    Runs are very hard in an audition (especially with the addition of nerves* in live auditions) setting when your fingers are sweating. I find that it's very challenging to have the mental sync between brain and fingers going through a continuous tape to do preliminary rounds. I was told to have perfect intonation is to practice accuracy and precision slowly note by note ... and with lots of patience.

    Thank you for all your videos. I do have a tensed left thumb. I was told that it may be because it sits too close to the scroll. Could that be an explanation? I am asking because I like having my thumb close to the scroll as a counterbalance to my pinky.

    Good morning ( I'm in Italy, now ), for me Ego is very important. In my opinion intonation cant' be perfect, but ewery one has the possibility to decide up to the level of intonation he want to arrive: in a competition, in a public sala or during a meeting inside a party. We have an intonation wen we practice in order to going up the quality. But wen we play in public I prefere think only to the Ego, to my Idea of music in in that moment. Exactely wen we speak. In my opinion, we have the moment in which we think to improve and the momoment in weach we are in performance. In performance I live with the mistake. The music can be also inside the mistake, first of all in performance.

    As a child i had an accident with my left thumb, and the doctor has removed my nail on it. So when i played violin, i had pain on my thumb, because it touched the neck. I have learned, that when i do not touch it to the neck of the violin, it does not hurt and still can play… i did it for half a year. From that moment my left hand is much better.

    I'm still getting used to the captains chair bow hold. The refinement for moving to the tip I'm unsure of. I will need more time to master the refinements. Please keep this posted indefinatly. I'm so greatful for this captains chair technique. It has allowed me to play like my old viola playing profit. I don't know specifically how but I'm playing like Heifetz. Not as timely as Heifetz but I'm getting that Gypsy concerto loftyness and lylt. I'm simply amazed the difference your bow hold has made in the short time I've been practicing it! But as you say, the hamster may get crushed moving past center of bow, and I have not addressed this issue yet. I'm taking it very slow. I've learned more from you Mrs. Keyes than probably the two years I studied in grammer school. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a wonderful day! Your you tube student chris e. In usa!😅

    ❤ l am so happy seizing the opportunity to watch your videos !!! Your approach in violin teaching is extraordinary. I am a professor of violin too for the last 50 years and l knew about the Galamian method from 1975. The Galamian scales & the complementary book with the bow patterns helped me a lot. That year, 1975, in Bulgaria they weren't very famous because of the communism and were given to me by a friend from America. It is a very valuable tool for violinists of all levels.

    Wenn wir eine Klangvorstellung haben, dann werden wir den Klang produzieren können. Später im Orchester ist es wichtig, gesunde Bewegungen zu machen, damit wir auf Dauer keine Schmerzen (in der Schulter zB) kriegen. Es hilft Feldenkrais oder Aleksander Technik.

    Experiencing the properties of articulating in any hall, let alone a concert hall, I would say Mr. Galamian's suggestion is a must for basic understanding of string playing. MIDI is a whole different concept of articulating than the aforementioned concept.

    Correct! However the very essence of articulation (made clear in this great vid) is that no sound, whatever the dynamic-expression- cantabile-niente nature, can begin without a definite begin or "bite". It clarifies a misunderstood myth about "tender" playing

    This is just a made up rule because someone said so. Instead of learning how to play the violin following someone's rules because "that's how you play the instrument", we should understand the affective qualities of any given piece, or passage, feel what the music is communicating, and choose our bow articulation to serve that affect. If the music calls for it, there is nothing wrong producing a note with no hard consonant, or as the lady says, with a "banana sound", a definition I am familiar with because a former teacher of mine (from the same kind of school) would use it as well, and it's nothing more than an insulting way of labeling what in historically informed performance we call "messa di voce", a way of bowing that was loathed by the 20th century school violinists who would instead sustain the tone always the same way and put vibrato on every possible note (continuous vibrato). This is a very old fashioned way of playing string instruments by today's standards, and yes, the messa di voce, aside from being documented in the treatises of multiple masters from the past, can be an expressive, touching, and vocal way to play certain notes.

    Thanks for writing my very thought. In less than 40 seconds into this video, my mind went to Geminiani’s very practical treatise on violin playing and not only a messa di voce that swells in the middle (banana) but messe di voce with varying shapes to express different affects. It’s fine to learn about a prominent teacher’s approach but it always has to be contextualized, as you said.

  • @DanielKurganov
    @DanielKurganov4 күн бұрын

    1. It's a rule made up by one of the greatest pedagogues in history, who trained some rather fine violinists, so I guess you can do with that what you'd like. What most people don't understand until they've done a lot of teaching is that what a student needs to hear is rarely "THE WHOLE TRUTH", in this case being that there are 100000 ways to begin a note, obviously. The right step, at the right time, for the right student. Most students have issues with their sound production and technique, if we judge at a professional level. Many are over-pressing without getting strong results. The art of clarity is doing more with less. What Galamian called the Départ, or what one can call the Ictus -- the clear beginning of a note -- is something that must be learned before any serious talk about color and 10000 ways to start a note occurs. This is the "rule" that Galamian established, and it makes perfect sense. The relationship to the string is very important for students to learn. it must come before the Messa di Voce. 2. The Banana Bow is not the same as a Messa di Voce. The Banana bow is the aesthetically unpleasant and unconscious mannerism that many modern players today exhibit, causing an inability to sustain long sung lines across bow changes, and inability to play legato. Messa di Voce is a very intentional and beautiful effect that is totally different.

Meanwhile, some of the greatest violin playing can be heard today from people with low elbows e.g. Shunske Sato...and the ABSOLUTELY ridiculous method has produced some of the greatest players of this century. Tell P. Zukerman about how Galamian's "Dogmas" are ridiculous. Your [self-defeating] curmudgeonry prevents you from understanding why great pedagogues said what they said, when they said it, and to whom.
