Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, Full Dr. Derek Voigt, Piccolo Violin Violin made by William Hurley, Singing Woods Violin Shop, Ithaca, NY. The accompaniment is provided by the software, "Cadenza." The program sometimes had trouble understanding where I was, because of the high pitch, and it couldn't always follow me accurately. I tried to follow it instead, but noticed that the rhythm and timing suffered as a result. I hope to record the whole concerto (all movements) with a pianist and upload the video to YouTube. I'd also like to mention that I created this recording the day after I first tried the instrument, so please forgive the sometimes-poor tone and intonation.
