Just curious to see if anyone had been submitted to the horror of playing it because I got to play it in a concert last month. 90 flutes is waaaaaaaay too many, especially since they usually have the same part as violins. How big is the orchestra?!?! (Sorry that might be too personal a question but WOW that’s a lot of humans).
Shadowed they/them Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 It’s not so much of an actual orchestra and more of a programme that you get signed up to and then they invite you on different orchestra days - there’s not that many people all in a room at once. That being said, there’s 600 people on it
CrypticSpren he/him Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Somehow didn't find this thread 'til now. I think y'all would appreciate this one 1
Szeth's Facepalm Posted January 16, 2023 Author Posted January 16, 2023 i did the recital lol it went great!!
Lord Gregorio he/him Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Dropped in to mock my own orchestra at my high school. By senior year the "symphony" or "orchestra" or whatever only consists of like a dozen people. The teacher made it so if you don't show up to one concert because you gotta be somewhere, your grade drops like crazy. I would have kept playing the violin, but I quit in eighth grade. Since this is a cellist thread. Just gotta say cellos are one of the best musical instruments. *chef's kiss.* They're like the perfect pitch. And Steve Nelson is an absolute beast, must be awesome to be related to him.
Immortal Platypus Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I love the cello, I'm a bass player though. Always wanted to be and it was worth it. Can I get free backstage passes Facepalm? Pleeeeeaaaaaaasssseeeee????

That1Cellist he/him Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Wow a lot of stuff happened when I wasn't paying attention. Just wondering, what is the average self-esteem of my fellow cellists like?

Healthy, even. I know my strengths and weaknesses and they're cool. Even though it usually seems like the weakness outnumber the strengths, i try to keep on the positive cause I've been there with self-hatred and i don't want to again. Why do u ask? 1

Having the best high school cellist in my state at least have private lessons after me is terrifying. Also my self-esteem is really low. Edited January 23, 2023 by That1Cellist
Tea Leaf Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I no longer play the cello for reasons about mental health, but the cello is the best instrument. Maybe second to the Viol. Edited February 13, 2023 by The last Fae in the Woods

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 I will unleash the bunnies on any who dare defile the sacred cello.
Tea Leaf Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Just now, That1Cellist said: I am prepared to commit righteous murder in defense of cello supremacy. See the ranks are roughly Cello > Viola > Bass > Violin But the best two combined is a Viol.

You have no respect for us, I see. That's fine. If any of you need someone to murder, just to make yourselves feel better, you know where to find me. Actually I hope you don't, that would be very creepy.

I would say Cello=Bass (depends on the person) >Viola>Violin. I hope your fingers are fine.
Cash67 Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 As a piano player, the cello is one of the most beautiful instruments. Just watch over the garden wall for proof of this (and some proof that piano an cello pair really well together)
Immortal Platypus Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Have you ever heard a viola-bass duet? It can sound so good. The tones just complement each other perfectly in the right scenario.
