We played this and I got the solo let’s say the people who play the solos were good and the rest weren’t. But it’s a fantastic piece

This is my favorite piece of music ever! My orchestra was going to play this last year, but we bombed it in the rehearsal. I begged my orchestra director if we could play try it again and they agreed! I just love how loud but mysterious it sounds, especially the pizzicato part!

Magnificent piece. Probably my favorite part is at 3:53 when the two themes start playing as a mysterious and exciting ending, creating just a wonderful feeling when listening I really can’t wait to get my hands on this

So enchanting and mysterious 😍

Actually, nah. You isn't the only one. From the very start, when I first heard this piece, I was having thoughts such as, "This sounds like it's from a movie." to "Is this from a movie?" At my first concert of this school year (I'm a junior), I asked a student sitting next to me, and she said no. Other thoughts were, "Sounds like it has to be in a movie." to "It really has that magic feel." Uh-huh, I so very agree with your comment, 'cuz I feel that same way. But why just those Harry Potter vibes? As I was listening to this, I was getting vibes from The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Narnia, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, etc. But you are quite reasonable.

In our 7th/8th grade orchestra (7th and 8th grade are combined) we're playing this piece and its so hard but it gives off some sort of satisfactory vibes after I finish it. I hate how hard it is though.
