Ask Augustin 55 - When to Go Off-Score

[@ViolinHobby]

The king of violin 🎻 is setting us free...

[@zylcn]

Hadelich is really a violin master

[@juandiegoa.c1742]

It's like living in the same era as Beethoven or Mozart, Hadelich will be remembered in many years, just like those masters, you are great Hadelich.

I cannot play violin. But I watch Ask Augustine because I simply adore this man❤️😍 Recently saw your Atlanta performance! It was thrilling. Thank you Augustin!

[@gth042]

This series heightens my ability to appreciate music, and I am thankful for your generous gift. I have never played, nor likely will ever be able to play, a musical instrument. I know I fully understand but a tiny fraction of what you cover. But, you make topics clear enough for me to read further and think through -- even if it's just to understand what you meant by a statement. Your on-the-spot demonstration and elaborations open a little mouse door for me, through which I can point an eye into this fascinating world of your music. Thank you, Sir.

[@micaelabonetti949]

Cannot wait to listen to you for the first time live next summer in Verbier, dear Augustin !

[@tullochgorum6323]

Augustin - what a valuable channel! Please consider an episode on your left hand setup. Your action seems to be particularly quiet and organised, so it would be very interesting to hear your advice on how to develop this.

[@MishaSkripach]

YOU ARE AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR PLAYING!!!!!!!

[@alhfgsp]

I can't get enough of Ask Augustin! These insights are very helpful. Sometimes my teacher will have me use a certain bowing or fingering different from what's written to help me with some kind of technique that I need to improve. Thank you!

[@elrepertoriodejuan1757]

For me you are the equivalent on the violin, How Lionel Messi in soccer,Including the same personality traits, both are the best in their profession, both are modest, and friendly, I can't wait for the" ask augustin 56", a big hug!

[@aldencrispin1086]

I love this series so much! Always so insightful, and explained so well!

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Thank you for sharing these episodes! They're like mini-masterclasses (though not by any means minimal!).💖Love them so much! Plus, it's just brilliant to closely watch your fingering and technique.

[@jimmierustler5607]

One of your best videos, very insightful

[@ashleyrego3115]

Thank you Augustin. It was lovely to see hear and see you in the Musikverein 2 days back. So glad I got to meet you and thank you for continuing with your Ask Augustin series.

[@hassanh4512]

Nice balanced insights, makes a lot of sense. Great advice!

[@alejandroormeno5009]

Thank you very much Master Augustin for these master classes that you share with us! Your videos are very instructive and inspiring at the same time. A big hug for you from Lima - Peru

[@Humbersox]

these are favourites for me to hear

[@judywild3551]

Thank you for sharing these thoughtful insights!

[@annamyshkina81]

Happy birthday, dear violin teacher and funny guy ☀️ Wish you: innere wisdom metamorfize in heart inspiration. Be happy all the time🌹 Sorry about my English 🙆🙆🙆

[@leviwoodall8472]

Such an interesting, informative video. Really looking forward to seeing you in Atlanta soon!

[@koopalovetoast2409]

Yay a new Ask Augustin

[@georgeclement2742]

Hey augustine, thanks so much for your work in this series. I would appreciate it a lot if you did a video on how to achieve really fast and clean speed. I'd love it if you would dive into how to tackle sustained fast passages like those in mendhelson mvmt 3 and paginini caprice 5. Thank you so much!!

[@hi-ew2ox]

hi augustin can you do a video on how to play two voices with their own phrasing, like you did for your arrangement of por una cabeza/1st movement of sibelius?

[@violintegral]

Augustin, what do you think of Auer's changes to the Tchaikovsky concerto? It seems that making any cuts it is out of question today, but I'm wondering specifically about the non-cut changes he made to it. Personally I don't mind them, and I think they suit the instrument very well. Of course it's not what Tchaikovsky originally wrote, but I think the modern obsession with "musical authenticity" is really getting out of hand. With it comes a certain uniformity of interpretation, which is a problem that is becoming increasingly more prevalent in today's classical music scene. The Tchaikovsky is a great concerto, but it is played so often (I think, too often) and most violinists today tend to play it in a similar manner, so I'd love to be surprised by someone playing another version (maybe even another cadenza?? Ysaÿe wrote one for the Tchaikovsky!)

تحياتي وسلامي للأستاذ محبك من بغداد

[@gribmuse5686]

Thank you for sharing your invaluable experience! ♥

[@mscir]

I would like to hear you play Chaconne the way you feel Bach felt it.

[@tttenebre]

he's playing it on his solo recitals right now! also there's his recorded version on his album with all the sonatas and partitas for solo violin by bach

[@Ciaccona255]

Also there is a video of him on KZbin playing Chaconne live in NYC. I'm going to try to send a link unless KZbin removes it.

[@kokovox]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@claudioferilli4938]

Good morning Great Augustine . YOU are Always more Great. I know that today you have concert in Perugia. This Is really wonderful notice . But I am very sad because I cannot come to Hear you . Excuse me, I live in South of Perugia, only 20 km , but I have some problem . In my very small town, Cerqueto di Marsciano, only 20 km from Perugia, we have very small nice church, with Splendid old organ and Great acoustic. Excuse me, I have a Crazy dream to see you play here . Thank you so much anyway

[@peterbaxter8151]

Hi Augustine. I listen to your ask Augustine all the time. I have a question. When you play your left hand is free from the neck of the violin much of the time. Could you discuss how you do this without losing where you are on the violin. I’m particularly interested because I find it’s a cramped space when playing F natural and trying to get a free vibrato.

[@AugustinHadelichViolin]

Yes, i try not to touch the neck with my first finger. I move my elbow forward in order to get this angle. The fingers themselves, and the thumb, are the reference point that tell me where i am. It has advantages and disadvantages, so i couldn’t say if it’s right for you.

[@gabrieldemarchisaxerudito6440]

The best!!!!

[@plebman7983]

Hey Augustine! Could you please do an episode just on the simple 3 octave scale? Particularly keys above D Major? Just would love to know your thoughts and process on working on intonation, especially on the way down... would much be appreciated!

[@Anastasiaviolinistparis]

Thank you so much , make more video of master class . Maybe this possible take lesson from you ? 😻

[@zens365daysofviolinpractic2]

Hi Augustine, I was wondering how I should practice your rendition of Por Una Cabeza? I asked my violin teacher and even she didn’t know how to 😅 Thanks!

[@francescomontefiori7064]

Grande.

[@LoisFox131]

I’m pretty sure the violin is an extension of Maestro Hadelich.

[@powerguido5625]

Hadelich I bet you can't play Pietro locatelli caprice n. 21

[@ccmpianossam]

❤❤❤👍👍👍
