RE: Curating Music History: Sonata Representativa (aka The Animal Sonata by Biber)
sir bengy! how interesting, I had no idea that significantly different sounds could be made by a violin. And you are able to make animal sounds yourself just by experimenting? lol. It sounds like fun but maybe it's not, you'd have to be able to duplicate them once you discovered how. very interesting and educational post bengy!
Yes, the animal sounds are really great fun to try and emulate. It requires a lot of imagination, experimentation and then the daring to do it in public! It is not what you would consider "beautiful" sounds, and so many musicians do not go anywhere near far enough to sound like animals! If I may say so myself, I've got a pretty mean FROG worked out!
hahaha! sir bengy! you can make a violin sound like a frog now? lol. and how long did it take you to perfect that sound?
It took an afternoon of listening and experimenting to figure it out. But once you have the trick it's there forever!
sir bengy! and what do you do with those newly crafted skills? Will you be playing a solo of animal sounds in a concert? lol.
Ha ha, it all goes into the toolkit!
