just came back from hell- I MEAN MY ORCHESTRA CONCERT

Anyways just as I thought the violins ruined everything

As a viola, here was my experience (and every single other viola experienced this)

Also this is literally just a rant

Firstly. I just need get out that the FUCKING VIOLAS ARE ALWAYS FORGOTTEN IM SOBBING

They literally forgot about us. And I'm not even lying THEY FORGOT TO TUNE US AND THE VIOLAS ENDED UP COMING LATE BECAUSE WE WERE TUNED LAST MINUTE

oh, and speaking of tuning. We can't tune ourselves because guess who is so bad that we aren't trusted to tune ourselves?

Thats right! THE FUCKING VIOLINS.

Not only that, but you want to know what happened while we were waiting to be tuned?

The violins were still trying to learn the pieces.

And I don't mean they were just practicing to try and get better.. no no, thr violins are shitty. Why would you expect that from them?

The Orchestra teacher was making sure they actually could play the songs (they couldn't. They were so bad.)

Also, in one of the songs we were meant to have the lights off for extra effect. To make it more fun or whatever, yknow?

Well guess who was so bad and couldn't memorize the song that ruined it for everyone and prevented the whole Orchestra from playing in the dark?

The violins.

To make it worse, that song was the EASIEST ONE. For that song you could fucking learn till like.. measure 9 and you'd have almost the whole song done. (It was a very repetitive song)

I swear to God the violins in my orchestra are so shitty

And also, if I'm gonna be real. The violas are the best ones there. We played best I won't lie, but guess what? We never get anything special. Never any special melodies, difficult parts, or anything special whatsoever.

Its putting good skill to waste.

Moral of story, the violins are shitty, the violas are forgotten, and the violas should have the violins part because we could play it better.

ORCHESTRA GOT SILVER!!! ❤️

I think very frequently about my drab dead inside look I rocked all of high school, and it's pairing low expressiveness. Ignoring neurodivergent reasons to keep a still and stern face...

Be me, plays viola for seven years and is in the high school orchestra

Become first chair through being the longest playing violist

Loves it, plays passionately and attends every performance

Wins a few awards participating in a quartet on the side

Lose several violist to graduations

New violist is tone deaf and non self aware

New violist is annoying af, but she got the spirit

We do our performance tests to reset the chairs for the semester

I am given second chair, and the LITERAL tone deaf person is given first chair

Other first chairs complain because the tone deaf person is also rhythm deaf and the violas start off to many songs, so now we're always starting off beat

New first chair goes into every solo late and is always out of tune

I ask the teacher what I was lacking to be demoted

The teacher informs me I play perfectly, but didn't have a passionate enough expression or movement, and the new viola looked to be loving every minute

Be me, daily nightmare disorder since age five, actively homeless with abusive mother, dirt poor, chronic pain, severely underweight, just lost my favorite family member (my fourth close family to die in under three years), and neurodivergent

Experiences skill regression from this very moment

Never plays instruments again

[auzeraius]

"The Romantic era (1820-1900) was the golden age of the virtuoso, where the most difficult music would be performed with nonchalant ease. Instrumentation became even more prominent, with orchestras growing to higher numbers than ever before."

Johann Joachim Quantz: Concerto in G minor for Flute, Strings & B.c QV 5...

[ratsarecute4]

Anyone want an arrangement of the Lighting of the Beacons by Howard Shore? I arranged it for string orchestra (violin 1 & 2, viola, cello, bass) and this includes the full score plus the seperate parts. I just decided I wanted to have the sheet music to play the violin part, but I no longer have a quartet or orchestra to play it with :( so you guys can have it for free. I also have arrangements for many other lotr songs for the violin, if anyone wants any.

I've made some original music for the first time in a while!

[bisexualbitch4853]

I was the only first violin at the extra orchestra practice and there was 7 second violins and 3 third violins and 4 cellos 😭💀

Another first violin joined but he just healed from a broken arm so he didn’t know what to do, so he just stood there listening 😔👍🏻
