This is my latest attempt at recording something I really like. When I first heard this tune, I knew I needed to try it.

Thanks, @ABitRusty! I have to admit that this new viola seems to have given me a boost in confidence that has helped me. Whether that confidence will continue may be open to debate.

Sounds WONDERFUL! 

Maybe you should take a vacation more often, getting more relaxed! 

Think you are playing great, ready for some ornaments? 

Thanx, for sharing your music with us!

@ELCBK - Thanks, and thanks for listening to me! Ornaments may be a little further down this road, but not as far as I once thought!

@SharonC - Thanks! Don't tell my wife I have a new female crush! lol

Sorry, was thinking this was the Critique Version! This one does not include the ornamentation! Did some or all of the ornamentations sound like the double cuts that they were intended to be?

@JohnG Nope, not at all! Since we’re all players here, we all understand the work that goes into learning, and you’re doing really good! And we all know we are hardest on ourselves 🙂 Keep up the good work!
