Hi.

And, incidentally, you live in Chicago. We should do duets sometime; it's really not that far between Madison and Chicago.

I cannot express how much I would absolutely adore that. I'm a violist in search of a quartet, as well- or a trio, or whatever. I -love- chamber music.

I love ensemble playing/singing. I don't know if I'd be quite up to your level with my violin playing.... I started in March of last year. I'm finishing up (I hope) the double-stop hell Seitz piece in Suzuki 4 at the moment. I'm learning how to shift and how to vibrate. My intonation's not the greatest still, but it's improving steadily. One of the bad things about having perfect pitch is learning the violin and knowing the pitch is wrong but not always being able to convince the muscles they need to relearn. But if we could find another violin and a cello, I'd love to do some quartets!

There's all sorts of cool shit we could do, though. For instance, last night I was playing with someone out of this gypsy violin book, and it really rocked. There are plenty of quartets that I'm sure you could do at that level, and it looks like you're learning fast enough that you could pick up plenty of others. Also, I love singing- although I'm swapped with you on the string instrument/singing bit, where I'm definitely stronger in viola/violin. Either way, I'm dying to make music on a more regular basis.

I used to torment my friends in college with perfect pitch basically by tuning in front of them constantly.... playing the open fifths, and turning one string up and down. It was mean, I know, but kinda funny.
