Hi, Mad_Wed! In measure 6 of V1 I don't think you need to think in 12/8. You can keep your brain in 4/4. A couple years back someone told me to think of two 8th notes in 4/4 as making the word apple, like AP-PLE, all in the one beat. A triplet in 4/4 is like the word chocolate, like CHOC-O-LATE, said in the one beat. So, in measure 6, say it to yourself like::
AP-PLE CHOC-CO-LATE AP-PLE AP-PLE
Of course, don't bow on the syllable on the tie, but you get the idea of how to think of it to get the rhythm.
Fiddlerman, I hope I am not steering Mad_Wed wrong. I think it works for me, though!

Aaaaand i'm having a question (or two XD)!1) I'm mesmerized with V2. Measure 48: those are 64ths, aren't they? I've never played something that has so many lines, so i might be mistaken... And if those are 64ths, then first 8 notes in that bar should be played all in a duration of an 8th note (i'm still trying to count while playing =) - eternal war with my sense of tempo).
2) How do you guys switch your brains from 4/4 to 12/8 to play triplets? Especially in 6th bar of V1? Triplets are nice when they all triplets in one bar, but when it's only one triplet and the others are usual - it's brain-blowing-up! How do you count them?
Thanks a lot if somebody shares with the thoughts!

When the Demo's showed up in my youtube subscriptions it grabbed me, I am a complete beginner at violin, but I think I might be able to pull something together that sounds at least a little bit like it should. Even if I miss the deadline for this group project, I'm not giving up.... Challenge accepted!









@mad_wed - Ditto to what you said. I am trying to figure out what the hell I am going to do. LOL
Thanks a lot for the vids, Pierre! If someday i'll get somewhere near to that "imperfection" - i'll feel myself like a real violinist, LOL! Thanks for the explanation of those 64th at the end of V2 video!

Pierre... Just so you know.. I am not bitching.. I am just laughing at my attempts..
AND I have improved on measure 34-38 on Violin 1 ...about 50 percent... WOO WOO!!!! (certainly not bragging .. YET) ha hahah
I find humor in the challenge.... I will either make the cut or not... This one.. .well some of the other parts seem challenging too.
I am happy to give it a shot. I bet it is going to sound Epic.
*however if you find time for some BABY melody part...Or maybe some castanet or finger snapping parts??? LOLOLOL .. I might love you for ever.. LOLOLO*****
Come ON PEEPS>>> keep on doing it... This is OUR homework.. Our project... Our recital!!~~~~~

In practice today I played along with the v3 video and managed to keep up, the video also helped me a tonne where I was getting lost, still a bit slow on some parts but it's getting there. For kicks I thought I'd play along with the v1 part, the only bit I couldn't keep up with was the top 2 lines on the second page, wow that's fast. I can play it slow but not up to tempo yet.

@mischa91 congrats on the progress you are making.
I am having trouble getting the measure 34-38 etc up to temp. I actually took a bit of a break on this for a couple days. I will resume practice this weekend and see where I can get with V1 or any part of the song.
Good luck... keep it up.
