no one can tell me that the Rumanian Folk Dances by Béla Bartók doesn't sound better on viola. just listen to the first movement, Joc Cu Bâtǎ (Stick Dance), and you'll get it. immediately. no doubt. and then the rest of what follows is just, like, damn this was MEANT for us
its just so much juicer
i hope this gets to the classical side of tumblr...
#is there a classical side of tumblr?#i know there's my one mutual (hi!!!)#tumblical#viola rep#classical music#violist#viola#viola violin discourse#(a lot of their music sounds better with us)#(what can i say... composers would really handicap themselves trying to appeal to the masses... and god knows what the masses know...)#im teasing guys#i feel like when i say that kind of stuff out loud everyone takes me seriously and it just becomes like an awkward blank stare off#i need the tone tag for teasing#is it just /teasing?#/tease#now i need to start saying that outloud#or learn how to say stuff in a tone of voice that is obviously interpreted as teasing
