As a violist I appreciate so much your playing. Wonderful sound (also good instrument), every single note is clear and clean. Amazing....

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

10:16 - that might be *one of the best* virtuosic harmonics ever played AND recorded on viola! Literally, that sweet harmonic is what every violinist/violist/cellist/bassist hopes to achieve every time they play a harmonic in that fashion!

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

The passage starting at 9:56 .... it sounds a bit like a train warming up on its journey. A train that "knew it had a heavy load.... but not *that* heavy!"

[@IVANSARKANY]
