[@ollieroberts5472]

the violist is not messing around with her bow. it's always crisp and short. oh my god. how does she do it?

[@musicstuff698]

ollie roberts practice staccato

[@musicstuff698]

ollie roberts it helps you get that distinct sound at the beginning of the note

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

ollie bee I’m not a violist, but practice staccato. It will help you. I’ve had to practice it on the violin too to not move my bow around everywhere when it’s not necessary. Sure, often your teacher will tell you to use more bow on a song, but there are times when you have to use less bow too on some songs.

[@lol65860]

You need to have that energy of keeping the notes very short and crisp

[@nicolechalabi9870]

she was great but i feel like she rushed a lot

[@zoeanthos2237]

the violist is amazing. her crisp bows. wow.

[@musicstuff698]

Zoe Anthos her bowing seemed really awkward. She was using way too much bow for those 16th notes

[@jordanmunday8088]

zoeoeoeoe

[@CarisMcBean]

THEY WERE AMAZING! They're bows and sound were so together and professional.

[@kayleigh5439]

I feel like it would’ve been better with a bass. I know that kills the point of a quartet, but it was missing a layer of depth

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

kayleigh but the basses are very underrated sometimes. They barely get interesting parts to play. For example, they play the same notes on that same string over and over again. I’ve taken Orchestra and there are basses in my class, and I’ve seen it happen.

[@Crisnixon1]

@@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256 bass is my fav nobody pays attention to the bass tho it still makes everything sound better

[@ANXI8TY]

This was originally a piece for orchestra so there are bass parts I think

[@Jtenas_16]

Yeah it fr was. Quartets are amazing but the bass rly adds weight to any piece.

[@_Maezi_]

The cellist was also playing the top notes only so at some chords it didn’t feel like it had a bass line at all

[@trentwells3553]

I recorded this! You can see my finger at 0:43.

[@sharanewang]

that camera had bad fps, because during the first violin's tremolo, you don't see her bow moving

[@sharanewang]

oh, never mind, that's just the 2 violin's really shaky and high note

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

Sharane Wang yeah. It’s called vibrato. The one technique that I really love and wished my teacher would’ve taught us sooner.

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

Malik Hannah same

[@somedude3819]

Morro is my favorite in my opinion it’s a necessary technique that everyone must use and learn

[@samanthamisenhimer7773]

HOW DID THE GUY AT END ONLY SAY WOW COOL GIRRLLL THIS WAS AMAZING

[@mckaylahayes4310]

FRR😂😂

[@savannahhart1868]

I am going to meet soon hee newbold tomorrow and good job

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

Hermione Granger lucky! We’ve played a bunch of her songs but never got to meet her.

[@neoz.9886]

5:38 is probably the hardest part for second violins, I used to always screw up there

[@Zyrel_7210]

REAL AND IM JUST LEARNING HOW TO PLAY THIS AS A FRESHMAN 😭😭

[@helixdr2623]

"wow cool"

[@lesleyb526]

The vibrato sounds sooo good!!! Everything sounded really good! I especially love how much bow you all use!

[@traceymuy1942]

O0O This is like music to my ears I'm crying!! Goals Man GOALS!! Great Job! Want to play this with my orchestra some day :')

[@ItbeRey]

I remember seeing one of the varsity orchestras for our middle school pre Uil play this. It’s a fairly good piece

[@connorswain1181]

I love this song and you guys nailed it!

[@NeliaLove-99]

Really, they did that good and all they got was some claps, wow, and cool.

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

Cornelia Haugabook ikr. It should have been “that was the best thing I’ve ever heard” along with some claps and shoutouts. I watched the whole thing how each of them played and they all stayed together without speeding up or slowing down. Their vibratos were great and so is their pitch and intonation.

[@israelibinayin7727]

Omg a good viola

[@xxjackxx1150]

Amazing bow control! Straight, clean, and very crisp. Your notes are also extremely well with clear vibrato!

[@Adrian-fo3sc]

You should play the emerald falcon by richard meyer

[@zollychan]

Adrian Da Masta yes. And this is coming from someone who just learned 'Serenade for Strings'

[@Adrian-fo3sc]

Emerald Spectre. Hehe. I just learned el gaucho. We dont really play fast songs but i mean its fun. Ill look up your song

[@musicstuff698]

Adrian's Channel a quartet can’t play the emerald falcon. It has solo parts, lots of divisi and it has a bass solo

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

If y’all want a really fast song that used absolutely NO bow, try Pizzicato Blues or Pizzicato Magic. But remember, it’s a song mainly about pizziing, so you will find yourself speeding up. We had to practice forever to finally be together. It was really hard cuz we actually spent forever on that song to try and perfect it. Songs with pizzing are hard due to us wanting to speed up.

[@yuripark456]

i think the first violinist was pretty good (except her tremolo) and the cellist was really good with being in tune. its pretty hard to be a good cellist. The second violin and viola were also good, but could use a bit more work in playing together as a group and intonation.

[@starblossum541]

Have you played the viola part on this song???

[@14yearoldclassicrockexpert95]

Im excited, our varsity orch is gonna do this song

[@tobiasziemer7779]

this is wonderful!

[@mr.hooray4859]

The ‘wow cool’ at the end 😂😂

[@benjibean8431]

I didn't think that this was gonna be that cool, seeming it sounds awesome with a full orchestra. But this sounded great! Good work.

[@jaminjordan3801]

Is it obvious that the cellist put together this quartet?

[@E.E.Larson]

Jamin Jordan lmao thanks for the shout out B-) (I’m the cellist)

[@MonkeButler]

Did you know this piece was written for my school (Grandville Highschool)

[@popanga0994]

Wow!! Great job!

[@thisismerica5721]

i tried to learn this as a quartet, playing first violin. i sight read pretty good. until that run. that fucking run. anyone thats played this knows what im talking about. granted, this was a few years ago in 8th grade so i could probably do it now. but in this recording th first violin has so much control over everything. especially her bowing.

[@firevulkannn3584]

OOF did u miss the tremelo on the a on the g string

[@bobabola6078]

"Wow, cool"

[@dragonflarehg9276]

same 1st violin from lioncity

Aj Hancock actually same everyone. (I'm the cellist)!

[@ChristianPaulson-Music]

We'll be doing Lion City for our next concert to get us ready for Perseus. Our orchestra is pretty stoked.

[@makaylahatesyou6703]

Lizzy Larson Y’all are freaking talented how long have you been playing!!

[@narutoninjagoandtheflashar4256]

Chris Paulson late reply but, we also played Lion City at our concert 2 years ago. I really like that song, but I was a 3rd violin though because I was a beginner.

[@mangoccoi1103]

i’m playing viola this for my 7th grade quartet.

[@t1geres544]

Viola gang! How long have you been playing, things doesn’t seem like 2nd year playing material, also we are both ninth graders.

[@eliza3144]

I’m in 8th grade doing this (in terms of schooling), this is a grade 5 piece (by what my teacher told us) and we’re gonna play this thing in 7 months for HOPEFULLY nationals. He’s going to give us the piece in a month or so, so I have 6 months to learn it. It’s really cool but also really scary lol

[@t1geres544]

@@eliza3144 it’s grade 5? I thought it was grade 4. It is much easier than the other grade 5 piece I played.

[@mangoccoi1103]

@/all Hahaha it has been so long since i posted this hahaha. Basically, we never performed this bc the violin and cello parts were very difficult so then i played this with the hs chamber orchestra, joining them... it was soooo fun!!! totally love this piece

Great job but for the cellist make sure to keep your left elbow up but other than that it was perfect
