Good afternoon, Nostr ☀️
Hope you’re having a great weekend! Coming at you a little later than usual today. This morning I did some errands, grabbed groceries, picked up a few things at Home Depot… and then sat down to play a bit of Bach.
Somehow I haven’t shared any Bach on here yet, even though he’s been such a big part of my musical life on both violin and viola! Today I picked up the Prélude to the Second Suite in D minor for solo cello (BWV 1008). Violists don’t have any Bach written specifically for their instrument so we’re always stealing both the violin and cello repertoire 👀
You probably know the Prélude from the First Suite in G major (Yo-Yo Ma plays it all the time), but this D minor one is quieter, more introspective. It feels like Bach’s spiritual side. I learned it years ago but had to bring it back for an audition recently, and it was my favorite thing to play on that list.
Here I’m just sharing the first dozen or so measures. I hope you enjoy this bit of Bach for your Saturday afternoon 🎻

Do you think compression is necessary for iPhone videos?

7th note, PART 1:
OK so there was a frenzy of activity on my 6th note at the 11th hour last night! TWO 🐳🐋’s left equally large #fatzaps at the last minute, so shoutout and thank you 🙏 to @nprofile…m4at and @nprofile…tlh6 for that!
Lots of other people jumped in with zaps and reposts so thank you 🙏 to everyone who did! I’m especially grateful to @nprofile…n6yz for her instantly iconic “SPEND YOUR DAMN BITCOIN” quote 😆 so thank you for that haha!!
Lastly, thank you 🙏 to the TWO people who played my little game of dropping zaps and commenting a theme for me to improvise to @nprofile…3xje and @nprofile…8axj! Since my highest zappers didn’t drop a theme AND since it was a tie for highest zap … I’ll do TWO little improvs for both Nic and Cristalina!
First up, here is an improv on Nic’s theme of the Justice League Cartoon Theme Song! See below 👇
Check back tomorrow for PART 2 for Cristalina!

Third post, trying a quick video upload. I’m playing an Irish fiddle tune I like called King of the Fairies… recorded on an iPhone with ocean views 🌊 I set up a wallet for zaps! If you like the video and want to help me test out the wallet, zap away! Super excited to try this out for the first time #plebchain #decentralized #music #introductions
