Bruch Concerto - RAW Practice Session

[@ggccdde3743]

your playing gave me a revelation: I should practice SMILING while practicing. Which I have not yet considered before. thanks.

[@me.maxxinn]

Oh my gosh! I was so not in the mood to practice today... but seeing your practice video mades me motivation to practice my piece! Thank you!!

[@NigeHaines]

I really enjoy seeing the secrets of the practice session of an artist. I don't know any other artist that is as open, brave and generous in this respect. It must be very educational, useful and enlightening to other violinists who follow you. Brilliant!

[@creedstump0662]

there are videos of violin greats practicing. it’s just that they’re really in tune so their practice sessions are basically them working on the musicality.

[@biotester]

I'll try the first page, this vidoe is really inspiring, I learnt A LOT.

[@yishay6194]

I used to play this concerto alot till my violin fret got loose

[@fm00092]

I really appreciate that you add the sheet music into the video.

[@vocalchords3609]

Game-changer - putting the score you are following, interpreting - brilliant!!!!!!!! Thank you!

[@johannesbachlein149]

Very nice video, thank you for sharing! If you see a pro playing on stage, it looks all so easy that noone can imagine what insane hard work has been invested to make it sound like this... memorizing a whole concert without running into the wrong direction later is also some kind of magic. I'm happy when I was able to memorize a few lines.

[@superhunk1989]

Your practice session is like a mini-concert.

[@Zxouf873]

Your face looks like mine when I practice..but not the same excellence.. Thanks for sharing you're great, I love how you don't skip over your mistakes ❤️❤️❤️

[@sarabande6670]

Thank you for sharing your practice session with us. I am practicing this concert and seeing how you practice has been so helpful!

[@kylesummer4902]

really loving the raw practice part! it's helping me with my practice too! Thank you Esther! Hoping there are more raw practice series!

[@sanator5369]

Always a pleasure to see you practice! Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment with us!

[@kunegundablenda5977]

I also play this concerto now and it’s so great that you showed us how you practice it! I got some really nice tips from the video ❤️

[@mitchmatthews6713]

As always, your playing flows like a country stream. You know exactly how to set a mood with your bow crossing the strings. Je t'adore, Mademoiselle Esther! You will be more successful than you can even fathom now.

[@fredericippolito9071]

Le travail, la recherche de la perfection. J'adore.

[@creanlis]

These are so immensely helpful! Thank you for opening up your practice for us.

[@BukeyBoy]

I don't understand why anyone would dislike this - what did they think they were clicking on? This is precisely the video I wanted to watch! Thank you for sharing. My starting point is a lil different from yours but your practice techniques are still very helpful

[@creedstump0662]

pretty sure there are bots that automatically dislike videos. there are vids of cancer survivors with dislikes

[@biancaspaziani5114]

Oh my God! I’m studying this piece! Thank you Ester! 😍😍

Just beautiful 👍big kiss from France 🇫🇷

you are killing it! I have to finish watching this later but I will when I get back ... пока

[@thatviolingirl9879]

I'm playing this piece for my Uni application this June so this video really is motivating :D

[@pandaawings402]

I really want a violin for my birthday i suddendly really became interested into violin lately. 🎻😯

[@annewick3287]

Right on!! Those double stops and octaves are tough. You have me idea on how to work on position and intonation both. Thank you my dear 😊👍 by the way your tone is insane and so is your vibrato.

[@ghlscitel6714]

You have a good violin!

[@wendpitroipa321]

THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!! I’m playing this for my senior recital. YOURE AMAZING!!!!😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[@duggiefresh8170]

This has really helped me. Thank you Esther!

[@jacktrainer4387]

I haven't played in ages and just started again. You have no idea how wonderfully helpful this video was! Thanks for posting!

[@Sophie-bz1ev]

You don't need many words to learn how to practise a peace! Thank you!

[@YovaRodz]

Love you u beautiful angel Esther Abrami! ❤

[@mch12311969]

One of my favorite pieces. Thank you for posting another practice video.

[@josej.leotepaixao6983]

Its always a joy to see you practice Im an adult begginer in viola and altough Im progressing at a good pace seeing you practice and repeating passages so many times really brings up to me that even pros practice like I try to practice everyday and that you need too work to progress and not allows frustration to set in. Thanks for motivating me Esther. =D

[@deperonnet]

Merci Esther pour vos démonstrations d’apprentissage et « dissection » d’une partition: c’est une véritable leçon de musique! En espérant que très bientôt les salles d’orchestre se rempliront, à nouveau, avec les virtuoses douées et travailleurs.

[@bethbethbeth863]

This is really helpful cos I’m working on this for my summer recital and have been feeling a bit demotivated with it. Thank u! The string crossing runs are so frustrating to make them sound fluent 😭

[@elmundodelamusicaescolar3834]

La manera de practicar de Ud. es la que deberíamos hacer, es muy pedagógica , es excelente , me hubiera gustado haber visto el video hace 55 años atrás y haber aprendido como se debe estudiar para tocar una melodía , concierto etc , gracias por compartir. seria esencial visualizar el dedaje , para aprovecharlo. Gracias de todas maneras

[@trade_design23]

I always wonder if professional violinist / soloist continue with lessons from someone after graduating from Juilliard / Royal School of Music or wherever with a Bachelors or Masters degree. Are they completely on their own to learn new music and prepare for new performances where the stakes are so high to not screw up AT ALL !! ? Seems like an immense amount of pressure to me. NO ONE knows everything or is completely prepared after graduation from any school. Would love to have Esther make a video explaining how professional musicians further their expertise after graduation and performing in the 'real world'. I am not dissing her at all, but I would really like to know how they continue to hone their craft. I mean watching these practice sessions is interesting and all, but she is going to be playing that music in front of hundreds of paying people who would not be the least bit understanding of anything less than an epic performance, every time. - No Pressure !! - Does she not have anybody to help her learn this music ??

[@felixhesse4096]

congrats on 100K, you deserve it

[@tylermikkelson3263]

So close to 100k early congrats and may you continue to make inspirational and amazing videos 🥳😇

Fan from Chile 🇨🇱 🤍🖤💜

[@HolinessFellowshipmeeting31]

you’re doing great. just keep practicing those runs, you’re like me. i’m such a profectionist that i gotta listen to my shifts right in tune and bowings too. try doing that passage without vibrato then 2 finger octives, plus try and stand straight when playing. really listen to your shifts, the way you lift and catch the bow and lift it off certain passages too. especially this part i’m listening to now where you’re in b flat a little bit during the first moovement. love the trills, very slowly practice them then do them faster.

[@Nandre41violino]

Parabéns, ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍🎻🎻, I love Max Bruch!!!

[@essexitagermeng5504]

These gems of practice videos with such a great violinist have an immense educational value! They’re extremely inspirational and motivational. Finally, students and laypeople are shown what it takes, the amount of dedication, perfectionism...totally the opposite of the woke culture of results with no effort. Thank you Esther for your generosity and dedication!

You've got amazing intonation.

[@nunuher7930]

I was confused on the fingering especially where the broken chords with interchangeable strings were at. But seeing your fingering helped me have an idea where they should be at least. Thank you!

[@kevinvanhove5834]

that's a beautiful violin, what are you playing on exactly?

[@MrBass4art]

I have question would you consider revising the great french violin teacher nicolas laoureux of the last century method and modernizing it with your own concepts as well?

[@classicalviolinist2325]

Hi Esther, one of my good friends just learned the Bruch Concerto. Just wanted to say Good Luck, and Congratulations from your last video

[@MisterXNewMatrix]

More practise videos!! How do you stay so calm when things dont work out as you want??

[@creedstump0662]

you’re practicing for a reason. that reason is to get better. if things go your way automatically, then what even is the point of practicing.

[@harmonyrose7344]

Excellent! Do you roll throes triple stops or do you play the 3 strings at once? I couldn’t tell

[@zhenyuzhang1024]

I am currently playing this piece. You should aim to play all 3 strings at once by dropping your bow onto the middle string and catching the two other strings. However, you can roll a little to make sure you catch all three strings.

[@harmonyrose7344]

@@zhenyuzhang1024 thank you for the advice! Good luck conquering this piece!!

Very Good Content. I will practice also. You have a new subscriber.

[@JXS63J]

I think you should try to move as little as possible. This will concentrate your thinking on the appropriate muscles needed to produce the most pristine of sounds. It will also insure that your mike placement is never momentarily compromised.

A dream of something far away: like "me and you" - a fairytale, a mystery on a secret trail, in every single word i say, starts like a song, with "you and me", a dead note was your favorite part, (i tried my best to find the key) what well was meant ends like a 💨🙀🫂💔 🥀🤦🤷

Can anyone please tell me Which G i hv to play at the beginning of piece third finger on D string or simply open G string....?????

[@caoimhebrowne7455]

Open G string. By putting a 3rd finger on D and vibrating that finger, the open G string vibrates with it!

[@vedanshvedansh844]

@@caoimhebrowne7455 do you mean double stop? Or first 3rd finger on D string with vibrato then open G string...plzz tell me exactly . I feel lost. ☹😒😭

[@vedanshvedansh844]

And yes, Thanks for reply, Sir.

[@caoimhebrowne7455]

Not a double stop! 1) you put your 3rd finger down on D string as if you were going to play it but you don’t 2) you pull the bow along the open g string while doing vibrato with your 3rd finger on D string By doing vibrato on the octave above the open G while the G is being played, the G string vibrates along in response. In this way, it sounds as though we are doing vibrato on an open string

[@vedanshvedansh844]

@@caoimhebrowne7455 I did it. But, open G string vibrates only because of my hand vibrating and the momentum of my arm transmitted to G string. Is it so? Or i am missing something? Good Sir

I wish…. When you can hear the orchestra playing behind you know that the soloist is good!

[@creedstump0662]

one violin vs a whole orchestra. the orchestra would have to either be really tiny or quiet to not be heard along with the soloist.
