It's been a while since I've uploaded videos so close together! It's also been a while since I've posted an entire work of Classical Music! Hope you enjoy this clip from my rehearsal for my very first live show!!! =3

[@jadenwentz6773]

ThatViolaKid I play the cello and always say that, in my opinion, it is the best sounding string instrument. Every time I hear your playing it makes me want to drop the cello and learn the viola right away😅

[@jasminebrennan419]

This is such a fun piece! I love your expression as you play. I tend to look pretty scary when I try to show expression. Lovely video, TVK!

[@ThatViolaKid]

No shame in looking scary!!! Own itttt

[@Dr.Veggie]

I'm feeling inspired to start playing viola again. I feel bad that I've let mine go to waste for such a long time. It shall suffer no longer. Thanks my dude

[@ThatViolaKid]

I'm excited that you're picking it up again! Have fun homie!

[@kiaraeijo]

I’ve never heard this piece but you play with so much passion. Reminds me of my undergrad chamber music professor ( who’s pretty well-known in the viola world)... His name was Richard Fleischman 😃❤️🎼

[@mrswag535]

Dang, I wish I had those skills man.

[@ThatViolaKid]

It just takes some time! You'll get there!!!

[@ruthaddictedtopjsk]

Yeah! Finally a channel that doesn't hate on the viola! :D

[@lilyyates5039]

Ling Ling would not appreciate this comment

[@ruthaddictedtopjsk]

@@lilyyates5039 who is ling ling?

[@lilyyates5039]

@@ruthaddictedtopjsk look up twosetviolin you wont be disapointed 😜

[@10acious_D]

I saw Sherry Kim in the title, and I remembered that I used to watch her KZbin videos a long time ago, back when her channel was called fantasiex3. It's good to see her on KZbin again!

[@ThatViolaKid]

She's definitely coming back!!!!

[@ingridayarza]

I like this type of videos, because when you get older you'll be able to look back at them and enjoy and see the progress you've made, from the music to the changes on your looks Haha. Btw, she's a bawse turning those pages! And you sound great Drew💪

[@ThatViolaKid]

Sherry is the GOAT!!!

[@tanihehe]

HOW IS SHE TURNING DOSE PAGES THOOO? I WOULD BE A WRECK!!!!! u guys are TRULY amazing!!

[@carmengonzalez-sd7cu]

This channel motivates me to keep playing the viola

[@jeremybrown9824]

young, gifted, and black...and freakin beautiful. Props bro!

[@clever_violin]

That shift at 4:41 ❤️❤️❤️👌🏻 soooooooo nice. Love the expressiveness

[@ThatViolaKid]

Bruhhh, it wasn't even supposed to exist though hahahaha. I didn't quite make the jump and had to compensate in a split second heheh...

[@Dingudongo]

Ugh viola sonatas are the bestttt. this was beautiful!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Dooooood this is incredible! Your sound is soooo smooth and that left hand vibrato control is BAE. Definitely listening to this for the rest of the day while I Excel spreadsheet my life away. More of this kind of content PLS

[@ThatViolaKid]

I appreciate you bro!!! And you've got it! More to come!!!

[@beanofdestruction1982]

Waiting for the day you make your CD!

[@beanofdestruction1982]

Beautiful phrasing and expression! I hope I can play like you someday

[@-Honeybee]

Man, this was nice. I am actually just beginning the hunt for my lifetime viola, and this would be a great first project to learn on whoever she may be. 💚

[@ingridayarza]

Tyler Rodriguez You mean your lifetime instrument? Drew has said Patrick will never be sold lol

[@ThatViolaKid]

Neither will Triple E!!!

[@-Honeybee]

Ingrid Ayarza certainly she'll be a lifetime instrument, I meant only that she's the endgame. ❤

[@connorboone8682]

I’ve just started playing this song and it’s really good. Sherry makes it 1000% with her piano playing!!!!!!

[@ThatViolaKid]

Sherry is incredibleeeee

[@robertcocovinis2]

I agree. She's so on top of her game. I love the way you both wring out the bejeezus of this piece, and I especially enjoyed around 7.22 when you teeter over the edge! That's why your interpretation is so exciting.

[@Greg07623]

That’s a lovely sounding instrument. Full bodied, bright and even sound across all registers. And you play it like a real partner.

[@Ouistiti_de_l_Espace]

Wow! It was really beautiful, you told a story through this piece. I traveled for eight minutes, thank you !

[@ThatViolaKid]

Awwww I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@t2blessone559]

Alto Clef Rules Thanks for posting very encouraging Wonderful to 👂🏾 hear 🎻

[@ThatViolaKid]

Awww thank YOU for watching! So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@ulli5134]

I love how passionate you are while playing it is such a gift

[@allthethings09]

This is beautiful! Love your tone!

[@DarrylJohnsonII]

Captivating and SO musical! Great job, man!

[@ThatViolaKid]

Thanks homie!!!

[@brunotheodoro1219]

Superb. Words can't define so much wonderful music and it's like a poem spoken by the soul.

[@ThatViolaKid]

That means so much to me!!! Thank you so much!

[@MakeMusic88]

Wow what a wounderful performance ! :) Thumps up !

[@rubaabdul7931]

Bravo both of you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎹🎻

[@richardtikiun1814]

Your viola sounds so rich in tone I wish I had something like that I have something I think is cheap, it sounds super metallic and that’s not something I like too much but hey, it’s better than nothing 🤷‍♂️

[@ThatViolaKid]

You can always upgrade! It's really expensive, but definitely worth the investment ;)

[@katherinemcarrick8190]

Ahhh.. My heart is with you as I prepare for work.. my "real" job. I miss chamber music and sometimes even orchestra! But not being a professional musician, that sucked pretty bad.

[@atkinsonja]

Lovely.

[@robertcocovinis2]

Great piece, I've not heard it before. Will you record the rest of it? Fabulous performances from you both, and I too like this style of video. Great to see you again! Love from London.

[@ThatViolaKid]

Thanks, Robert! I'll get around to it eventually! I also want to professionally record it as well, so it'll sound MUCHHHH better :)

[@robertcocovinis2]

ThatViolaKid Hiya Drew. I'm learning violin and what I get from you is inspiration to relax and throw myself

[@robertcocovinis2]

Oops, throw myself into the playing. Relaxation is so important, you're a great example.

[@user-tb9bi7hx9b]

Listening to this recording TOTALLY made me forget about my bad performance I had earlier today :P :)

[@eliaswendel7257]

Cool!

[@daysiflores2425]

YOU ARE AWSOMEEEE

[@StarriSprinkles]

FRICK. THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE GOD DANG VIOLA. o3o❤

[@ThatViolaKid]

Me too! This piece is ridiculous

[@richardtikiun1814]

Rip 7:22 but I get into it so much that happens to me too lol

[@ThatViolaKid]

Hahahahaha yeahhhh! I thought it was funny that I just went righttttt over the edge there lol

[@kristin5376]

That was very nicely done! Quick question, what should I do to prevent myself from getting unset all the time when I practice? I just sound bad all the time and it drives me crazy especially when I try different ways to fix it and nothing works. Again, very well played!

[@minah9617]

❤

[@avishipandya2030]

Violists! I’m rallying to stop viola hate! Please reply to this comment saying something positive about viola if you support! I am going to put them into a video to stop viola hate!

[@violindudes.2822]

I kinda wanna major in viola right now

[@torterrakart7249]

Awesome! What's your favorite recording of this piece?

[@ThatViolaKid]

I don't really have a favorite haha. I'm trying to make my favorite recording one day haha

[@torterrakart7249]

ThatViolaKid That's fair! Hahahaha Another question, did you edited (even if slightly) the sound of the recording or that's exactly the audio capted by your micro? Because it's too good for a micro of this price!

[@kathy7352]

Beautiful. Would you mind playing a little bit of Air on G string?...well actually a lot of that piece?

[@carlosbrannan703]

Found one of these in a shop a few weeks ago. Can't wait to set aside time to learn how to play. Are there any good online lessons? Sounds good btw

[@ThatViolaKid]

I'm not sure of any good online resources! I am trying to make one over time. So, feel free to stick around and subscribe =)

[@t2blessone559]

Wow I understand with the act of living your busy life, you manage many things I appreciate you, I have just started studying the viola. Please consider starting an on line learning component. I would be there. I only ask that you don't forget the beginners It's in you to do. I praying for you

[@ThatViolaKid]

I'll give it some thought! I'm still trying to find out how I can make a sustainable income, so I'll do my very best to construct it!

[@donnie9886]

Wooow amazing! What size is your viola?!

[@ThatViolaKid]

Thank you!!! It's a 16.5 inch viola!

[@thechangster7928]

Yall already kno what im doing for my senior recital

[@jacobhaddad851]

Dearest TVK I was wondering if Grades matter to get into Juilliard specifically high school grades? Thank you and have a wonderful day

[@jeremybrown9824]

What kind of strings do you use?

[@bt_the_yank6234]

Next song title "play homie play"

[@_winston_2503]

only thing that bothers me is your intonation :(

[@ThatViolaKid]

LOL me too, Winston, me too
