This artful piece of work penetrated to my core, touching upon unspoken grief held in my bones . . . in the collective . . . it gave me chills. Loved the beautiful juxtaposition with the light streaming through from the forest. This is something that will rest in my heart and inform my journey to reclaim love.
You have inspired me to pursue viola! 7 years later... I am working with Dr Ames Asbell on viola performance in Texas State, San Marcos, TX. I would love to hear you play some hindemith! I love how deep you get. I have strived for that, and I believe I have it down! I love how you play and would do anything to learn from you- at least your methods. I love it.
Hey gang. Here's the difference: the viola is slightly larger, and has one string lower than the violin... and the violin has one string higher than the viola. To play it, the techniques are basically the same, but we read different music (violas read alto clef, violins read treble clef). Violas have the same string as a cello, but one octave higher. I love the resonance of the viola because I love how low it goes, it's much grittier to me. Cheers!
breathtaking music - it complements the visuals so very well! nb - I just bought your album - i can recommend it to everyone here listening this amazing artist -
It's okay, but Detroit ruin porn has been way overdone as an "artistic statement". It is *not* artistic at all. From our point of view, it has become an especially tedious, cynical, and indulgent trope when practiced by outsiders as a sort of dramatic backdrop to some vague dark statement about the city. Apparently Ms. Lien and the DP hadn't got that memo.
Hi Terra, just saw this message! I don't have sheet music available for my music... YET. I will in the future. Later this year I'm going to release a new album (12 new viola songs!), and after that is out I'll make sheet music for both that album and my last album. Stay tuned, and thanks for asking! Viola power!!
