Hilary Hahn • Bach Chaconne PRACTICE (with mute)

[@lucaspiano]

The best violinist performing the best piece ever composed for violin! She has slowed down the tempo a bit and put more feeling on it... so perfect!

[@Emil-Thefrizzywanderer]

I glad that her full version around was 17 minutes every single note is emotionally flourishing

[@pavelopsitos3949]

-si sans mots sonne d'au delá votre Poéme, quelle fragilité tendresse en face du Practice...quel manque, Madame merci

[@Orson2u]

What treat to see this virtuoso violinist give us closeup view - such as navigating those demanding double stops

[@jean-danielmartino9619]

Thank you for this eloquent video.

[@shoppingreviews7755]

A practice session with mistakes (of course because it is practice) but still able to move me into tears! Just magneficient!

[@fiddledotgoth]

A rare privelage to observe a great violinist at work on a masterpiece with "the hood up" so to speak...

[@cascanicoff5763]

Hell, I don't know whether to feel inspired or crushed. Her practice is so... perfect. Just a bit of a hollow sound. I guess it is either the room or the recording. Thanks for sharing

[@grabsmench]

she is using a mute

[@mch12311969]

I always feel inspired when listening her play, I just assume that she is not like us mere mortals.

[@egh66]

It's the mute

[@VincenzoIormetti]

Because She only used about 2 millimetres of bow the entire time, my guess is she’s saving stamina because she had a long day of practice.

[@nickcarroll8565]

@@VincenzoIormettiI bet you are right. I know she’s talked about repetitive motion injuries. Also how tired her arms get after finishing Carmen fantasy.

[@joefagan9335]

This is so beautiful.

[@paolobaroni8986]

The pedal starting at 10:05 is blowing my mind, Bach was a pedal master (think of 6th cello suite). She is quite pretty in playing it

[@deserticus18]

Bogles my mind just imagening what is going on in Hillary's mind while playing-practising this, what emotions, thoughts, memories playing in her brain, just watching her face ,the expressions , her body movement , are worth to see

[@ermahgerd5697]

...kind of astonished to see the metal mute on for really slow practice with a mostly uncommitted bow arm. I really appreciate when great players show that they do this kind of work.

[@bluenote2332]

To the first poster: Man, why be so mean and hurtful? I think this video is amazing and really, I was surprised because she looks like a kid to me! I was going to look up her age because she looks like she's 30 years old and I was sure she was older than that.

[@vaskenkantardshieff]

YOU HEAR! YOU REMAIN SILENT! YOU DREAM! YOU FEEL INSPIRED! HILARY IS PERFORMING!

[@SunilAruldas]

PRACTICING !! AS INSPIRING AS HER PERFORMING !!

[@rebeccamink8156]

It has a strange appeal with the mute on. I don't know how to explain it.

[@ethiart]

+ "When you mute perfection, what will you have"? + "Excellence".

whats with these awful audio artefacts? clipping and glitching. Destroying the performance, screw this

[@alexkuamoo3874]

It’s just a video of her practicing, not a free performance? She’s showing a glimpse into her practice method, which is something I really appreciate.

[@SunilAruldas]

Yes, it shows her practicing,not performing ---- SEE THE TITLE
