a forgotten concerto

Hey !Did you realize i'm changing my playlist track ?Apparently ,i'm fall in love with this vieuxtemps concerto !It's a great concerto ,doesn't it ?And this girl ,Valerie Kim is great .Her music was fantastic .And she's still 14 ,wow ..I envy her ,i hope someday i will be good enough to play this piece !practice even harder then :)

I don't know much about this composer ,i was thinking to browse the wiki before i write this post ,but i'm too lazy to do it .Well ,it's okay to browse it right now :

Henri François Joseph Vieuxtemps

Let's see ,he was a Belgian composer and violinist .He was born in Verviers ,Belgium .And wow ,he is known as the second greatest violinist during his time for Paganini reigned .He became friendly with a number of musicians who had been familiar with Beethoven which led to his reviving the "Violin Concerto" already almost forgotten .Hmm ?Is it really forgotten ?If it was me ,i won't forget such concerto ,thanks for composing it Vieuxtemps :)

Rest in Peace ~

previously on me

A lot of things happened suddenly .And it's really tiring lol !

It's been a month with no rest at all ,i've got practice every night with Gading Indah Ensemble ,and school activities on day .After finishing the performance on GKI Samanhudi ,my teacher gave me a Hadyn Concerto for practice .He told me to practice for it ,it happens to be an accompaniment piece for his friend final exam .

The ensemble is really good ,they're high-skilled and experienced with their instruments .Honestly ,i'm not confident being there .Even the 2nd violin better than me ,knowing the situation quite well ,my teacher put me on the front line ,and place me on 1st violin .Yes ,he's insane :(

At first ,i don't really like the situation ,but lately the practice session was amazing ,it's fun .They're not too scary ,and it's pretty fun !Finally the exam came closer and closer .2 days before the performance ,my condition drop .I've got a mild fever ,and the fever still continued up until now .

In result ,i can't concentrate on the piece ,and i've made about 2-3 mistakes on the performance .Luckily ,the jury didn't realized it .And things that surprised me to the most ,my teacher praised me for my performance (?) .Oh Jesus ,is it your miracle ?But i do not care about it ,thanks god :)

My upcoming audition is closer ,and i haven't practice the selection piece yet .Honestly ,i believe that i'll appreciate rest afterward .

here's some snapshot :)

a few snapshot from the previous event on GKI Gading Indah :D

God Bless You Always :D

i don't care that exam ,haha !

Soon i'll step up and preparing myself to enter a college .But ,there's still an exam to face on this month .It's really frustrating !Actually ,it's not even hard and i'm not studying either .But sometimes it cause a lot of burden in me ,haha .Sometimes ,it even makes me easily get a sudden bad mood .And i can't concentrate on  music too .

Okay ,let's change the topic .My tutor really push me on my limit .I've gotten better at handling it .And i also realize that i've gradually improve my skill ,hahaha !I've started the Carl Flesch's Etude last monday .It's harder than i expected ,and that's why i got scold frequently haha .I'm still preparing for my upcoming audition on 27th of June .I choose Vivaldi's Spring for it .It still on progress though .

Aah ,i hope this exam will end sooner .That way ,i can do a lot of things better than study ,haha .Well ,see ya reader !Gbua :)

violin means everything

Oh God ,exam is nearing .It's hurt so much just to think about it .I have to practice for my upcoming audition too ,and i need to prepare myself for the performance in April *Gasp* ,moreover i haven't finished my school assignment too ,Oh God ,what should i do ?!School nearly killed me .I want to make a performance that i won't regret ,but can i ?With tons of work to do .The violin really help me in time like this .Thanks for it God .

Yay !The Nodame Cantabile-Finale has been released in animecrazy.net !It's really good ,as for me it's the best from all season ,i hope that it is endless !It's a movie that will take you to the joy of music !And the piece selection is great .I've watched from the 1st episode to the 8th .I want to watch the rest but i can't do it without my speaker .I can't hardly wait ,real curious to see the rest !

nodame cantabile - finale

After watching for quite a long time ,i thought that if music can gives me so much pleasure and passion ,i think it won't hurt to practice it whole day .But the fact ,it's hard ,not hurt !Yes ,it's really hard to practice ,when we devoting each time of each day we've got ,exerting efforts ,yet there're still someone better than us ,I think it's what we called resentment .Resentment in other means ,like jealousy to the superior .It suits my condition ,i envy those who learn the violin sooner than me ,but that sure wasting time ,it's better to do my practice .Yes i know it i'll try hard for my upcoming week and month ,wish me luck guys !
The ensemble i told before ,it's good and i have fun there .The society is friendly and they're good ,i like being there .I will practice harder,so i won't regret the performance on April .There's someone who made me down ,but i've regain my composure .Blogging sure is relieve my stress .Thanks for hear me out :)

Sibelius - Violin Concerto in D minor Op.47

Sibelius originally dedicated the concerto to the violinist Willy Burmester ,but because of financial reasons, Sibelius decided to premiere it in Helsinki ,but Burmester was unavailable to go to Finland .So Novacek take it over him .The concerto premiered on 8 February 1904 ,with Sibelius conducting ,but Novacek played poorly and the premiere performance was a disaster .

I really love this piece !It's so great and enthralling .I love all of the movement ,i even can't decide on my favorite .The Introduction is the greatest ,and the crescendo make it sound a bit mystical .Most people thought that the melody is sort of depressing ,as for me it's more like a kind of passion that won't be known by other .The entire movement is really great .Shame on Novacek to messed up this piece !

I hope someday i'll be able to play this piece .Yes ,i know it's an extremely difficult piece ,moreover it requires a considerably high level of technical ability on the part of the soloist .I usually prefer easier piece than such virtuosic piece like this one ,but it's the best piece i've ever heard .I'll be practice the violin even more ,hope that someday i can do this piece with an orchestra !May God bless me ,and you !

i miss blogging

Hi readers !

It's been so long ,since i wrote my previous post ,haha (wow for 1 month guys !).I don't have enough time lately .But things never change (tough some have change) .I've got so many troubles lately .The worst thing is i've lost my mobile phone .But i don't feel sad anymore ,beside i realize it now ,i never use my phone for 'communicate' ,well never is too much ,i mean 'rarely' .I just have it ,and sometimes i use it to call my dad/brother to pick me up after school .But the most is i used it for "my musical needs" .

Since i lost my phone ,i don't have any gadget to hear some music ,so i do my practice .But ,my practice is feel happier since i lost my phone .I don't know why but i enjoy it a lot .And i feel that i can produce a more beautiful tone than before .And i love to do my exercise in etude .It's really strange ,but i like this 'strangeness' .Well of course i still have some stories .

My teacher has resign .So i got a new teacher .It's not that i don't like my new teacher ,but his taste won't suit me .I like country ,but i can't do it .I prefer classical than country .But i like both of it .And my new tutor teach me country (i've done 2 lesson with him up until now) .So i plan to quit my lesson this April and take private lesson with my previous tutor .

There's some more ,i'll join the Galilee Ensemble as my teacher suggestion .The conductor is the same one as the orchestra i want to join this September .I'll do my best to pursue their skills !Please wish me luck .Ah ,almost forgot .I've done the "Ret-Ret" .It's not the best ,but i think i got some motivation after it .Thank you !!Well i also thank YOU READER ,haha .One more ,i'm in need of job ,so please let me know if there's any event for violin ,as a performance ,ensemble ,chamber ,etc .Thanks before :)

am i sure enough ?

Finally ,i've got my violin lesson .Though i'm not fully prepared for it (yeah ,i do clean up stuff for the Chinese New Year) .I fell a bit unsure .Thing goes wrong in every way !I'm not talking bad .But that's what i feel .Have i mention on my older post (about the shooting) ?Yup ,they're planning to re-shoot all the scenes !INSANE !I don't have time for that !But i must do it . *YUCKS*

I barely have no free time .I used it for the school assignment ,practice ,and studying .Please ,i don't want to .In my last lesson ,he ask me "What would you do after graduation ?" (his way of asking is showing some hesitation).And i replied ,i told him that i want to continue on music .It makes me think ,am i really sure about it .But i want to !I'm tired of doing things that i don't want to .I hate school !

Later he asked me ,how about join his orchestra .He tell me about it ,and i'm quite interested .But ,the entrance exam is Vivaldi-Spring (it's the easiest) .Let me think 'bout it .And i've made my decision .I will do the audition .Surely ,and the same for Twilite Youth .Well i decided to throw away my school kids activity for awhile .Just until September .I want to focus on the violin .And i don't want to talking big .So i must practice all day !please wish me luck .

Go away school !

YOU'RE NUISANCE !

N.B : happy valentine and chinese new year to all my reader !Best wishes !

violin info

Dear readers ,

Today ,i have something to tell you ,the truth is it's not a bad news nor good :)

Starting today i stopped giving piano lesson .Don't worry ,i've already got my replacement ,and she's a great one ,i'm sure it'll be better for her to teach them (than me) .In exchange ,i will give violin lesson .But ,actually i don't have any pupil yet ,but i've got some who interested in .
It's not like i don't have any reason ,to tell you the truth i got enough !haha .It maybe a silly reason ,but i feel just that .I want to focus on violin (i thought ,it will be good if i focus on 1 task ,then move on to the other) .So please if there's "anyone" who want to learn the violin ,tell me !
It's not fair if i don't tell them about my skill .Actually i'm not "very good" .I started violin when i entered Senior High School (grade 10) .I remember correctly that i've got my first violin lesson on 1st August 2008 .And i bought my first violin on 5th August 2008 .Right now ,i studied a series of Mazas Etude ,Kayser Etude (preliminary & progressive studies ,and the exercise of positioning) .I currently studied under Suzuki Method .I'm on Suzuki 5 (but my tutor told me to skip the 6 ,and ask me to procced to 7).

Why do i want to give the violin lesson ?

• As you see ,i need money for buying some "violin needs" .And i can't ask more to my parents .
• I want to experiencing it ,at least once :)
• To have more "musical surroundings"

I stroke on my hardest time right now .Please tell me if you're interested in ,If you're asking for the price ,Let's negotiate next ,real thanks :)

continuous ,huff

So sorry for the late post guys :(

Right now i've got a lot of to-do list !I'm really confused on which one should i do first .My father caught on illness ,and my school is a real disturb (so many works to do) ,so in this 2 weeks ,i abandon my practice ,don't imagine it ,i can make a real annoying noise with my violin .Moreover ,the church that my teacher told me will held a performance at 30 February .I got it ,i won't play .

It's pretty early of the new year ,but i'm really busy with these stuff .And the worst one is school !I can't concentrate in my lesson (i hope the test won't coming this month) ,i'm really tired ,once i headed home ,i'm really exhausted .Those circumstances keep continuing since 2 weeks ago .Now that my father has get back up ,i want to redo my practice .I hope i can do it right .I'm working on my arm vibrato right now ,but it's pretty hard .

it's my teacher assignment ,and i've got the new one today too ,Forgive me God .

My school works this time was to make a movie set .And i manage to be the music editor ,and a supernumenary .Sucks of being supernumenary ,i have to come for an unwanted scene .Moreover sometimes they cancel the shooting (oh god ,i've brought my stuff already) .I'm sure have it rough .I hope our school-stuff on my next grade won't be worse than this .Talking about my school i've finally reach the second semester .It means i need to prepare a lot for my final exam .
Hey today i switch my lesson with irene's .So i got my lesson in 3 p.m .And i finished it already .I play the second position assignment from him ,not too bad ,well not as bad as the last one .And i think i've nothing too urgent to do this week ,so it's the best time to practice !Wish me luck guys !and please wish me luck on my school too :)
