XD i really love "Summer" by Joe Hisaishi and im actually arranging it with a lot of help from my friend to play in orchestra next year :) if you dont know it already, i think you'll like it ^^ -from... (you probably dont know my name, so....) that freshman girl with the music scarf who thinks youre awesome :3

Oh, hi! :D

Thank you so much! Ah, yes, I’ve heard of that tune before. It’s quite cute and very moving. c: Unfortunately, I won’t be in HSN anymore to hear the arrangement if Mr. Enz does let you perform… but record it and put it on YouTube or something! I bet it’ll be awesome.

Freshman girl with the music scarf… The piano scarf at the Philly concert? I think I know who you are. ;) (I’m pretty sure I know your name :O)

Alec Baldwin & Lang Lang, honorary doctorates of Manhattan School of Music (May 2012)

[Edit:] For those of you wondering, Baldwin hosts weekly radio broadcasts for The New York Philharmonic (since 2009). As of December 2010, he was elected to NYPhil’s Board of Directors. All in all, he seems rather knowledgeable about classical music. ;)

this is perfect oh my gosh

This way, a string quartet could travel with one case. It’s brilliant.

But then who gets to carry the case?

Anonymous asked: How do you like learning the Bruch concerto? Are you learning all three movements? I hope I can play it someday!

It’s challenging, but I like that there’s room to be as expressive as I want to for this piece. It sounds very passionate and I love it. I’m on the first movement right now and I hope I get to play the next two!

Anonymous asked: Who are your favorite violinists? :)

Hilary Hahn. I love how she plays the Bach partitas and sonatas mostly. I have the recording of it and my dad and I used to listen to it in the car all the time. It’s clean, the notes speak clearly, and everything stays so strong together. I like Sarah Chang as well, but I prefer Hilary. c:

Anonymous asked: So I guess I know you like Eb Major, but then what's your favorite color?

I don’t think I really have a favorite color. I used to think it was like navy blue or dark red or green or gold-yellow, then I thought maybe it changes according to how I feel. I could never really set my mind to liking only one.
