Viola da Gamba: Suite in G Major

I wrote and recorded these pieces when I had been playing viola da gamba for a year and five months, which, at this point, was some time ago. Although I believe I have improved on the instrument since then, I share them here as they are with those who have been kind enough to follow my progress thus far. If you play viola da gamba and would like to try these pieces yourself, you can find the scores available free of charge on my website.

You play viola too! It takes much talent passion and dedication learn even one instrument let alone the many you play! To write such a piece of music is very impressive! Bravo! 🌹

Thank you, dear Nissi. We were in Rome, Italy when your comment was posted, and I tried to respond to it immediately. I was able to write a response, but, when I tried to post it, it just disappeared time and again. So, I'm sorry to be getting back to you so late, but, once again, I greatly appreciate your support of my amateur efforts.

@@stephenarndt1943 I've had that happen to me before - no worries about timing with me - I love rhythm but I'm no lover of time as all that is good and beautiful is timeless! You are a very nice person! 🙌Hope you enjoyed your travels. 😊💫

Jetzt, da wir wieder zu Hause sind, sehe ich, wie schlecht ich wirklich mit dem Handy schreibe! Daher habe ich meinen früheren Kommentar gelöscht. Rom war eine zwiespältige Erfahrung. Einerseits waren die Kunstmuseen und die historischen Kirchen überwältigend schön, andererseits machten der ohrenbetäubende Verkehrslärm, die dichten Menschenmassen, das komplizierte öffentliche Verkehrssystem und die schwierige Orientierung (es gibt relativ wenige Straßenschilder) das ganze Erlebnis weniger angenehm. Ich konnte zumindest viel Italienisch sprechen, was mir sehr gefiel, und wir trafen ein wunderbares deutsches Ehepaar, mit dem wir hoffentlich in Kontakt bleiben werden. Vielen Dank fürs Zuhören.
