First Violin Concerto

My first public performance of a violin concerto, or rather a double violin concerto. Me, on secondo, together with NTU Strings Orchestra. It also marks the graduating journey in NTUSO. We took about four months to prepare this on a weekly basis. There are many things which I learnt on playing together, for example, style, bow strokes and playing the trills. And my new bow came just in time for my concert!

It was quite nerve-wrecking in the first movement. I didn't know why my hands turned anxious but I was forcing myself to calm down by the second movement. Breathe, breathe, BREATHE!!! And I succeeded in calming myself down. Then it was just enjoyment besides a few scary high notes but I guess they sounded good!

I wished you were there to watch me as promised.

Presenting to you: Antonio Vivaldi - Concerto for Two Violins in A Minor RV 523. Hope you like this!

Paul Goh's Bow

I finally got hold of this bow after waiting for almost one and a half years! What a beauty, isn't she?

The pull is smooth and the bow is light. I bought the gem from e-bay. It is a 8mm round mystic topaz with rainbow green fire.

Still trying to get use to this! Lots of bonding time!
