Paganini Variations on Rossini's Moses Options

[Organistin]

This is another (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) piece and all on the G string. Excellent for practising smooth shifts and for getting to grips with the high positions on the G string.

Your G string should be tuned to B flat for the entire piece.


Disclaimer: I am merely mentioning a lovely violin piece which is fun to play and excellent for improving G string playing. I am not suggesting that people should include it on advanced certificate programmes, diploma programmes, concert programmes or anything else. I take no responsibility if people practise this instead of what they are meant to be doing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Yes ... .for fun.... because it is seriously fun and it sounds gorgeous too. It won't cost anything either because you can download it for free from Petrucci (but it doesn't say on that copy about tuning to B flat which my copy does).

oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh just gone to listen to it before I left out of the door to leave the house (am going to a friend....)
shouldn't have listened to it.....
I heard it before, a LONG TIME AGO and I forgotten all about this piece........

I LOVE IT TO DEATH

I never knew its title or who had written it or where it came from,

NOW YOU'VE DONE IT ORGANISTIN, I'VE GOT TO GET THE SHEET MUSIC FOR THIS!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif)

AND.......

I LOVE PLAYING ON THE G STRING!

in fact last year I've done with my teach Air on G adaptation by Wilhemji which is all on the G string and I loved it (by the way, got to get that out and 'refine it' as I never did play it too well).

so......

THIS IS NOW ON MY SHOPPING LIST (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)


ps to everyone: don't worry I don't want to learn this piece 'yet', it is FAR too advanced for me, I just HAVE TO HAVE IT in my music library for the 'one day I will play it projects'. I have many pieces like that in my music library (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm too tired to play on the G string (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Some interesting intonation on there.
I'm being picky though. Overall it was a lovely sound. I preferred Oistrakh but this is better for those learning the piece as you can see how he does all the shifts and positions his hand.

I really want to get this piece out of the cupboard NOW... but I have to go to Germany.

Oh I ABSOLUTELY AGREE Oistrakh is the TOPS, this is just to 'watch' what the fingers do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
