Dragonhunter Rehearsal - 4/1/11

Out of all the pieces dragonhunter had the most mistakes. One mistake is that many notes were flat and sharp and the long 7 beat notes were too quiet, But the dynamics were great.

I think the notes could be a little more crisp, and intonation slightly adjusted in a few places; but overall, we were together and it sounded great.

I think that when the violins play low notes it sounds very odd like many people are out of tune. Also i think we stayed together well except in the pitz. Forte section when we speed up.

Really the only issue in this piece was that we need to slow down at 46.

I think the Cellos sounded a bit flat after the 3rd measure after the violins. Also I think that some people missed the Coda at went on to measure 27.

I thought we did pretty well but I think at measure 46 we sped up a little.

Some people didn't play the fourth finger A. The plucking also sped up at measure #46-49.
I think the dynamics were really good.

At m. 3 and 18-22 the eighth notes weren't together completely. Also someone came in early at measure 37, and we started rushing while plucking. Most of the rest of the song sound pretty solid, so good overall.

There was mild spreading of bad tune through the piece, but nothing some good concentration can't fix. i don't think anyone else saw it, but i heard some people stumbling around the plucking section. Some missed the coda and went to 27. And the cellos had a bad note somewhere 22-25 in the second time through.

At measure 42 to 46 we sped up a little but overall not much work to do.

We were a little out of tune at the beginning but it got better later and we didn't speed up during the pizzicato part until when it changed to forte but the piano part was a lot better than i would have expected. Some of us also forgot to go to the coda including me but we recovered quickly. I LOOOOOVE the ending!!!!!!!!

The first thing I noticed that we realy need to fix is in the beginning when the cellos go bum bum bum bumb bum bumb bum bum, it doesn't sound very crispy. I also noticed we really need to fix our INTONATION! One more big problem is, we sound like we're playing hap-hazardly or like we're bored. We need to put some more ENERGY into it! So I would say this song could hve more room for improvement!

I agree we were really fast at 46 but overall its pretty good

we got out of tune after the first few measures, then we lost each other during the pizz part.

We did a really great job on staying together. And the dynamics in the pizz was very good. Only thing i'de say is to make sure we play 4th finger and then were ready to perform!

I think at some of the measures we were not together and someone came into too early. Overall it sounded pretty good.
