For this party, I picked a tune I learned with my teacher back in 2017: Chorus from Judas Maccabaeus (from Suzuki Book 2).  It always sounds and feels sad to me when I play/hear it.

Played with The Traveler yaaaa_gif

I'm an adult violin learner just coming out of a 4-year hiatus!

@ABitRusty Excellent playing on your O Sullivan’s March – and beautiful pictures.  A good description--a lonesome lament.smile

When you write your memoir (because we all should do that, right?), it should be called "My Life in Images"; and you can include all the wonderful photos you've created.

@Jols  Great job, Jols!  Sounds excellent!  And, liking the shift to 3rd position to avoid the string crossing thing—nice exactly
