Ask Augustin 41 - Left Hand Pizzicato

[@thunderbolt2681]

Me: This is hard Augustin: It's EZ. Augustin on another piece: This is hard Me: Nope, I'm not gonna even try it

[@fidanguliyeva519]

I have just started watching this video, and may I just say how nice of you it is to share this kind of educational videos! A lot of people who are still learning how to play the violin are left without proper lessons in these tough times, and getting such awesome masterclasses from a world class violinist is truly uplifting! you're amazing, thank you so much!

[@dianal.1279]

Ok, Augustin, I've seen how easy it is... when You do it! 🌻😀 Joke apart, thank you so much for sharing! Your videos are among the top very best things happening on KZbin. I hope one day I can see you perform on a live concert!🌻🌹

[@markiobook8639]

Brilliant. I would agree (Julliard school teacher). Ravel's Zigane is torture. Perhaps one trick for Zigan/Sarasate/Wienawski/Paganini is to put a folded paper under the strings at the nut- black card stock- the strings resting on the paper- thus the string is (reversibly) raised higher from the fingerboard at the nut. Practice- twinkle, twinkle little star all left hand pizz. Start off super slow. Start with 4h finger plucking. Then change around the rhythm. Do Suzuki rhythms, cool syncopated jazz type rhythms, do very strict square metronomic rhythms (similar to Kreutzer Etuden 7)

[@ViolinHobby]

I needed this so badly...this tutelage from Augustin is so helpful and uplifting. Thank you so very much for the tip on Paganini 24 (2nd position!) and on Ravel😃😀

[@Deniscorjon74]

Thanks Augustin. At last I could understand in detail how to make a left hand pizzicato thanks to you !

[@maiteflores7876]

Wonderful Violinist!!! Thank you so much Master Hadelich!!!💖👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@LeaPar4]

This was actually perfect timing, I just started the second mvmt of Prokofiev concerto 1 and had no idea what i was doing XD thanks!

[@luciamarquez7684]

These videos are the best there is on KZbin!!!! Thank you Augustin Haledich!!!! 🎻💫

[@Dalaexperience]

Great. Thanks for sharing, Augustin. Everyday i discover more of your work and i can see you are an amazing musician. Greetings from Peru.

[@annikajohnson5086]

Thank you! This is super helpful. I’ve been playing for about 8 years, or since I was 5, and this technique sounds super cool.

[@annamyshkina81]

Augustin, sincere multumir'. Tu est' un mare profesor in adevarat

[@lolamas3042]

El pizzicato es todo un mundo...complicado pero posible...y en sus manos parece tan fácil y tiene un sonido tan lindo que ya sueño con poder hacerlo algún día! Mil gracias, Sr. Hadelich! 💜💜🎶💜🎻

[@Orca472]

0:34 idk why but it sounded like he was abt to play thunderstruck

[@dehanbadenhorst1398]

It is actually the first few notes of thunderstruck

[@Mal-sg2du]

I'm not there yet but this is really helpful. Thank you!!

[@HappyScalesforDuo]

Thank you so much for the great lesson.

[@flipando]

Could you play Ernst's variations on "The Last Rose of Summer"? It'll be a good example for this pizzicato haha

[@flutepractical9279]

It’s true

[@mahuaay7255]

Love that piece

[@dehanbadenhorst1398]

I hope he does. I'm sure it would be incredible

[@AngelRivera-fp9md]

This is why violin is harder than bass...checkmate! (Twoset gang here)

[@lucaslorentz]

No! Bass is harder because ... it's heavier lmao checkmate bass gang

Amazing video. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Liked and subscribed.

[@mightygruk994]

Oh, that 2nd position in paganini is so helpful, thank you ! About this whole section, are we sure it was intended to be played with a mix of pizz and arco ? When I look at paganini's manuscript, it's just written "pizzicato" (pizicato to be more precise :), yet everyone seems to agree on arco + pizz. Am I missing something ?

[@AugustinHadelichViolin]

exactly- this passage in paganini is originally intended to be all plucked

[@fredericchopin6445]

in most of the score, it’s left hand pizz + arco, but probably it’s originally all pizz

[@nickcarroll8565]

@@AugustinHadelichViolini always wondered why you did what you did! I knew it was NOT an issue of capability or laziness. Thanks so much for the answer!

[@Iglioni]

My favourite part is when you talk about second position!

[@persistentviolinnoob126]

Thanks a lot for these tips Augustin!

[@leonardorojas8353]

Thank you Agustin. I was waiting this video. But i have a problem when i play pizzicato left hand on A, D or G strings; when i play is very dificult don't play an other string and play good sound; when i play A, accidentally play E or when i play D, accidentally play A. Sorry my English. Thank you.

[@bengambino8326]

Thank you for writing down your references for music with pizz in it..

[@onicalcron3752]

First comment yay!! Thank you so much for this series, and this one was especially helpful!! Have a good day! Edit:(recieved a weird glitch where I saw no comments, so I made a mistake) Also do you have any tips for playing difficult odd bowing passages? I am practicing the Khachaturian violin concerto and the third movement passage in the middle is very fast and very awkward to play.

[@leila4393]

U R the best violinist, man

[@cgossye]

perhaps worth to mention to position the fingers more in between the strings than on the strings to make plucking easier

[@jimmierustler5607]

5:55 holy hell

[@steveblake5278]

Could you share some advice on how to adjust one’s playing or violin when traveling from a dry cities to a very humid cities and vice and versa? Thank you!

This shirt color suits you well Mr Hadelich!

[@maddiepilz5711]

I thought so too!

[@Capybara78]

I know it's a cliché question, but what strings do you use ? Is the choice of strings particularly important for LH piz ?

[@luisgoncalves8051]

Muito bom!!

[@g.stefanokonkwo755]

So far I've only played pieces with LH pizz on open strings, albeit sometimes I use it in some improvisations but I have a question, might be stupid but whatever. Do you ever use nails to pluck the string or do you rely solely on the finger itself?

[@aravindmemana]

G.Stefan Okonkwo Fingers itself.Your nails have to endure very high loads if did that way

[@michaelpioch8847]

Hallo und guten tag alle miteinander Lieber herr augustin, wäre es möglich auch mal videos in deutscher sprache zu produzieren bzw zu posten ?!

[@OrbiliusMagister]

His videos reach more views if they are in English language. I am Italian and I second your ideas, but as so many more people understand English rather than German I accept @Augustin Hadelich's choice. The win-win choice would be if he accepted to have his subtitles translated by other people.

[@eriknystrom5839]

Interesting, but unfortunately impossible for me as an amateur violinist.

[@billwalderman3943]

I would put it the other way around: unfortunately impossible for me as an amateur, but fascinating and extraordinarily impressive.
