VLA Vla vla
I listen to this classical radio station in the morning. It seems the ALWAYS play baroque music in the morning. What is the deal with that? More blue-haired money bags open their conservative ears and wallets?
Brandenburg 3 was on the station this morning. That piece is soooo much fun to play. So we all know the saying, violists are slow. Or at least we get the rap for being a little mentally slow. Tell me this, why would Bach create such a piece in canon style, at a fast tempo, an eighth not apart for VIOLA? Doesn't he know that a piece like that is a train wreck waiting to happen? ;)
Here's a new viola joke... how do you get two violists to the same notes at the same time, together? Give them Brandenburg six. HAHAHAHAHAHA
I kill myself sometimes!!!!

Bach wrote hard ass shit for other instruments because of his exceptional skill as a keyboard player... he just wrote what his fingers could do... for other people.. Most people know that about Bach.. what most people DON"T know about bach is that he was an exceptional string player as well.. he played both Violin and Viola.. in fact, his son, (upon the elder bach's death...) wrote that JS preferred playing viola when he was conducting and leading ensembles...
Think of all those violin partitas... would he have written shit like that if he coudln't have played it?

Heh, heh, heh, Bach, powerful musician was he....powerful musician.
Much anger in him, like his father.
Nice post.
Ciao
