[@alecrobinson7124]

His playing is so musical that you almost forget how impossibly hard this piece is

[@rudolphmcneill515]

You are so right. Definitely the sign of a GREAT musician.

[@thomascampbell127]

I'm not a violin player but I've looked at the sheet music for this piece and I can say it looked hard.

[@VictorHugo-xn9jz]

I can play it, but I can't find the musicality. His playing is musical indeed.

[@santinoburrough1061]

For real like it’s so nice

[@Poreckylife]

@@VictorHugo-xn9jz is it hard to learn it? Do I need to be advance player in order to try to learn it?

[@fredericchopin6445]

he will play it as encore?

[@TaeThei]

YES PLS!

[@joshfrank1468]

looking forward to it!

[@tylermoore8218]

An encore to his Mendelssohn perhaps?

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

This performance was a revelation. In making the music the top priority over everything else, Hadelich unveils the poetry and rhythmic structure in ways I’ve never heard before. Too many virtuosos use this piece as a vehicle to show off. But Hadelich is more than a mere virtuoso. He’s an artist of the highest caliber. Thank you for sharing this with us!!

[@Jabafish]

I don't think using a lot of 'virtuoso' is always especially for showing off. I think why you shouldn't use to much of that is because it will loose it's clarity and meaning because of using to much technique.

[@alidalouisa4462]

❤❤

[@durban55]

So well said, I completely agree.

[@thierryperrenoud1460]

Absolutely true!!!!!!!

[@JeremyBurnett]

In my VERY amateur opinion, I agree with you. Mr. Hadelich is not “showing off”, but rather melding with the music. The music is the being that is showing off, as it should be.

[@alexv3357]

I'd say this is some next level playing, but that would be like three levels short of where this really is

[@ivyssauro123]

It's just so fluid and effortless, relaxed and artistic, on a piece that is anything BUT any of these things

[@JonKovach]

Such an inspiration having overcome a horrible accident and fighting to keep doing what he loves. Every note is pristine it's amazing.

[@edifyguy]

@Tarık He was badly burned in a house fire when he was 15. That's why he looks unusual.

[@elitashala1200]

What accident

@Mrigank Mookim what comment?

[@segmentsAndCurves]

@@69elchupacabra69 Sorry, but I don't think is the right situation to throw a joke in.

[@Poreckylife]

@@edifyguy its not nice to say he looks "unusual". Imagine you lose an arm or a leg and someone comes to you and say "you look unusual" how would you feel? (I know u didn't mean it in a malice way but it is still hurtful)

[@zeynepy]

6:10 😳 I mean how?? It is so perfectly in tune

[@Poreckylife]

[@kostasmponis1042]

He is so elegant! I am watching him 7-9 years now and he is still impresses me every time! So unique playing style !..and his dynamics....wow....it seems easy but its not..... Last year i played 4th sonata of ysaye for my bachelor degree and I know by personal how hard is ....but Augustine...you are unbelievable beautiful player!

[@Vocela]

Listening to and watching Augustin play is such a visceral experience. The sheer beauty of his technique, his liquid hands and bowing arm - it's riveting. The sound he draws out from his violin... Then there's the actual music - and his interpretation of it! We are very fortunate.

[@megatron8577]

How does he make everything so smooth? This is beyond Ling Ling level...

[@antonsupalov3855]

The bliss of solitude after the marvellous interpretation, no signs of clap, nor applause, but solemn, silent and swiftly wind, in which an undefinable pleasure aroused in my mind, with an everlasting recall of the piece, swirling in my brain.

[@wakingtheworld]

Tbh, I was expecting an applause from neighbouring flats! Maybe they were told not to!

[@hartmutlindemann9735]

He really makes musical sense of No. 6. There are so many performances where one difficulty after the next is overcome, and you never know where in piece you are

[@juliocesarnovaes7584]

Mr. Hadelich Always amazing.

[@user-cu9zk8wq8l]

how could he play this piece so peacefully as if it is nothing difficult! he makes it seem so easy!!! Bravo bravo

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

This powerful clarity in the chords and runs is one of the reasons Hadelich has become a master interpreter for pieces like these

[@jimboli9400]

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish

Amazing... like i cant believe that intonation and skill he has in his hands.. it is pure, as it has to be... lovely

[@TheTucsonJeff]

There are insufficient words to describe the caliber of my enjoyment and appreciation of this spellbinding performance!! Mindblowing technical feats! Unbelievably perfect intonation! Exciting and dramatic interpretation! It's all there, thanks to Augustin Hadelich, the finest violinist and musician of this century!

[@sungminkwon0720]

no one follows Augustin's expression. Already he is perfect,, Maybe he was born for the to play the violin

[@still_esperance]

Those five notes chords 😍 This is absolutely gorgeous, hope I can play it someday

Six note chords.

[@violin-schwerin]

Can't wait for the album!

Here from TwoSet who rate this Ysaye's most difficult piece.... a high 'A' level. You make it look/sound so easy. Violin & violinist stretched to the max. Wowsers. A beautiful energy permeating New York City.

[@chrisingres6221]

Lieber Augustin Hadelich, vielen Dank für deinen Kanal, den ich sehr gern mag und immer wieder besuche. Ich möchte dir auch sagen, wie gelungen und inspirativ ich das Animé finde, dass du in deinem Kanal veröffentlicht haben: Es ist nicht einfach, Charme, Witz und Wärme hineinzutragen in solch eine Animation, vieles wirkt heute kalt und abweisend durch die digitale Erstellung, aber bei dir ist das brillant gelöst, man taucht gleich sofort in die Atmosphäre ein und bleibt dann bis zum letzten Ton gefesselt, - die 17 war jetzt nie eine meiner Lieblingscapricen, ich hatte sie, um ehrlich zu sein, noch nicht einmal mehr im Kopf, aber du bzw. dein gezeichnetes Alter Ego spielen das so gigantisch gut und alles im bewegungsreichen Zusammenspiel mit den Katzen (und ihren unterschiedlichen Charakteren), dass man nur so staunen kann und die Musik danach wesentlich besser versteht. Die ganze Sache ist völlig neuartig, finde ich, ganz singulär! Besonders gut gefällt mir auch dein Video hier mit der Skyline und Ysaye 6, erst dachte ich, dass würde überhaupt nicht zusammengehen können, aber je länger ich zusehe und -höre, umso besser gefällt mir die Kombination von Bild und Ton, es ist eine ganz einartige und eigenwillige Mischung, die etwas in mir auslöst. Nun möchte ich dir alles Gute wünschen, bleib' weiterhin eine Inspirationsquelle für viele Menschen in unterschiedlichsten Kontinenten, best, Chris :)

[@nicolafattorini3841]

Your left look suspended like Kogan but in a completely different way, please make a video where you explain how you deal with playing without a shoulder rest and with that left hand position. It seems more a guitaristic position, it's so elegant but i don't understand how you can play with it. Love your playing, soul and style

[@lourencodenardinbudo686]

I was wondering as well.

[@horizonforevergold]

@@lourencodenardinbudo686 Augustin I believe has a pad under his jacket. Old greats used this aid as well.

[@memorosales1952]

He said in one of his instructional videos that he uses a pad underneath his outer garment. He showed it on camera.

[@wendyshell8679]

I noticed he holds his left hand like a guitarist, too.

[@wendyshell8679]

Nicola Fattorini his dad started him playing up high on the violin, first and moved him downward, later. I’m convinced that’s why his playing posture is this way.

[@zhengyingli]

Came here after watching Hilary Hahn and Twoset discuss the difficulty of this piece. Props to Hadelich for making it look effortless!
