[@beckynovotni2614]

I definitely agree with that statement. I often get sick of the violins having the melody. Cause I'm a cellist.

[@Alan-xe4st]

i played it in 4th grade

[@jinx6512]

This is legit one of my favorite pieces I've ever played for school. It's so refreshing as a cello to get a piece that's actually slightly challenging instead of just playing the same note for measures on end. This is such a nice piece to listen to.

[@lilbank7257]

Just like Pachelbel canon. It was so boring for cellos and bass

[@KrazyKyle-ij9vb]

The best high school orchestra piece of all time. Not only is it a difficult piece in ways that other pieces aren't, but the piece itself is an absolute banger the whole way through and gives every part at least some time in the spotlight. We tried playing this throughout my time in high school but couldn't put it together until my senior year, and while we've played some fun pieces, this one has stuck out to me more than any other piece we've played. Shoutout to mhchs

[@nickmorris2930]

who else had lazy peers who didnt practice so we couldnt play this banger?

[@talonmcpherson8445]

We had to postpone this piece for 2 concerts before we were barely ready.

[@nickmorris2930]

@@talonmcpherson8445 bro at least you got to play it. Our class just straight dropped it. I would practice it but its never the same as hearing it with everyone

[@aquila6005]

Our class voted for which piece to play after sightreading each of them. There were ten, and this piece won even though it was by far the hardest piece mostly because us lower strings (Violists, cellists, bassists) were tired of not getting good parts. We haven't gotten far with it yet (literally one rehearsal + sightreading) and still have three months to rehearse it, but so far it's not going that great lol. I'm doubtful that our viola section (self included) will be able to make it without some intense practice. Luckily most of us seem willing to put in the effort. The first violins seemed willing to practice, especially w/ winter break coming up, and the rest of the lower strings are pretty enthusiastic about finally getting a good piece. Of course, there are still the second violins... Hopefully they won't drag us down.

[@michellesantana6097]

I love this piece Richard Mayer is an amazing composer in fact my class has come up with a theory about this piece. We think that this sort of represents a walk through a graveyard specifically the gravestones of each of Bach’s Brandenburg‘s and then my teacher interpreted that every time the bass has a solo it’s a little transition to each of the grave stones so we thought that was kind of cool which does help us perform this piece better. Overall, amazing...just perfect.
