you like it!

As you wish 🫡 I have several shorts ready to upload now

@@hyrumkohler great!

Excellent question! That's referring to the size of the interval or distance between the two pitches I am playing. Both tenths and fifths are technically difficult due to having to stretch more and play both strings with one finger, respectively. This is why I used the thumb, since I can have greater accuracy and control but using two fingers instead of one. Excuse the novel 😂🤓🎻

@@hyrumkohler oh ok then! And one more question I see like three notes on a song I’m doing and there in the same staff line it’s called like a dvad or something or a cord how do I do that if my fingers don’t reach it? Or how to play it

If what you're playing is properly meant for your instrument, it probably what is called a triple-stop. There's many different ways to perform that technique (depending on the context of the piece), but they involve placing all of the fingers down and rolling the bow across all three strings or pressing the middle string down far enough to play all three at the same time. Hope this helps!

@@hyrumkohler thanks so much!

But wait, there's more 😂 Thank you, Gustaf 😁

I play it much faster now 😅 This was my first day learning the piece haha

Great job!

It can be slow (although this is on the lower end of what's possible) but it needs more intent if it's this slow.

Sure is 🤓🎻

Thank you! I'm glad that other people are willing to learn pieces like this that are not established as standard repertoire 🙏🏻

Thank you! 😁

You can do it! A lot in a year comes from a little a day 😁

This is from Jacques Fereol Mazas' Élégie for viola and piano, Op. 73.

@@hyrumkohler Wow there are no recordings of this, that is so sad

That's why I'm learning it! 😁

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Cheers!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was both at some point, but the American Viola Society's edition of the piece listed Klumpkey

Thank you very much!
