Want some more? I wanna work with you!

Send me some more! I love violin and it is very good. You no doubt heard some of my string arrangements Vicotnik? If not I´ll get some to you somehow.

I have so much respect for masters of such a difficult and versatile instrument.
At Moiraine´s, Luc and I saw and heard an Morrocan? large ensemble playing. The violin of course could play the quarter tones no problem.

Anyhow the level of ear training, muscle memory, co-ordination and musical intuition required is extraordinary and it´s no wonder it has been dominant in classical works for so long. The folk style though requires such dexterity! All the above, on a lot of.... caffeine (was going to say something else but we have children here)

Well done Vic, another Icelander strikes!
