Good day! Can you tell me your impressions of the difficulty of Mahler 5? First orchestra overall and then the viola part. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being...
Hi Renee, Whilst difficulty is very subjective (what I find difficult you may find easy), Mahler 5 is difficult and in my opinion the viola part is too. Read =...
In a message dated 12/2/2007 4:02:04 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, ... I hate to be the one to point out the error, but that's the slow movement of Mahler's...
And I also hate to be the one to point out errors, but the slow melody introduced by the basses in Mahler’s first symphony (The titan), while a folk song, is...
you are quite right - but it is Frere Jacques set in minor. Mahler is quite clever at transforming things from a major to a minor key, what with being a...
Mahler 5 is very hard. Perhaps not the hardest Mahler (6 might be that; as an ensemble it might be 7), but still pretty hard. To me the last movement is the...
Dear Claire, And you know... I hate pointing out that I said... "The slow third movement is very beautiful and if you know "Frère Jacques" you'll be okay! So...

Both the 1st and the 5th are very good reasons to (1) love Mahler, and (2) play viola (or any instrument, for that matter!). They are both "difficult" for...
Thanks all for the Mahler 5 answers. I wish I could say that I was the one playing it. My son will be playing it and he has told me how frustrating it is! ...
Charles -- the ones that come to mind for 2 violas with orchestra are the two afore-mentioned Prot Sinfonia Concertante (Classical) and Telemann Concerto in G...

Has anyone ever messed with playing Greensleeves in major? Potentially offensive to the theoretical ear - but great fun non-the-less. There are many...
I am SO tired of teaching the so-called "Handel" "concerto" that I am taking a sabbatical from it. But - what will fill the gap? Do you have suggestions for...

Agreed, that the "Handel" (H. Casadesus) concerto is not the best of pieces, it is still a decent one and has its values in studying and performing. Primrose...
