Hungarian No. 5 scans please?

Hello friends! 
I know, I know...there haven't been any new posts in a while, but on the offchance any of you do, could someone scan me a copy of Hungarian No. 5? I lent my copy to someone but never got it back, unfortunately...it's a piece I really like so I would appreciate it.
Thanks, and keep up the viola power, d00ds! :)

Result of Practice Session #[insert number here]

Hello for the quite long standby from posting of things. Honestly, with the work I was having, I did not have the time to do posting. PLUS! I was sick for quite some time. But that's all in the past now! :D
Yes! The group (which does not include me for half the time, Ruby and S.Y.) had a practice session. the reason why I came halfway of the session was because of my test, which I can proudly say I failed in. When Anna left to do stuff, Rina and I continued practicing. THEN BAM! I had a brilliant idea. I went to the music room and took (with permission) Mr. I's METRONOME!!! :O

Yes. So for the remainder of the time, we had fun trying to keep the beat while keeping the right intonation. Because of the Super Metronome (S.M.), we were able to do D in Waltzer.


Anyhoo... We STILL NEED COOPERATION FROM SOME PEOPLE. not pointing fingers at anyone (R and SY), but as they say; the more, the merrier!

P.S.
Blah.

Yello!

This may come a little late for most of you, but Rina and I decided that tomorrow is a good day for a group practice. Location is still undecided, but we'll figure something out. There's always the changing room.

I think we will be basically reviewing all the pieces for the concert this Friday (yippeeday!).

We'll talk to you in class tomorrow about it anyway (: See you then.

Copies of scores

Hey guys!

Very glad to see that our Bach Double Concerto is now much, much better (although I apologize for always making mistakes, shameful of me I know) and hoping this streak will last until the concert.

Anna, I need a huge favour from you. I'm holding off the breaking of the lock until Monday in case Jeff comes back with my keys, so until then, could you scan Walzer and Double Concerto for me and post it here? It would be a great help so that I can fix up my Walzer timings and some things I need to fix for Bach's Double Concerto. I'd be really grateful if you did.

Thanks, and have a great weekend. Don't forget to practice! :)

My keys...

Yes, folks, you read that right. Jeff, remember how I handed over my locker key to you last Friday, along with my house key?

Well, I need it back. Seriously. It's embarrassing to be a section leader and use a school-owned viola. Need to set a better example, yanno?

GIVE ME MY KEYS TOMORROW OR YOU"RE DEAD.

How shall I kill thee? Let me count the ways...

Next Practice Session?

We need to plan our practice session. Filipiniana Day is approaching quickly! We do not want to look like fools when we can't do those fast notes Rosas Pandan!

I was thinking Thursday after school, if not then Tuesday. Which do you prefer? Decisions made as quickly as possible are best (: See you then.

Review on Practice Session 2

All right, so as scheduled, the second practice session took place on September 30. We managed to get more practice than the last one, and for the record, Arcee joined this one, so yay! Since we didn't want to get stuck with the tiny practice rooms, in the end we opted for the changing rooms, which thankfully, no one was using at the time.

Key points we worked on were the faster passages in Pirates of the Caribbean, Walzer and Rosas Pandan. Mr. Ibero told us to work on our intonation for Hungarian Dance no. 6, so that's what we'll be working on this week. Hmm...what else? Our spiccatos are at least more synchronized than before, which is good, but we still have a long way to go. At least the concert is in December, although if I remember correctly we have an in-class one this week.

Finally fixed my copy's bowings for Pirates...haha, sorry 'bout that, Anna. If anyone else has something to add, feel free, otherwise, ciao for now!

Any thoughts on the schedule for the third practice session?

P.S. Must work on spiccato for the next scale pass-off! G major sounded okay for the most part, but Arcee, you gotta ask when you're not sure, otherwise you'll continue to have trouble. Just tell us so we can help you!
