I think on this one, the first half went well, then the second half wasn't as good. For 2nd violins: In the 2nd measure, I think the d was played early by some people. In measure 6, I think the g was out of tune. On measures 32-37 it's marked forte for the 2nd violins and I don't think we were playing forte. Same thing with measures 38-58 for 2nd violins, it is marked double forte and I could barely hear us. Also, in measure 58, I don't think everyone ended on that note on the first beat(g for 2nd violins) at the right time. In measures 64-the end of the piece,I think the 1st violins were over powering the sound and I couldn't hear 2nd violins at all, so i couldn't tell when we messed up or not, except for measures 113-116 and 90-94 when I could hear actually hear that we did good I think.

I felt this piece overall was good if you don't know what it is suppose to sound like. I felt that the first part of the song was good but, starting at measures 32-37 were jumbled and the 2nd violins needed to be louder. Another thing about the first part of this piece was at measure 58 not everyone one stopped together. For the second half i did not feel we did as well. For me anyway I now the notes but I cant put the rhythm together with them fast enough and then i get lost starting on the second page. Towards the end of the piece starting around /measure 113 we lost it and the ending was jumbled and them we got it back together at measure 118.

1st violins really need to watch their tremolos. I think the fact that the instruments have lots of repeats of each other is challenging. The 2nd violins had nice tones, and the only part they need a bit of work is in the beginning, when their rhythm and 1st violins rhythm are different. 1st violins definitely rushed..at the double notes, we need to subdivide. The ending was not together, but with a bit of work, I bet we can do it! Good job:)

i think we really need to work on this from the other 2.th i think the some of the slurs were kind of off tune and the seconds weren't used to the speed . near the end a violin holded a G too long . the first haf sounded good but the second we could work on
