As a violinist. I have always had mad respect for the viola players. You all hold everything together. The balance between. Lets not forget the bass section as well. Nothing like a badass orchestera. Life.
I have to say, too, that your skill level has improved so much over the past year! I thought your playing was great before, but it's obvious, here, that your dedication and hard work has taken you to the next level. Well done, Viola King!
My orchestra teacher wanted us(a middle school orchestra) to play this, it was just me and two other violas and he had to cut it because we couldn't play the part lol, so hearing this being so amazingly played is literal bliss to my ears
as a violist this is absolutely OUTSTANDING. most people at my school don’t even know what a viola is. i was also the only violist in my elementary orchestra. you did amazing with this part. it is incredible! viollaaaaa ganggg wooh!
Bro you literally made me so happy. I'VE HEARD SO MANY jokes about Violas and to see that someone finally shows this much appreciation for the viola gang just gives me child-like joy
I’m 13 starting viola and I love it! The viola is an unnoticed understatement instrument! I love your videos I subscribe and am liking everything I see! Plz don’t ever stop making videos!
Same for “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”! My high school’s symphony orchestra played it in our most recent concert, and us violists had the melody. At first, only four violists could play, but we all carried at the end. It was the hardest piece we ever played since we weren’t used to having the melody. Finally something besides quarter notes and slurred eighth notes!
The one time I actually played a complicated part I just skipped like half the notes, the other violist too btw. They recorded the whole concert and sold the CDs bc it was the 600 year anniversary of my school, whelp guess my shame lives on forever recorded in crisp Audio quality
@@Serenity_yt can’t believe I’m just seeing this comment now, but I can’t imagine😭. I probably would’ve been someone near the back just playing whole notes lmao. But please tell me only the audio was recorded, not the video..
Violas are extremely hard at so many points… too bad we never get the melody. People often slander us for having the easy parts, but orchestra teachers have proved time and time again that without the violas my orchestra will fall apart. We kinda act like glue, and although it’s easier and I wish it was harder, it’s fun being a viola. Also, I have violinist friends and a violinist sister, I can play their violins, they find my viola too big/too hard to play. It’s an adjustment to size and notes (also I can read treble).. I love being a viola :)) we’re under appreciated and under recognized
Violists deserve so much appreciation and credit for all their hard efforts to make the melody sound so beautiful.. Thank you for uploading this video, I loved it! 💖✨👍
as a violist, i am very proud of our section in all orchestras because we deserve praise for playing difficult parts such as this when many people think all of our parts are simple and "don't add to the orchestra." your playing is excellent by the way!! great job :D
I remember this in high school orchestra. The violas were like “What is going on?” My friend was so used to just playing harmonies. She worked so hard to get this part right.
As someone who plays viola, I appreciate this video. The things we have to do are insane compared to the other instruments in some cases. Everyone in my class (mostly violins and I know it's not everyone) is always hating on us, and saying we are the worst instrument.
@@YeeterMcBeater470 I mean like if you listen to it, of course you will hear it, but like if a spectature casually just enjoys the music, they are not going to think about the drums so much and focus more on the music.
Thank you for representing the Viola Gang we most people just give up because its so hard from being background with the cellos and basses to switching to be melody with the violins. Thank you and i definitely feel where your coming from Viola is the best instrument and no one can change my mind
Yay for violas, I too am a violist. And proud. I played violin for 13 years, but now I've seen the light. Viola is just awesome and I have performed in so many exciting concerts with my beautiful viola
ive never subscribed to a channel so fast. seriously tho, ive played viola for 3 years and after watching just one yt short from Viola King, i don’t feel bad about playing viola anymore bc this man is literally amazing.
I’m a violinist but I’ve always admired how wonderful violas sound! They’re so deep yet also on the higher pitched side, and it’s honestly just beautiful!
@@kanchichatterjee2154 your comment is unqualified. Another excellent teacher said "Nichts erhöht mehr, als sich über andere zu erhöhen". Barely tolerable with people who actually have skills, let alone those who just troll.
He’s speaking facts people at my school be like “Viola parts are easy” sometimes yes and most the time no because he have to listen carefully because we will be playing with the violins then the cello and bass.
my teacher has told the violinists to listen to the violas because the violists cannot stay in tempo to save their lives and we are like keeping the steadiest beat
Hi! You’re very talented and I also play viola, I’ve played it for about 2 years now, but most songs I’ve played don’t have super exciting or hard parts so this part and melody is very fun and I don’t see many viola players either! Keep up the good work!!! 👍👍😁 Beautiful playing!
I played this last year in our band with full orchestra and when the winds and strings came together it was sooooo hype. I absolutely loved playing this and the piano part (my part) was the most fun I’ve had playing piano in a while
All parts of a piece can be difficult in their own unique melodies, harmonies, and accompaniments. (Traditionally 2nd violinist speaking) But it's the different melodies, harmonies and accompaniments that are written that makes the composition so beautiful and lively. I believe that no instrument in an ensemble is better or worse than another. The quality of the part is simply found in the musician's skillet and the amount of effort they use to perfect the piece or selection. You did an amazing job at those runs (can't tell if they're 16th or 32nd notes).
Finally found a violist on RUclips!! I have been playing viola for 3 years now and I'm already in the high School orchestra even though I'm in middle school. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE VIOLA ❤ and you play it amazing!!😊
Viola gang! I have always avoided learning this mental part in Pirates because the reward to effort ratio wasn’t high enough as I feel it’s not heard. You’ve inspired me to learn it properly next time I play it! 😆👍
Yeah, I play the viola. The thing about it is most of the time the parts are easier, but when we do have a solo, they are very difficult and complex. Especially because the viola is harder to play physically because it’s larger and heavier.
I love seeing violist shine. This is awesome actually. They have the best of both. Sounds like and cello and violin combined. Beautiful deep tones but bright lighter tones to match violins. ❤
@@JamesSmith-ij8nj in my orchestra those who can play violin can play viola, those play viola can’t play violin. What you said only apply to people with small hands, i can reach a twelfth so it isn’t a problem.

Violists aren’t familiar with the E string, you may add violinist aren’t familiar with the C string but somehow we just know how to play it, an experienced one ( a violinist would get this) . Violinists always get very high up on the E string while violists rarely get that high up on the A string.
@@gordonwu6828 Why can't violists play violin? Are they not allowed? Yes, 12ths, I am surprised how much further my left pinky stretches then the right..
I was taking lessons to learn this and yea it looks simple when you see someone do it that has experience already but once u try u realize how difficult and all the concentration u need
Violas are so underrated. I played viola for 3 years and I thought it was better than violin! I switched to cello at the beginning of this year and I actually miss viola! I'm currently in middle school, that's why I only played viola for only 3 years BTW. But cello is awesome, too. I love the way it sounds, it's so magical. I enjoy every piece I play, same for viola.
I realize this comment will most likely never be seen, but may I just say... Thank you for giving violas the recognition they deserve. I hadn't even heard of a viola until shortly before I began playing one. Keep spreading the word... Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, I am a viola player and everyone in my school is a violin besides me, and sometimes I get made fun of for being different and some people did say that it wasn’t fair because I got all the easy parts, but they didn’t realize that I got some hard parts and it made me very upset that people just didn’t listen to me because I was different, and to everyone, yes it can be hard playing a violin or a cello or a base, but playing a viola can be hard as well.
Absolut playing!! And yes we violists rule! I got asked to join a different youth orchestra than the one I usually play in to play Mahler's 2nd symphony w them this autumn and I'm so excited for it. And today we hade our big concert where we played pictures at an exhibition and the viola part there is NOT easy. Love your playing
I haven’t heard this in so long! So many memories I remember practicing for hours at a time just to get that part and I use to get goosebumps since as Violas we don’t usually get the melody ! 🎉❤ thank you for posting !!! 😊
I’ve been playing the viola since 4th grade and I’m in 7th now and my orchestra teacher this year picked songs where the cellos and violas have the melody in all pf them and I’m so happy
