Hi,everyone!

I have known 3 fair-sounding compositions of violin, which named 《Canon and Gigue in D major for 3 violins and Basso Continuo》,《schindler's list》and《Valse Triste》.

However, I want to get more beautiful compositions about violin, cause I love it so much.

If you have got some beautiful sounds, just tell me please.:)
Thanks!

Hi again, shihouzhuge

The Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto would be considered to be the "big one" by many violinists. It's very beautiful!

Or, are you looking for shorter pieces?

Thanks!

I prefer some short pieces, while I do want to listen the music that you recommand. I guess it sounds good... :)

Thank you for your advice!

There's actually quite a few pieces with one or more violins in them that I would like to show to you, but I'm not able to play any site right now that has videos on them because this computer is so old. So, I can give you names of pieces and you can go to the links where you might be able to here them.

Here's a couple other favorites of mine with violins in them.

Schubert Death and the Maiden - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Schubert+Death+and+the+Maiden&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)

Schubert Trout Quintet - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Schubert+Trout+Quintet&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)

Oh, I really like Schubert Death and the Maiden though I don't know what it exactly means and who made this...

It sounds pretty good! And I'm curious about your age and where you're from, thanks!

Li

I'm glad that you like "Death and the Maiden"! It's a wonderful piece and knowing that you like it helps me to understand more of what you do like, as far as music is concerned. For some people, it can be a really hard piece to understand why it's likeable at all!

I'll have to do some research as to the meaning of why it was written...

I'm 53 and live in Rock Island, IL. If you read the information on my profile, you'll know a lot more about who I am.

What about you, please?

Thanks!

Thanks,Clough. I've read your profile, and I admire your experience, moreover, I think one couldn't have such wonderful experience in China. I learn so many things from you...

I'm a college student from Beijing in my senior year, and I'm 20 years old by the way my family name is Li. I'll have a Graduate Candidate Test in 40 days soon. It's an important exam in my life...

I like violin very much, and I really want to learn it after my graduation. By the way, have you learned violin yet?

I couldn't get more information about Rock Island,IL. Could you tell me something about that, please? Thanks!

Hi again, shihouzhuge!

I can tell you more later about Rock Island, IL.

In the meantime, please click on the following link.

Yes, I do play some violin. It was one of the first instruments that I learned. I didn't keep up on it, but do know it enough in order to be able to teach beginners how to play iit.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I've searched it in Google, but I found it's hard for me to get the main idea of that articles...

After my graduation, could you help me in my learning violin, please?
And I don't know violin at all, is it hard to learn?
Thanks!

The violin is one of the hardest instruments to learn, if you really want to play it in the classical way. Learning the 'cello is much easier.

If you would like to only play folk type melodies on the violin where you only have to play in one or two positions, it's not all that hard. Pieces involving that kind of playing can also be quite beautiful!

Yes, I can show you how to play the violin via some rudimentary and elementary instruction on this site.

I've been listening to and thinking about other pieces concerning the violin that you might enjoy hearing. I'll be listing them them, soon!

Thanks!

Thanks,Clough.

I don't want to be a master of violin, because I think it's too late for me, and I just want to learn it for my leisure time.

Could you tell me what's the difference between 'cello and violin, please?

Thanks!

Hi again, shihouzhuge!

The 'cello, sometimes just called cello and more formally called the violoncello, is a much larger instrument of the string family of instruments that are played with a bow. Unlike the violin, the music for the 'cello is played in the bass clef and sometimes the "C" clef, which is a movable clef, depending on the instrument for which the music is written in the "C" clef.

In modern times, the main ones used in the Western world of music, would be the violin, viola, violoncello and string bass.

I'll be happy to give you more information later, but am having some computer problems right now...

Thanks!

Okay, I'm glad that what I posted was posted! Didn't think that it got sent to the site. Am having some really bad computer problems right now.

Thanks!

Thanks, Clough!

What you told me about cello and violin made me more interested in violin, and I really hope I could learn violin at my sparetime. And I'll be right here to learn more about violin and music from you.

By the way, good luck to your computers...

Thanks!

Hey, shihouzhuge!

I'm finally able to be back on the site! Here's a link to a search for another piece that you might enjoy...

Max Bruch Scottish Fantasy - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Max+Bruch+Scottish+Fantasy&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)

Thanks!

So glad to have you back, Clough!

I have listened the composition. It's beautiful! And could you tell me about the background of it? I think I would like it more if I know it's deep meanings.

Thanks!

Hi, shihouzhuge!

Nice to "see" you, again! :)

If you go to the Wikipedia site in the search, you'll find some history of that composition.

Max Bruch Scottish Fantasy - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Max+Bruch+Scottish+Fantasy&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)

Thanks!

Thanks, Clough!
I will do it.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm still using the really old computer, so I'm not able to go to the Wikipedia site. Going there shuts down the browser that I'm using.

I do have more pieces that I would like to share with you, though...

Thanks!

Haha...

Unknown008 told that you meant to change your computer, however now I know you didn't change it...

As a matter of fact, my computer was an old one, too. Last time, my elder brother who have already worked a long time took my computer. About 3 weeks later, he bought a new one for himself and left the old one to me...

My second elder brother blamed elder brother for his "selfish", but elder brother didn't change his mind...

Now I have to continue to use the old one, the same to you...

Thanks!

Another piece for you, shihouzhuge...

Thanks!

I couldn't get into some foreign sites, but I found Massenet - Meditation from Thais in our search engine--baidu

It sounds pretty pretty beautiful, and I really like some melodies like light music.
Thanks a lot, Clough!

I'm glad that you liked it! :) It's a great piece! I do have others to show to you, too!

Is shihouzhuge your real first name? I think that you know that my first name is Craig, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Hi, Craig!

Some light music sound pretty good, and I really like something like that. On the other hand, I want to show you a piece of music if I could. However, I am not sure if you like it.

shihouzhuge is an idiom which means "It is easy to be wise after the event" and isn't my first name, and my first name is Wenjie.

Thank you for your beautiful music, Craig!

Hi, Wenjie!

I downloaded the file, but am unable to play it on this old machine. I'll find a way to play it sometime soon, though!

Thanks!

I think it's a better way for you to change a computer, Craig.:D(Just for fun)

The music named the dawn of heroes. It's not a composition of violin, however it sounds good in my opinion... I am looking forward to your comments.

Thanks!

Oh, how I wish that my regular computer was working! Listening to things would be no problem!

Since the file is on my computer, I should be able to save it to a CD and play it on one of my friends' computers.

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to your comments, Craig!

And wait for your other pieces of great music...

Thanks!

Starting on the 20th of this month, I'll be house and dog-sitting for some friends, for at least ten days, where I'll have access to a much faster and better computer.

Here's another piece that you might want to look up, Wenjie!

Dvorak Six Bagatelles Harmonium - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&fkt=3460&fsdt=21640&q=Dvorak+Six+Bagatelles+Harmonium&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)

Of course, I'm not able to listen to any audio files of it right now. But, if you find one that has the harmonium in it, it will warm your heart!

Thanks!

Thanks,Craig!

However I will listen it soon and I believe it is a good one...

And take my greet to your new computer, thanks!

Well, it won't be my computer, but that of a friends. But, thanks for the greetings to it, Wenjie!

Thanks!

Ha ha...

"It" is welcome!
Have a nice day, Craig! I will take an exam in 21 days soon. So I could not surf internet so often...

Thanks!

In the meantime, I'll find some more pieces for you, Wenjie...

Thanks!

Hey, Wenjie!

I was finally able to listen to that piece that's called "shanggan". It's very nice and would seem to work well as background music for a movie.

I hope that your studies are going well!

Thanks!

I do hope that you return to here, Wenjie!

Thanks!

Hi again, Craig!

I've finished my exams Yesterday, and I hope I could have a good mark.
However, I didn't feel very good...

Why don't you feel good about it, Wenjie?

No one really likes to take tests. We're always concerned about what the results might be because they mean so much.

Hey, Wenjie!

I was finally able to listen to that piece that's called "shanggan". It's very nice and would seem to work well as background music for a movie.

I hope that your studies are going well!

Thanks!

:)"shanggan", it's an accurate definition, and it's interesting for your saying that!

On the other hand, I think the song has something hopeful.

What does "shanggan" mean, please?

I'm listening to it again, Wenjie!

It's based upon a five-tone scale for the melody. That would be typical of Chinese music.

I found it's difficult, Craig,and I couldn't suppose the result...

I've learned so hard, but it's a difficult exam. I hope everything will be OK...

By the way, I will be back home in 9 days soon. Spring festival will be held in 2.14...

Thanks, Craig.

I'm sure that you'll do fine on the exams, Wenjie! You're a very determined and bright-minded young man!

Part of doing your best, is putting the work into doing it. I'm sure that you did!

It's not just practice that makes perfect, but perfect practice!

Thanks!

What does "shanggan" mean, please?

:D It means "sad" or "sentimental".

I feel better now. Much appreciated, Craig.

The result will come up about 2.10, and I am going to tell you the result first.

It does sound sad and sentimental!

Using a five-tone scale, within an octave, can lend itself to the music sounding that way.

I feel better now. Much appreciated, Craig.

The result will come up about 2.10, and I am going to tell you the result first.

Well, bless your heart, Wenjie!

I appreciate that! :)

Thanks!

Have you ever heard the Pachelbel Canon in D Major?

Are you still there, Wenjie? It looks like you've logged off from the site.

If you haven't heard the Pachelbel Canon in D, please click on the following links.

Pachelbel Canon in D Major - Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Pachelbel+Canon+in+D+Major&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)

It's one of the most popular pieces in all of classical music literature. You'll want to find the ones that are for a small chamber group or maybe an orchestra. Not the ones for the piano or guitar. Although, those other ones might be okay. I play it on the piano or organ and usually for weddings for which I play.

I'll have other things to tell you about it, once you've heard it. It contains one of the most prominent chord progressions used in music for a number of centuries that involves a number of other pieces.

Thanks!

Thanks, Craig! However I couldn't listen it right now. I'm looking forward to that piece and will listen if it is possible.

How were your scores on the exams, Wenjie? I'm "dying" to find out about that!

Thanks for your concern, Craig!

The result could be found out in about Feb 15. I am dying to get to know that, too. When I have it, I will tell you as soon as possible...

Okay. In the meantime, you can enjoy listening to music that we can share on here!

I also look forward to how you scored on the tests!

Here's another one for you Wenjie!

YouTube - Mozart Piano Quartet in G minor K. 478 at Tel Aviv Museum, 1st mov. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwCWh3WcJ6A)

It has both serious and happy, light parts to it.

I do so hope that you return to here!

Thanks!

It's now past February 15th, Wenjie.

Would you please let me know how you did on your exam?

Thanks!

How are you doing, Wenjie?

How are you doing, Wenjie?

Much appreciate for your concern, Craig!

I think Everything will be ok:)

Thanks!

It's so nice to hear from you again, Wenjie!

I was getting very concerned when I didn't hear back from you for so long!

Welcome back!

Now, I can't help but wonder where you are again, Wenjie...

Seems that we just missed each other here!

Much appreciate for your concern, Craig!

I think Everything will be ok:)

Thanks!

I'm sure that everything will be okay, Wenjie!

You've got a good head on your shoulders and are a very nice person! :)

When you come around here again, I'll write a piano piece that's just for you, Wenjie!
