Little Symphony Rehearsal - 4/1/11

All together little symphony wasn't that bad but somebody started too early because they didn't breathe and the first ten measures we need to tune our notes. The most amazing part was the dynamics which had dramatic changes.

There are quite a few details that need work, but they are minor and can easily be corrected. First, measures 17-24 seemed a little rushed, and 25-28 could be a little louder. Also, the dynamics could be a little more prominent. But, we also had a very good ending. Despite the flaws, this is probably by far the best we've played this song.

There was one person who came in early but we talked about that in class and From measure 17 to measure 25 i think we could have used more dynamics it all just seemed metzo piano. At measure 30 i think a few people ware out of tune. Lastly i think the rest of the song from there on was spot on.

I think the violins sounded a little flat on measures 25-28 . Also the cellos sound a bit flat at measures 33-37

The only thing I really noticed was at measures 33 and 34 and at 36 and 37, I think some people are either forgetting to get back to the frog on the long notes or just can't get there fast enough. But everything else was pretty good.

Measurs 30 and 31 sounds a little weird. From measures 17-26, some people were slower.
Did a good job subdividing the notes and doing the accents.

At m. 18-19ish the cello and viola sections weren't together very well. Everywhere else I think the whole orchestra stayed together. At 33 and 36 the 7 beat long note sounds a bit strained but overall a pretty good performance.

Around the first 15 or 20 measures, i noticed that there seemed to be, not too much, but a little out of sync in the Violin and Viola sections, like there was a slight lag between some peoples sound and others.
The same things happens around the middle of the piece. And one thing i noticed taht i did badly is that i could barely hear myself in some parts, i'll need to play louder. Overall, it's the best we've done on this one so far, and a great ending too! ;D

I think that at measure 17 to 25 we didn't use enough dynamics also in the same measures people were slower than the others.

In the beginning of the piece, i noticed someone cme in early. Wether it was a bow slip, or they came in early because they didn't breathe,
we can't do that at COSI. Another thing i noticed is in the beginning, about the fist ten measures, the first violins did'nt seem to be together
and had a few slip ups in intonation, but I think once they got more into the piece, recovered and did well.

The one thing I noticed in the entire piece is that I couldn't here the violas at all. I also cut off to early during the 1st 7 count note which I can't remember why. But overall it sounded the best out of the 3 pieces we played minus the part that i couldn't hear the violas.

I think that this was our best piece the only problem was the long notes

I personally think this was our best yet! But I agree we need to make the dynamics stand out more. Also measures 17-25 violas, chellos, 2nd violins and bass weren't quite together.

during measure 17 to 19 cello and violas were not together very well, and violins were flat.

I think we are staying together very well but after measure 25 we speed up.
