This is a section of Grieg's 2nd violin sonata in G-Major, which is a work that is beautiful in its very own unique way and unfortunately not as often played as its brother, Grieg's 3rd violin sonata in c-minor 🎶 Its joy, vulnerability, and storminess are what drew me to this sonata 🤗 ———————————————————————— Self-criticism-time 🤓: There is a lot of work ahead - I can definitely give more care and attention to notes that seem to be "less important" at first glance, I can go more into the swing of the dance with the arpeggios, work on my intonation, internalize the pulse more... and so on! 🤯 ———————————————————————— "So, what made you put this clip up then?", you might ask yourself? 😄 Well, I think I have started to grasp onto the right character and colors, which I wanted to document - that is always my most important mission. I can't wait to play this with the pianist partner for the first time and have my first lesson with this work next week 🎶😃 ———————————————————————— Heart-to-heart: As you might have realized, I have not posted a playing video in forrreverrr. Truth is - and I've decided it's important to open up about this - I have been feeling a bit insecure about my playing, specifically putting my fresh repertoire up on the socials 😕 ———————————————————————— But you know what?? I think reason for that is because I asked a lot of myself whenever I have recorded a clip (yes, I attempted by recording playing videos a handful of times but never published it) 🤔 And asking a lot of yourself is really not a bad thing - it makes you more self-critical (which by the way is the most important criticism), gives you a reality check, encourages you to be bold. It's a challenge! ———————————————————————— And you can look at challenges two ways: either with fright and defeat before even starting, or with eagerness and an adventurous attitude 🎶 And let's be real, a lot of you guys kept messaging me, asking for more playing videos, so that also gave me a huge push to stop being so worried 😅❤️ What's something you've been challenging? I'm curious, please share 🤗
