Poeme from Ernest Chausson

December 9, 2005 at 11:41 AM

Yesterday I played again Ernest Chausson with soloist. This weekend is the concert. The highpoint is when the soloist played the high note of the soloist in bar 96. Here is a part of the first page of the second violin:

Why?
I show the place in the 96th bar where the soloist plays that high note and I am playing the second violin in that orchestra and it is a fine piece.
Some teen-age girls here put foto's on their weblog with foto's of themselves lying in a car or from their dog in the snow or a foto of some trees. I don't care and I like those foto's, but there "why?" would be a better question, because there there is no connection between these foto's and the violin.
Bram, I think people post unrelevant photos here because this is violinist.com, not violin.com. Although the instrument may be the center of our lives, violinists experience things outside of the violin, too. And this is a great place to chronicle those things. :)
I love that high note too, it's even better if you're the one playing it.... it's an excellent preparation into that next section, it's so beautiful. Really hard to get right though because it's written very awkwardly
