Dvorák Playlist by emily and her dvorak obsession

If you couldn’t tell by now, Dvorák is by favorite composer on earth. So I made a playlist for him. Check it out if you don’t yet know his mastery.

my month long orchestra/viola program is coming to a slow but steady end. i have pain in many places. if u think you hurt after playing two hours a day for a one week camp- then try five+ hours for theee weeks and weekends. i’m dying.

also this was a thing that happened

hehe

Hey besties

It’s been a while but I’ll be heading over to a month-long viola program. And I may or may not have just discovered I have an audition legit this weekend- so that’s fun. Anyways, I’ll probably be extremely stressed out and therefore posting more to relieve my pain!

Instagram is a gold mine guys check this out

My new favorite pastime is to listen to viola concertos that I think I can play but then I realize that I most definitely cannot.

side note- should I get a massage/chiropractor??

Hi, do you have trouble sleeping? Do not fear, listen to my playlist

John Williams’ soundtrack for Alan Pakula’s movie “Presumed Innocent”.

Howard Shore’s soundtrack for “The Lord of the Rings”.

Howard Shore’s soundtrack for “The Silence of the Lambs” (Jonathan Demme).

Howard Shore’s soundtrack for “Cop Land”, a movie about police corruption.

He could have used this music for “The Silence of the Lambs”.

If that doesn’t tell you something is rotten in Denmark, nothing will.
