Scores
My Suzuki teacher friend just asked if I'd be interested in playing with his students later this year. He emailed me scores of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Brandenburg Concerto #3, Beethoven's Symphony #7 (2nd movement), Bach's Violin Concerto in E Major (Continuo part), and Bach's Concerto in D minor (Continuo). Wow, what a challenge! Should I pick up the gauntlet?

Hello! Whenever I clicked on you I got to your April post, so thought you had left this planet! I've now pretty well caught up with you and admire your courage in making the video clips. I am pretty much a closet cellist when practising. Well done!
Duh! Find the beginning of that gauntlet and jump in.
The quiz was right - hot pink is definitely you.
Aaaaah Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi. [*jealous sigh*] A challenge for sure, but what a wonderful opportunity for playing with others and being exposed to some of the very best in classical music.
Take the plunge!
Definitely go for it! What wonderful music.
Feel free to ignore my dissenting opinion, but I would say what my teacher would say: spend most of your time on the basics of learning how to play in the beginning and don't overload yourself with other music. You might want to choose easier-than-normal music for your chamber music experience, rather than more-challenging-than-normal music.
I say this, of course, as someone who almost never turns down an opportunity to play.
OK - I asked some questions and found out that R sent me some of these scores just for "fun". So no need to panic just YET.
