We seem to have trapped one of the mods within the forum's code... and we're not sure how to get him out. Oh well, he'll figure it out!

I'm sorry, but as I have stated on GMW, I hate the viola with a passion. No offense to any viola players, but I despise the instrument.

doesn't hugo play viola?

but why hate it? it's an easy instrument to ignore granted... it needs to be there, but it almost never gets the spotlight, but that makes it the easier to ignore...
It's on a need-to-know basis that you don't need to know.

I don't ignore it, but I just like the viola in the big orchestra. A solo performance is unbearable!
Check out my arrangements! I mean it! Check them out!

The thread is a few months old, but I figure'd I'd contribute...

I do record myself occasionally. That's my most recent one.

Wrist supports. I injured my hands a few years back (Combination of Band camp, 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata, and WAY too much playing...).

The gloves usually keep them from swelling up.

dahans: Oh, I LOVE pathétique :) Can't decide though whether the 1st or 2nd movements are my favourite. But I'd probably have to go with the 1st XD

I would love to learn it, but having Erb's Palsy doesn't help the situation at all :( Can only hold my arm out past the C above middle C only for about a minute before it wants to die.

And that's why I don't have videos. I still play, but nowadays it's getting to the point that after 10 or so minutes, I just can't play anymore.

It's a pre existing condition, so it won't be 'cured' At least it only affects my right arm. The fatigue comes from my elbow being out at a funny angle. Sorta goes out sideways while I play :P That's what's most frustrating. Tend to bump quite a few things.

Yeah, it sucks  :P

I just got a crazy idea; I do a song using just my left hand... Record each part and do a sort of 'self duet' sorta like this. Might be weird to do that, just because my right arm may jump in because it'll feel left out :P

That's been done before...look up concertos written for the left hand, you'll find at least two or three. Though it is an interesting take on it...just don't make simple and "tinkly". Good Luck.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

One of them is the Left Hand Concerto from Ravel...
