Inquiries from my Inbox: Jason writes: “Hey! Last night, I went to see Sepultura. The first openers were all bands I knew and somewhat liked. Most of them played tight, well-rehearsed, energetic and interesting sets. But when Sepultura came on, it took about a minute to realize that they were working on a completely different level than the openers. They were tight, well-rehearsed, energetic and interesting but they had something else that I can't describe. It was just electric. I'd chalk it up to liking the band and knowing their material - and I sure there's some of that - but I'm really not THAT big of a Sepultura fan.” Random Musical Thought: from Psalm 33:3, “Play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.” Rachel Barton Pine’s appearance on the national radio show St. Paul Sunday, recorded on October 19, 2004.

It made me think that perhaps there’s your demographic for a concert of works by Webern and Berg and Stockhausen: dudes who dress in black, listen to Metallica, and rent the Saw series.

I have lived a lot of places like Chicago, Milwaukee, Boston, Houston, L.A. and Philly. Do you have a favorite other than Chicago?” Random Musical Thoughts: "I would vote for Bach, all of Bach, streamed out into space, over and over again. We would be bragging, of course, but it is surely excusable to put the best possible face on at the beginning of such an acquaintance." (Lewis Thomas) "Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven, and Bach tells us what it's like to be the universe."

I have looked and looked, but I have not been able to locate the violin sheet music.

However, practicing the entire thing front to back is incredibly time consuming, and I'm hoping there's a better, more efficient way to get this done.” Heather writes, “I am having my solo debut with orchestra coming up in March and am playing the Mendelssohn. I am a professional player, though not a soloist. How do you handle the endurance that it takes to get through a piece like this? I am exhausted for sure after playing a symphony concert, but playing solo is a whole different thing, which obviously you are well aware. I have been playing it for people to have the experience of playing it as much as possible though I don't have it memorized yet. My left hand gets so tense and tired and this only occurs when I am playing solo! I am hoping you have some helpful hints or insights. Also, on a fun note, where do you purchase your awesome gowns?” Random Musical Thought: Should each classical concert only have music from a specific sub-genre like rock concerts?

Jesus Florido, Asturias by Albeniz arr. Rachel Barton Pine Inquiries from my Inbox: Penelope asks, "How many concerts a year do you play? Just wondering..." Random Musical Thought: Teaching artist Eric Booth writes: "Entertainment happens within what you already know. Underneath its many features that inspire, delight, frighten, sadden us, it confirms our sense of the way the world is. That's the whole point of entertainment- to stimulate and affirm- and it's often done brilliantly. The artistic experience had better not be opposed to this, or we are in big trouble. Art also stimulates and affirms, but it happens outside of what we already know; art enlarges our sense of the works- it expands our sense of the possible."

However, I cannot find any information about the piece itself, only a biography of Saint-Saens. Could you please direct me to a source?"

For a searchable database of summer music programs, visit www.allthingsstrings.com/search/ssg/advancedsearch.aspx. Random Musical Thought: What if violin students brought bows with them to concerts like kids bring baseball gloves to baseball games? Writing your own cadenzas: list musical material from all of the parts of the orchestral score and number each excerpt; study others' cadenzas: count how many measures long they are to find a typical range, write out each cadenza's harmonic scheme to note progressions and how many keys are used, mark which excerpts are used in others' cadenzas and observe how they are altered, note how many bits of musical material are used in each cadenza; brainstorm in your head and improvise on your instrument rather than trying to write the cadenza starting at the beginning, jot down any good ideas you come up with and when you have enough possibilities you can try to put them all together; think about whether the style of your cadenza matches the style of the concerto. total playing time: 16:09 SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST ON I-TUNES!

If you're particularly adventurous you can even have the composer take you down a fresh path." Conductor Christoph Eschenbach says, "Living composers are not monsters. What we get in the theater, museums and books is new. Why should it be the opposite in music?" - All about my new CD, "Beethoven and Clement Violin Concertos" with Maestro Jose Serebrier and the Royal Philharmonic.

Global HeartStrings is dedicated to supporting these aspiring classical musicians. Rachel's youngest sister, 20-year-old violinist Hannah Barton, is helping organize supply-gathering drives for Global HeartStrings. For more information, please visit www.rebf.org.

A very talented violinist and wonderful person. Thanks Rachel for putting this cool podcast together!
Violin Adventures
These podcasts are excellent!!!! Thank you Rachel!!! Please continue these podcasts we so look forward to them!!!
Jack
Fantastic Podcast
'Violin Adventures' is a wonderful podcast. I have learned so much from it! RBP is obviously passionate about the violin and that, plus the great diversity of topics, is why the podcast is so good. My favorite episodes are the ones where she goes into depth about a piece and plays samples from it. Loved the Tchaikovsky and Bruch ones!
Really glad she's brought it back from hiatus!
