[@arielpiv2976]

We had to play this in my orchestra class...it was extremely difficult for someone who was beginning cello

[@reallifedoor4536]

how long had you been playing for?

[@kelcydawson]

This is my first year playing cello but I practiced a lot and made it to chamber orchestra but we’re playing this right now and it’s so hard especially if you just started out playing

[@calib_2590]

[@litoboy5]

Have you seen the japanese dorama "NODAME CANTABILE"?

[@vypr8569]

1:00

[@IssacsBetter]

after seeing comments about BEGINNING cellos playing this, my confidence as a violist is destroyed.

[@jonesparg]

@Username DID say it was "so hard" and @ ArielPiv ALSO said "extremely difficult" (that is, maybe impossible?) .... so if I were you, I'd not let my violistic confidence be destroyed. Stand tall and play that viola!

[@clovekah9451]

Swamp Thang as a viola is really fun !! The only part for our viola section that gave us a hard time, surprisingly, was 2:00.
We had a small phase where everyone would drop out for a measure after slipping up; we got it fixed before our concert though !
