J.S. Bach Cello Suite No.1 in G Major - V. Menuetto I & II - Viola

Almost done with the first suite. Only had one pass on this before the construction crew started jackhammering downstairs...for the entire day. :P Such is downtown apartment living.
These are not perfect recordings, they are #covidrecordings. Stay healthy and safe, everyone. #songsofcomfort #mnorch #inthistogether

Thanks, Laura!

Such an amazing sound, im playing this for my solo piece and wanted to see how it should sound, I didn't expect to come across something so lovely. I will strive to make this sound.

[@MnOrchViolist]

Thank you! I concentrate on producing a good sound.

[@javfran12345]

The viola is really singing here~ I’m trying to be more musical in my playing, so your videos are a great inspiration! Thank you!

[@millieshurmer6861]

Hi there, where did you get the music for this? Are you just using cello music in bass clef or is there an edition in alto clef especially for viola? Thanks, and beautiful playing!

[@MnOrchViolist]

There are many viola sheet music transcriptions. The one I use is the International Edition, but there are many. There's even a free one on IMSLP.

[@millieshurmer6861]

⁠@@MnOrchViolist Thank you so much, I appreciate how quickly you replied (especially since the video was three years ago!).

[@MnOrchViolist]

😁 I've been meaning to continue recording, but for some reason...haven't.
