OMG I HADNT REALIZED UNTIL I HEARD IT THAT THE SECOND HALF WAS ODE TO JOY!! I learned it in 7th grade!!

[@davidbteague]

Bravo! This is now in my library of things I must listen to repeatedly to internalize and to play better.

[@usmclss0481]

Wow! A trip down memory lane. I remember working on this in my lessons with you. So happy to see you on KZbin so I can share with my family.

[@pinosevera]

That is one the best sounding basses I have ever heard, that tone is my reference

[@dylanblackstar9771]

Hi, this video is worth more than gold for me. I am learning this one right now

[@owoled282]

Beautiful sound

[@rapperslashactor]

I just picked up the violin for the first time in 13 years, and this is the tune I most want to get good enough to play.

[@GavinHobbs-gx2no]

Lovely

[@sergeicherkes]

Thank you very much for posting this. In easy way you explain how to play such beautiful and not so simple as it seems music. The most important thing for me as a student is to be explained by the teacher about the feeling I need to play the piece well. You've reached that purpose exellent. One more thank you. Great Job. Its a pity an ocean divides us. I'd like to have some lessons with or masterclass.

Thanks

[@MiGsYoLo26]

what kind of bow are you using?

[@barrylieberman5854]

As stated above, the bow is made by Reid Hudson of Victoria BC, Canada. I have several of his bows which i consider the best German bows made today.

[@MiGsYoLo26]

Barry Lieberman thank you for responding uhm.. i have a favor and it might be hard but i'm a 14 year old bassist in Kentucky,Louisville and i have been a big fan of Beethoven's stuff and i've always like his moonlight sonata and i have always wanted it to play in my bass but i can't do a arrangement for it because i'm really not that good so im asking if u can arrange a piece for me for the bass for moonlight sonata but if u don't want to it's ok, thank you.

[@Funmodescondidas]

Where can i have this score?

[@barrylieberman5854]

You can get this music from Lemur Music in California. It is is the complete orchestra parts for all of the Beethoven Symphonies by Oscar Zimmermann and it is also at the end of the Simandl method book.
