wanted! Fellow musicians to play chamber music.
| 
Dec 4 22:57 UTC 1992 |
I am looking for people to play chamber music with. I'd like to
start a string quartet. I play violin. If you play violin, viola
or cello, please post here or send me mail. If you play
anything and would be interested in playing some chamber music,
go ahead and post here too. Thanks

I can't play anything Chris, but I'd love to hear such a group,
if you can form it. Good luck.

Don't laugh Matthew, there's modern music scored fro such, and it's not by
PDQ Bach.

If you ever get into playing chamber music that includes a
piano continuo, I might be interested. I haven't practiced
the piano much lately, but after 11-12 years of lessons, I
think I can get the facility back fairly quickly. Oops, make
that 13 years. I just recounted...

Ditto me. Or harpsichord continuo. (Transporting my harpsichord is
a little cumbersome, but possible -- or it could be at my house.)

Piano/harpsichord is ok by me. Violins are a lot
more portable.

What level are you playing at? (How many years of experience?)

Hooray for you- sometimes it seems like there aren't enough people today who
are interested in classical music as there should be.

Hmm... If I had room and money for a real bass, I could play at a reasonably
high level after a bit of practice.

(Yup. I had a harpsichord in 1992 when this item was posted,
and I still have it. The chamber group that this item is
about never came off, though...)

Wow, if anybody's still interested in forming a chamber music group, I
certainly am... (I just joined this conf). I've been playing piano for about
10 years (first instrument, and I never plan on quitting), I played trumpet
for awhile (about 4 years), but now I play horn, although I still have my
trumpet. I'm currently working on Vaughn Williams' Six Studies in English
Folksong with a friend and I'm organizing a piano trio. We had originally
wanted to play the Faure trio, but after a runthrough we realized that it
probably isn't the best piece to play for a 'first trio' (none of us have
done chamber music before), as it is very harmonically strange. So now we're
looking at a Beethoven, probably Op. 1 No. 1. That's about the extent of my
chamber music experiences though, I'm afraid.

I may be interested depending on the time commitment. I'm currently
playing cello in a violin/flute/cello trio, in a cello quartet, and, as of
a few days ago, in a cello duet. I'd put myself in the intermediate
student range and I'm more into have fun with music than in being
competitive.

Well, I'd be more interested in 'just for fun' playing, too. However, before
anything is organized, we'd need to find some more volunteers to play.
Chris's account's been reaped, so we'd need to find another violinist to do
a piano trio (well, a violin-cello-piano trio, that is). I'm sure there
are plenty more instrumentalists on Grex who just haven't seen this item.
Of course, there's still that Vaughn Williams piece that I mentioned
above, which was originally scored for piano and cello, and my duet
partner hasn't really been very reliable... but I'm sure that doing
something in a larger group would be more fun than a duet... hmm, we need
publicity for this item, perhaps?

I'd recommend getting this item linked to the "music" and "classical
music" conferences. Email the fairwitnesses, arabella and krj,
with a link request.

Or simply enter a new item in Agora and it will get the
widest possible exposure.

(This item probably wouldn't belong in the just plain 'music' conf: I looked
at it the other day and it said it was for discussions of all music except
Western classical music, which is what I think this item's leaning towards.)

You think you could stop the ensemble from breaking into some pop music
sometimes?

I told my daughter, who plays flute, of this discussion, and she reacted
with enthusiastic interest. She has been in the Pioneer Varsity band for
two years (six years total flute), but did not get transferred to the
Concert or Symphony bands, and did not want more of the same Varsity level.

It would be very nice to have your daughter in such a group, Rane. I've
played in ensembles where the ages were all over the map and it's a
special experience for all involved. Especially when the expertise often
falls to the younger players.
