Absolutely wonderful! Many (violinists usually ahah) out there say that viola players don't have good intonation.... well you proved them wrong! Furthermore: it's quite difficult for some top violinists to play this with great intonation too, merely because the large intervals can be a hinderance as we all know. Such a wonderful viola you're playing on too - an '09 Zigmuntowicz! I'm a little jealous in that regard!
@@jervilopez1844 Well, yes, Paganini (as many of us know) was a big fan of the viola. Even "Harold In Italy" by Berlioz was/is a wonderful piece despite Nicolo himself refusing to premier it. It wasn't virtuosic enough. I believe that if it had both lovely cantabile passages as well as tricky virtuosic parts (featuring artificial harmonics, many chords, and pizzicato) then perhaps he would've liked it enough to play it. Some Pag caprices sound so good on the viola (I believe No. 24 is the most commonly played on both violin AND viola) but some other caprices sound truly luscious on the viola rather than violin.
Merci mille fois. Une altiste et un alto magiques, magnifiques. ❤

I actually like to listen Paganini's compositions on the viola. I don't really like them on the violin hahhaha
