Here is my version of this very beautiful piece that @Jim Dunleavy presented to us. I immediately fell in love with this. ❤️ Thank you so much for the link to sheet music and accompaniment!

I’m not 100% happy with my intonation, but I try to be gracious to myself because I have just started practicing pieces where I have to use the thumb position. This piece is actually excellent to work with it! 👍🏻 And recording really helps to point out where more practice is needed. So this is how far I got in a couple of days, I will definitely continue practicing this. I like peaceful and melodic pieces like this so much!

That is beautiful, Ilona - very impressed with your progress! 

You really bring out the best of that cello. 

When do you plan to get your new cello? 

Thank you for sharing this! ✨

Thank you, Emily! ❤️
About the new cello, I don’t know, probably not untill next autumn. It also depends on the covid-19 situation, because usually my teacher has been looking for new cellos from Germany. But I have to ask him, what should we do now.

Indeed it's a beautiful piece and you play it remarkably – all the more if you have practiced it just a few days ! (and as I missed Jim Dunleavy's post, I'm going to thank you for doing this video)

I'm putting it on my to-play-list. Rather, I'm starting a to-play-list (I don't actually have one at the moment) and putting this song on it. Should sound well enough with a viola too…

Thank you everybody! 😍

@wtw To-play-list is a great idea! I have that kind of list too. It’s quite long...🤪 Some of the pieces on my list are absolutely too difficult for me yet, but I like to have them on my list so I won’t forget them. 😊
