Thx so much I need to perform this for an audition and having you play it helped so much

I’m happy to hear it helped you. Best wishes for your audition!

Thank you so much

No disrespect, but the playing is subpar tbh. Notes are crunched, you rush just slightly in 32-33, the bow is moving up the string rather than staying in one point near the middle of it. Sorry if I sound all angry and grumpy, I just wanted to give you an observation. Also for bow hold, bring that pinky forward!

What tempo was this at and what advice do you have to play Lion City?

[@miriamtroxler8769]

Eighth note = 80. Practice tempo. Keep bow strokes short, fingers close to the strings and subdivide.

Specifically this section, play in the middle of your bow. It also helps to play kind of lightly, even though I know this is an intense section. Play it over and over and over and commit it to muscle memory.
