This has been my favourite concert so far this year! I remember when I first heard Brahms&#8217; violin concerto, I was like, it&#8217;s nice.

There is so much more definition when the entire orchestra is in front of you! And so many things I didn&#8217;t know &#8211; I am actually so bad at explaining this but in the third movement, I didn&#8217;t realise there was a bit where the first violins actually don&#8217;t play a few notes that I thought they did! They alternated with another section but I was totally clueless haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other thing about having listened to it only when doing other things was that I had no idea there was a cadenza and I was like, where is this? Am I supposed to know what this part is? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really need to keep listening and studying so that I actually understand what&#8217;s going on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wooow!
