Vitali Chaconne transcribed for Viola and Piano | Helena Baillie-Viola

[@dominantsept]

I can´t listen enough!!! So amazing!!!!!!!

[@OrlandoAponte]

Wow this is way better than I thought it would be, I had a bad feeling the violist was gonna suck but she's excellent and I love her sound. I wanted to play/transcribe this piece for viola a couple of years ago but didn't have the time to fit it into my repertoire. I may learn this in my spare time for fun.

[@violaisreallycool]

It’s a very tough piece and the sound quality is excellent in the beginning, I would be very surprised if she wasn’t very good. Hopefully you have been able to play this piece, it’s quite pretty. Not sure how it feels while playing but chaconnes are usually cool to play.

“I had a bad feeling the violist was gonna suck.” -every violinist ever who can’t hold an E without squealing.

[@OrlandoAponte]

@@yourfriend8052 I know I left this comment over 12 years ago, but I am a native viola player (never started on violin). One of the first things I learned about viola is that most viola players range from bad to unimpressive. Only a tiny handful are truly extraordinary, whereas there are tons of extraordinary violinists and cellists.

[@jumpingjflash]

I'm very fond of the viola, especially when the C string is utilised. I compared this version to Sarah Chang on the violin with continuum. I'm in two minds, it seems like they are two different compositions. The violin is more melodic, but the viola is more expressive. It depends on your mood, which version you prefer.

Brava Professor Helena, this was a precious rendition !

[@workforcewarrior]

Excellent... You are a great violist. Your sound and emotion is beautiful. 2 thumbs up!!!

This is a beautiful arrangement. It sounds a little more desperate in this key. It's great!

Dear god this is incredible! Your work as an artist is awe-inspiring!

lovely sound and intonation. Great playing!

Best violist ever 😩

[@joserobertoanaya]

OMG you are so good congrat !!!!!!!!!!

[@vaust]

What seamless bow control

[@AlexanderKnecht1]

just to clarify... at 4:35 she makes the artistic decision not to use vibrato at 4:35 so that's why you don't hear any. There's no apparent inconsistency with the video.

[@woody005aa]

bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lidaviolinist]

приятно слушать

[@leonormendoza3451]

Hello, beautiful work on the piece, I would love to play it too but I can't find the sheet music in C minor, is there any way you can share the sheet music or sell it? ❤

[@ethanyoo4813]

I honestly wish the camera would be more on the violist instead of the pianist

[@andrew01]

Beautiful. Also, interesting use of a cello bow.

[@violatione]

Lol it's not a cello bow.

[@Daouda-4]

Is it the "violin" finger position ? Beautiful !

[@yeshuali]

Yes, it's just transcribed a fifth down so the exact fingerings can be used on viola

¿La partitura de esta obra transcrita podrías pasarme? Saludos.

Hello Helena! My name is Yaroslav. I'm a student of musical collage from Ukraine. Hearing your performance, I wanted to play a Chaconne. Unfortunately in my country these notes are not there, and it's too expensive to buy abroad. So you could send me photos of these notes. I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance!

Yaroslav Kryvoguz did you find some sheet music for this? I found just in g minor.. I would like to play it in c minor

Hi. Hope you have found them on IMSLP

@ehstarx3 You could try imslp.org I'm sure I saw a version of it on there

woo hoo viola ! ( i play viola)

[@OrlandoAponte]

@chuckyprobe Calling me ignorant for not knowing a certain maker of an instrument is ignorant in and of itself. I have no knowledge of instrument makers because I have never cared to learn about and/or research luthiers. Calling me ignorant for not knowing a "Zygmuntowicz" would be like me calling you ignorant for not knowing the difference between an anion and a cation in the comment section of a chemistry video. It is impossible to be well-versed in every subject in the world, meaning that

[@Violamanben]

Ummmm, is she using a cello bow?

[@iorekbyrnison8278]

No I don't believe so, you can see by the frog because it's square, not rounded!

[@Violamanben]

Iorek Byrnison Thank you for the input. The only way to be completely sure is by weighing the bow. While viola and cello bows almost always have a rounded frog, it’s never a given. My Hill viola bow has a square frog, for example, but it’s weight at 72g defines it as a viola bow.

no she is not :)
