How To Do Vibrato [X]

[imslp-review-blog]

Hey guys, I was talking to my friend who was less educated on classical music and realized there was no way for people to find amazing pieces without sifting through all the cliche things they’ve heard in movies and all that. So this blog will basically be me giving little descriptions of lesser known pieces that more people should know, and will serve as a way for people to educate themselves on classical music. You can submit pieces through asks, just please make sure it’s on imslp or include a link to a score. I will occasionally do some more well known pieces, because they’re important to know about too. Happy listening!
