IT’S NOT A VIOLIN
ancient violist proverb (via chopin-demonium)
Sometimes when I walk around campus and see someone I don’t know carrying a violin case, I say, “Oh, so you play the viola?”

Here we see the importance of instrumental timbre and colors in shaping a piece of music!
WATCH: We humans aren’t the only ones who like to dance to the soothing sounds of the violin. Pairi Daiza zoo in Belgium invited violinists to rehearse in front of these elephants.

MUSICAL NOTATION, AS DESCRIBED BY CATS
(I would have liked to crop some of these gifs (like the accent ones) to make them more accurate but alas, I lack the skills.)
i want to know the key signature so badly like it would change so many things
Hell, we don’t even know what clef this is in, this could sound like almost anything.
the important part is it’s about a burrito tho
But the burrito might sound sad depending on the key. I want to know the emotional state of this burrito. I’ve become invested in learning its story.
WHAT KEY IS THIS IN
BURRITO IN D MINOR
Actually, it's more likely that it's in D major. If you look at measure 1, assuming treble clef, beat four is a C. If it were d minor, the written note would be C natural, and you wouldn't tonicize d minor with its leading tone. If it were d minor, there would be a sharp in front to C to make it C sharp. Therefore, for the C as written to be C sharp, the key sig would need to be D major.
A very special kind of nerdborhood.
Practicing tips from Eugene Drucker
Eugene Drucker, violinist and member of the famous Emerson String Quartet, gave a violin masterclass at my university today. Here are some of the tips he passed along!
- Practice in front of a mirror. See yourself and your playing from an outside perspective in order to objectively analyze your work and engage in problem solving to improve your playing, both technically and musically. In essence, be your own teacher. Rote repetition will only get you so far. - Along those same lines, audio and/or video recording yourself is good too. Play it back and analyze it without focusing completely on being disappointed at how much it sucks (my words, not his). Mr. Drucker advises students to record themselves, and analyze the recording together with their teacher, who will be able to point out things the student doesn't notice. - When trying to work on bow-hand technique and left hand technique separately, isolate one by giving the other an easier task to do. For example, when practicing a technical passage, bow it in slurred groups so you can focus on the placement of your fingers. When practicing bow technique, one thing that can be done is to just bow the open strings of the corresponding notes. Mr. Drucker does note that this can sort of be difficult to do without writing out the open strings on staff paper. - When on stage performing a difficult passage you know you've had trouble with, Mr. Drucker advises identifying one main spot around which to structure your playing (in the technical sense, not the musical/phrasing sense), such as a high note that you know you'll be returning to. Use it as an anchor point for all the technical things that happen around it. - When learning a fugue (e.g. Bach fugue) be sure to focus on the movement of the new voices that pop in, and direct the listener's attention to them, such as when the voice is the lower part of a chord (don't let the high notes of the chord overshadow the note that belongs to the fugue's line).
um you guys
IF THIS ISN’T THE GREATEST THING YOU’VE EVER SEEN THEN YOU’RE LYING
this is the culmination of the entire history of classical music
Will this feline musician be giving any masterclasses soon...?

Wish I had waited a bit before transcribing my version...! But be warned that this does not exactly match was was heard during the episode. There is one difference: the last E eighth note in measure 5 was an F on the soundtrack. Having it be an F is also consistent with the melodic pattern of the following two measures.
Waltz, for Mary and John by Sherlock Holmes. Transcribed by me.
