Matthew Lipman & Andrew Armstrong | Paganini "La Campanella"

[@1976DSCH]

Arrived here after watching Matthew's brief Stamitz masterclass on tonebass! While it was a short clip, it completely changed my view of the concerto! I look forward to following Matthew's artistic journey!

Smiling doesnt help, you know…..great websites dont help either…one has to also play well…somehow…. Splendid technique says Chicago tribune…. Just record his scales and reproduce them slowly, you will hear what he is really playing….

Thanks for visiting my website :)

If your way of listening to music is by recording and reproducing it slowly, my friend Leonardo, you might be missing the whole point of listening to music. To quote a mutual acquaintance of ours: "to play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable."

@@dldhsdb1945 and that has NOTHING to do with visual effects. But NOTHING.

[@dldhsdb1945]

@@leonardoiglesias2394 Ok, so we are shifting to visual effects. So what does visual effect constitute for you? To what extent an artist should/shouldn't use it in 2024? Smiling on stage? Having a good website for bookings and promotion? Do you believe an artist cease to become an "artist" when one portrays such visuals?

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

@@dldhsdb1945 no. The visual show is used for ignorant audiences. Just that. Its a fake. Instrumentalists think: if I play a passage out of tune but I smile at the same time the audience would have the impression that I am playing great. The visual has nothing to do with music. Otherwise Glenn Gould would have never stopped playing for people wanting to see him.
