Czech Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) is credited for bringing the "nationalism" musical at its best. His symphonies, chamber pieces, operas, dances, Slavic and are imbued with the air of his native Bohemia, and bursting with melodic genius thanks to the deep spirituality which is of romantic ideas, the generosity with which develops and color that comes to combine the instruments. Of all his works, perhaps the most famous is the New World Symphony , composed between late 1892 and first quarter 1893, although the release did not occur until December 16, 1893, under the baton of Anton Seidl conducting the New York Philharmonic. Its four movements are Adagio / Allegro molto, Largo, Molto vivace and Allegro con fuoco. The second motion, we wish to share with you a
transcription for violin, was inspired by the poem Song of Hiawatha , Henry W. Longfellow. This movement begins with a calm and solemn sentence, the orchestral score that precedes the entry of the English horn on a serious background. It is a nostalgic melody, with echoes in spirituals of the African American community nineteenth century, pervaded by a deep religious reverence that extends over several bars. I hope you enjoy playing this transcript as much as we do in our music test.
In a previous post we talked about the different sizes of violin 4 / 4, 3 / 4, 1 / 2, etc., and we gave some tips about the appropriate measure to each according to age. Now I want to share a tip given to us by our teacher, especially new entrants, at the last meeting we had with him. To learn the violin as we should acquire, it must be measured with the long extended horizontally into the body side, our left arm. According to our teacher, the scroll of the instrument should not exceed half of the palm or be below the wrist. If the instrument is shorter, perhaps more should be done in a viola. And if the arm is too long, almost like wing pterodactyl, because once a cello. However, if you really want the violin, then take it with love and trust that takes the lover and not loose.
