Me playing Bartok's Viola Concerto (Again, but better this time)

This was me playing Bartok's Viola Concerto after winning another local concerto competition. I posted a video of this, but as fdoou noticed, it had my full name AND my school at one point. So I took that down.

Please listen Hope you enjoy!

By the way, the orchestra was kind of sub par, and the piece I played is really challenging ensemble-wise, so take them with a grain of salt

EDIT: Let me give you sone background into the piece, in case anyone is interested, since at first listen it sounds weird. Bartok was Hungarian, so a lot of his music was based on the folk music from that area. This was also the last piece that he wrote before he died slowly from leukemia, so a lot of emotion is conveyed.

Re: Me playing Bartok's Viola Concerto (Again, but better this time)

i listened to the entire concerto and wrote down what I thought

this song brought me to tears

▼Hidden text

the sharp viola in the beginning really brings you to the fact that all potatoes will have to be eaten at some point

then the deep sounds...oh my the deep sounds...it's like....tater satan or something

it's strange, like a 60s cartoon

oh no...

the potatoes are on the train....

it's hard, rumbling tracks, potato spuds everywhere

on the ground, on the windows, oh my....pringles man wouldn't like this

messy tones are beginning

and the climax of the song

it's...

it's...

Sir Patates of Spudalot!

Such a sad tone

i can see him....he is walking around on the train

"Dearest Cheese, why shall the Lord lay thee with thy misery?

Why should the Fried and Lonely suffer these consequences?"

<sad interlude>

<nice messy tones>

he is looking out the window of the train, watching potato farms and hash gardens in the nearby hills of Potted Skin. The sun was shining an eerie gloom over the lands; Mashed Potachydons were flying in and out the gravy clouds. Oh no....who is that in the distance?

It's...

It's...

COLONEL PRINGLES!

He is here to take the potatoes to be made into generic paper-thin potato chips! We shouldn't let that happen!

He moves in closer onto the train with his league of Corporation Horses. This isn't good.

But wait...a lightning bolt strikes! It scares the Corporation Horses away!

Colonel Pringles is stuck in a ruckus!

Is this the end of Colonel Pringles?

OH my...a cliff....

tension builds up with the trumpets....

he is nearing the end.....

nearing...
nearing...
slowing...
slowing....
slow...

s l o w......

until he is met with an unfathomable doom as his horses jump off into the abyss...carrying Colonel Pringles with them....

But alas, the enemy was slain, the battle has been won...!........?

A dark shadow sets upon the land of Taterino.

A soft rain of nacho cheese sprays the terrene with movie butter and toasted tortilla chips.

The train moves onwards.

BUt...!

it nears the sight of a mound of burning potatoes.

The flames smother the windows with smoke and ash.

Sir Patates of Spudalot is disgusted!

He marches off the train with 2 coughs. (hehe)

He disappears into the shadows.

Another shadow follows him...who is this shadow....?

The smoke is too much now...we can't see anyone...but....someone has something sharp...

....

SIR SPUDALOT WATCH OUT!

there was a terrible fight

but someone has gotten hurt...

and we will never know who...

<curtains draw and audience applauses>
