Hi there. This is my first discussion here but it’s a game. If you know the rules of word chain then great, but I’ll explain for the others. If I said “hello” then you would have to say something beginning with O
Rules. No swears No made up words Only one word Have fun
I decided to revisit one of my older string quartet arrangements. As you can probably guess, it is the K 545 sonata. This time, I had a harmonic analysis to help me stay more true to the original harmony. I decided, for now at least, to have the sixteenths in the second movement be played by the second violin. The countermelody method that I went right for in my first draft is tricky, especially to keep consonant with both the melody and the harmony. So, as I try to figure out a good countermelody, I have the sixteenth notes in the second violin in this draft. Hopefully, I will figure out a good countermelody so that I can put the sixteenth notes into the viola, and not have to do octave alterations as you can see I did in certain places in the second movement. Until then though, the sixteenths will be in the second violin, with the viola harmonizing the bass line.
Here is the second draft of my string quartet arrangement of K545:
Hello! I'm searching for someone to make transcriptions of some rock pieces for solo Viola. I will be really happy with something like Roman Kim's version of ,,Highway Star".
YAY! Write a solo for violas! Winner becomes an admin! Sounds simple enough! Put link to the score in this discussion. I will Judge them. I will pick one to two winners
Hi, I'm new here and am looking forward to meeting y'all. I play viola (As you might have guessed) and have been playing since I was 10. I am a mediocre player, I think. But anyways, I am looking forward to meet y'all.

Hey all! This one is mainly a question for high brass but if any other could help me that would be great. I'm in 11th grade and I am a 3rd year trumpet. Right now, we are focusing on marching songs, but after Football season, we mainly play concert songs. One of those is a pretty well known trumpet piece called "A Trumpeter's Lullaby". I normally am a second chair but my band director "surprised me" and gave me solo. I've played it before but never solo. Since I am doing the solo, should I use vibrato at the appropriate times? If so, what method should I use? I obviously wouldn't use the wind speed method. So I would either use my hand or move my jaw slightly. Which one should I use? Let me know! Thanks! TheBlueTrumpeteer
https://musescore.com/user/6595486/scores/5772600 I just finished another piece for guitar solo, and found this instruments able to play rather complex structure when its strings are arranged manually. I cannot play this instrument, what I did is just to keep the position of the left hand in a small range. Is this right? Also, I still have some questions about the string arrangement on a very fast part. For example, in bars 152-170 in this piece, is using different strings alternately helpful/necessary to maintain the speed?
