Danse Infernale Rehearsal - 4/1/11

At measure 81-85 violins were not in tune. Also at measure 106-109 we need to be more unified. Everybody needs to know the coda. It
sounds like were just playing the notes and not into the music

The intonation is a little rough at the begining with the lower 3 parts. During the pizz. part, we need to pulk(?) a little louder.
Violas need to play with fuller bows to create a louder sound. we cant really hear them. Same with 2nds.
But make sure we have the right intonation.
Sometimes its a little off. Make sure to watch f# and alot of the notes on the E string. Expecially towards the end.
I think our orchestra has really improved and grown with this peice. Work a lttle harder these last couple days, and it will be great.

Okay, we have some work to do. I thought that the beginning sounded pretty good. At 23, the 2nd violin part sounded really out of tune...
45-65 we weren't together...
The weird part (89-105) we all got either ahead or behind and it was kind of a mess, like everyone was playing their own part. But, throughout the piece the dynamics were really good.
The coda needs some work too !
but yayyyy us - this is a very hard song!!!!

1.Cello and Basses need to work on starting but it had a good attack power
2.It's f#!
3.really need to work on all third position third fingers
4.Maesure53-61 need to work on about everything(in tunation,being together,etc..)
5.we were all together from measure 85-87
6.some first violins came in at the wrong time at measure91
7.need to work on measures 91-103
8.need to work on in tunnation from measure 106-109and staying together
9.nice comeback after D.C.
10.Need to work on G in measure119
11.need to work on intunation in maesure 120

Oh gosh...well in the beg. the cellos need to be more in tune!! and violins need to know high two on the d and low to on the a. and at 23 seconds and violas need to be more in tune. 45 firsts...oh my. same with 53. at 95 it sounds like we are guessing the notes! and the whole entire coda need work.

i think that all violins need to work on intonation! also second violins need to have more confedance during measures 89 through 104. also seconds need to work on the f shaps in measures 23 through 28.

At measure 25 I think that we sounded out of tune, but we kept together very well.

The cellos at the beginning sound at of tune. measures 8 and 9 for first violins hearing snarps. 45-54 first vioins are really sounding bad. 85-87 sounded good:). Second violins watch your counting from 91-104. 106 was rushed!! Sped up when we started back up.118-the end was off...

I don't think any cellos came in at measure 49, and also, I've noticed someone playing extra at m. 67.

I think that we REALLY need to be more together throuogh the whole song, also we are off beat but the rest of the song sounds good.

Intonation is the key thing. Also, people aren't playing F#s. Someone played at the rest in m.121. At m.13 the double up bows sounded like one note.

When we start the slow part at 69 everybody needs to make sure to get the right tempo and know when and what to play. Also the violins need to really get the coda down because it seemed like we did not know the notes well at all. Also we everybody needs to count their rests better.

At measure 25 violins are out of tune and in the begging the violas were not together but otherwise we were all together.

I think our pizz. was rushed, the double stops needs to be in tune. The tone quality could be better, and I suggest that all the instruments need to practice playing on the bridge. Cellos and violins weren't together, violas and 2nd violins need to play out more. I think the bases did a nice job, though.

I heard a lot of people playing F natural (which is a bad thing..)
Also, when we were supposed to play detached quarter notes in a Baroque style, the notes sounded too connected.

i forgot to add measure #
The part where we play in a Baroque style starts from measure 71 to 77.
Also, we did a great job at playing in forte :)

The intonation isn't too great, cellos need to watch their entrance at 49 and the cut offs at spots like 45 and 90. REMEMBER TO COUNT!
