Violinist's help needed, please

Hello everyone!

I transcribed the manic violin solo from 'Wing Stock', Kuchiki Rukia's theme from Bleach... but I'm not a violinist myself, so I'm not sure if it's playable the way I transcribed it

So could someone give it a look? Is it:

- playable?
- playable only if you're really, really good?
- utterly impossible?

Thanks in advance

*Edit* Hmm, we can't attach files here? I was going to attach the PDF... oh well, it's on my site if anyone's interested

ZOMG! Rukia theme, MINE! *yoink* I'll have a look at it

Edit: Alrighty - The double stopping is okay as the D can be played on open string and the upper note on A string in 2nd or 3rd position - in fact, I don't think there will be a huge amount of trouble playing it as the whole piece can be done pretty much in 2nd/3rd position from my imaginary fingerings (not wholey accurate but it's 9pm here so I can't get my violin out

) - though you would need to be pretty nimble with the fingers to get it up to speed it doesn't pose any problems that I can see

It's under 'Bleach', just scroll down

WAY too fast. snare rolls are probably slower than this. this sounds like it should be done on a synth or something.

try 100 for a more reasonable tempo. at 135, those string crossings are simply impossible.

Too fast?

I transcribed it exactly the way I heard it, speed and all

Sounded like a real (electric) violin to me, too

Played by a master violinist

It's fine to play at a slow speed but going up to speed just wouldn't be possible unless you were like Grade 8 or Diploma level

I'd look at it but I can't find it on your site...

I can assure you that this song is quite playable, especially with special care taken to using third/fifth position when and where necessary.

Good job.
