Mazas Viola Etude No. 26, Op. 36 (ed. Mogill) "Polonaise" for DSO/TMEA 2024
Dallas Symphony violist, Tom Demer demonstrates Mazas Viola Etude No. 26, op. 36 (edited for viola by Mogill) for Dallas Symphony TMEA tutorials 2024.
I procrastinated about recording this two-page etude for weeks because I couldn't play straight through it before my left hand invariably became numb. Finally, the Viola Neck-less self-supporting strap came to the rescue! My distracting neurological symptoms were lessened with my head and neck relieved of responsibility for supporting my 17" viola.
On the other hand, I found that my CROS hearing aid devices interfered with my new Audigo Bluetooth mic. So, I put the hearing aids back on the charger and proceeded, although I could not hear on the left side of my head for this recording session.
Aging presents new challenges constantly, but I hope Texas high school violists will find this video instructive.

“In the Garden” - C. Austin Miles - New Vintage Bohemian Fiddle

While visiting Tucson in July of 2024, Melanie and I walked nearly every morning in Rio Vista park. That brought to mind "In the Garden" by C. Austin Miles, which I recorded on our last morning in Arizona on my just purchased century-old Bohemian fiddle that I had bought from Marc Renard a day earlier. I retired my fiddle-with-orchestra show when my left ear quit, but I'm pleasantly surprised t...

When my son was in school I learned DIY record production to aid the kids in recording CDs by their garage band. The steepest learning curve was in getting bed room-recorded drums to sound like the radio. But all the parents of the band members were professional string players. We were all over dubbing a string section onto my son's songs.

    Thank you very much for making this video! I play keyboards and fiddle in our band. Many times I need to play keyboard (i also play the bass parts on the kb as we don't have a bass player) except when I solo. But it's always been too awkward and takes too much time to hang the fiddle or put it down and pick it back up. Haven't tried this yet but am confident it will be the solution I've been looking to find. Thanks again!

    I suppose this kind of thing is actually more so fair game than most would think. After all, we get away with putting special rests on the instrument so much that to do so has become standard in their sale. The instrument wasn't invented to have those pieces clamped onto them. We do it anyways regardless of the affect is has on the sound and people are never shunned for it.
