😲 I don't know anything about violin, but, especially for this to only be an introduction & demonstration, I'm blown away at the skill. How does this have a single dislike... Can't please everyone. I'm hoping there are subsequent parts; I'm hoping to hear ALL of the string articulations.
Just learned to make strokes without sounding scratchy. It’s gonna take me ages just to learn the bow strokes of the violin. Violin is so beautiful and the ability to play violin so beautifully is nothing Sort of miracle and beauty… love how effortless he makes it look

Mr. Silberger. My hope is to quickly find video of your first days as this must also be special. July-17-2023✝️
An arranger's dream toolkit. Thanks
Awesome video! There's one thing I'd like to point out tough as there's quite some confusion around it (here and in other videos on the internet), spiccato and sautillé are DIFFERENT techniques, in spiccato the bow bounces leaving the strings while in sautillé it's just the wood that is bouncing while the hairs remain mostly adherent to the strings, the way of playing them is therefore different, while spiccato is usually played in correspondence of the balance point of the bow to get an optimal sautillé you have to go a bit higher, near the middle of the bow.
You are truly truly a virtuoso. Excellent. Just excellent.
very informative video...thank you! and the young man is incredible!....just wonderful!
Thank you for sharing, in Brazil we seek to perfect and train good violinists ... videos like this inspire us !
Fantastic playing and clear explanation!
Awesome. Can you please identify the violin being played, it has such a beautiful tone. Of course a violin cannot play by itself, congratulations to the excellent violinist!

Absolutely stunning demonstration of all the various techniques on the violin using beloved examples from the repertoire. This video will stand the rest time. Thank you
Most excellent playing and presentation! Thank you!
Loved the whole demo Eric, but I especially like the Kreisler and Chaconne!!! Bravo well done!!
Excellent maestro.
I think that 31 persons who put thumbs down to this video are the worst types of human beings who need to be sent to the lowest depths of hell if ever a thing such existed. This is a fantastic video this guy is brilliant and I look forward to giving him a gift certificate to his most expensive and favorite restaurant.

Nice technique. Very useful video. I have been looking for something I could happily send my students. Thank you for this, Eric.
Simple but full of useful information
thank you , very fantastic and useful , this violinist is really a virtuoso , bravo !
All of the Players on the KZread videos who are demonstrating the different types of bowing techniques, never show the written manuscript, and what these techniques actually LOOK like on the music. For example, if detache is what the composer wanted, is the term written on the music, or is it just assumed that technique without the phrase markings? This information would be helpful for all beginners and students.

wow insane skills
Awesome playing Eric! I’m trying to get all the articulations setup in my string libraries for composing on my DAW’s. I intend to print out my compositions for a live orchestra. I started on piano at 5, and added brass & guitar at a young age, but strings are my passion! And I’m still learning now that I have advanced tools. 😎🎹🎸🎺🎻🎤
So I was watching an anime called Nodame Cantabile and a character said, the concertmaster decides on the bowing. Does that mean that the concertmaster decides on which bow stroke technique is used for specific sections?
@JohnsonString

Hello XeeGen! Yes, the concertmaster decides on bowings. The conductor determines what kind of sound they are looking for, and will usually work with concert master or section leaders to determine which stroke will accomplish this.
This is awesome! I don't play but really appreciate the art and learning what goes in to learning it! Bravo
Thank you for the excellent instructional video.
Thanks for a very helpful video!! Great playing Eric and beautiful tone!!!
Extremely well done. Bravo!
What an awesome player.

There were two pieces used to demonstrate Legato. The 2nd was Bach Chaconne. I would like to know what the 1st one was (an aria from Carmen?).
I love this! Although, it's funny that they wrote that it's for beginners.
Best explanation!
Phenomenal player
Very useful, thank you
Very helpful. But if you would show the symbols assigned to each technique, then that would be marvelous.
Somebody been practicing! Somebody been practicing WAY more than I...!!!
I could hear to your collé all day🤡👌🏼✨️
If you play in An advanced sound room even the Chinese violins may sound better. Thanks for the performance.
とても良いですね♪

Effortlessness is the correct word, it means without tension as most things on violin require. Absolute control as gained by learning how to do a given technique without tension (thus it looks "effortless" to execute it!
Excelente!
Coming here to get an idea of how a stroke of violin bow is supposed to sound like. In chopin Etude op10 no1 the piece is supposed to sound like "strokes of a violin bow". Can I pick any or what ? it's awkward, can someone help ?

I have few questions: 1. Why do you use little finger only at the frog? 2. Do you know any good "collection" of all bow techniques for violin? some book or preferably some online resources like web sites, videos and so on... I would like to have more informations about them and how to "train" them, thanks :)
와 진짜 개오진다.... 잘하는 사람은 진짜 존~~~~~나 잘하는 악기가 바이올린이구나
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had no idea that playing the Violin was so involved (Clarinet player, here).
I can tell right away you use a lot of pressure when you play! Think about your sounding point if that’s the case it will make your violin ring more. And not sound so suffocated.
awesome awesome awesome
It would be great if in a small window you had the notation/s of each different articulation/bowing
Thank you so much for this overview. I once heard somewhere online - most likely on KZread - a distinctive and refreshingly different orchestral arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major where all the strings - Violins and the Cellos - really aggressively "attacked" the beinning of each stroke, and the pizzicatos were also really accentuated. Sadly, I've never been able to find it again. Could such strokes have been Martelé/Collé and is there a name for a more "aggressive" start to a Martelé stroke ? I would love to hear that version again, and perhaps identifying the style could help to track it down. Can anyone suggest similar versions please ?
Ricochet makes me think of flappy bird game.🐦🕊️ Theses techniques are so difficult to master.
Was the Ricochet bowing that you demonstrated part of an actual classical piece or was it more of a warm up technique?? It was super awesome! I would love to learn how to do that! Do Pernambuco bows help with fast bowing like that?
