I've always loved your playing, but I didn´t know you were such a great teacher.Thanks a lot Mr. Harrel! Those are great ideas simply exposed. . Please keep it up !

[@ichiroku]

Rest in Peace, a true master.

[@bbbartolo]

Another reason to enjoy KZbin! A musician I've admired for years, teaching about an instrument that I once tried to play, and in any case taking us behind the scenes. Anything to get closer to the music, hear more, I say! Thanks.

I am so using this video with my students. I've been saying this for the longest time...it's so nice to hear Lynn Harrell say it (as well as my own teachers). And the thumb demo at 5:42 was just wonderful.

[@Felix892]

Thank you so much, Mr. Harrell! Your recording of the Beethoven sonatas with V. Ashkenazy is what made me want to play the cello in the first place. And now, after watching this video last night, I tried both of the hints and my tone is way better and my attacks way cleaner, instantly. Thank you so much!

[@leslieyuen1985]

Thank YOU so much for posting this video by one of the Cello masters! You are Awesome!

[@Purebunny29]

much appreciated Maestro - I am having all of my student's watch your videos!

[@RFconductor]

Wow! What a treat to get to hear Mr. Harrell and learn so much from him on KZbin!!!!

[@adamnguyen1808]

How have I been playing for almost 5 years and I had not ever heard of this, my mind is blown haha

[@IvanLuza]

Oh fantastic! You should come to Vero Beach, Florida! Me and some of my cellist friends from school are HUGE fans of you Mr. Harrell!

[@Violoncellistas]

Mr Harrell thank you so much for those wonderful videos. I do really think that those videos are really something of great significance, because as you mentioned, they contain material which is hardly ever exposed in most of the cello lessons, however, it turns out to be really helpful. Could you please tell me if you're coming for any master classes in Europe as well, in the upcoming future? My internet searching turned out to be a little unsuccessful..

[@cattleman6420012000]

I have so much genuine respect for lynn Harrell.

[@IvanLuza]

OMG THIS S AMAZING THANK YOU! i would die to have a master class with mr. harrell!

[@seanbraendel1217]

Love the artwork on the back wall.

[@relativetall]

this video is so helpful! respect!

[@Mezilesialan]

Thank you. Well done .Very clear and useful.

[@stefanprojek8667]

Mr Harrel did not mention it, but breathing deeply into the tummy is important. If you breathe shallowly, leaning forward will not help. Great video - thank you Ryan Sweeny and Lynn Harrel

[@soprinsky]

hi, I love to listen the cello music , I am a clarinet player and had a degree with it in music, but sometimes I really want to find another instrument to learn to be able to go with the baroque chamber group, am I already old with my 32 age to learn cello ? how far ?

[@boomgungun]

I'm not sure if I quite understand how leaning forward actually puts more weight on the string as suppose to leaning backward, doesn't leaning backward pull more weight into the strings from shoulder, where leaning forward let some weight slip out away from the strings? it's so hard to describe such a complicated issue, had to deal with the angle of bow arm and how the weight transfer from the pivots points like shouders and elbow.

[@ihateuutube]

He was just on the Colbert Report. He tried to get a frequent flyer mile account for his Cello.

[@davidblack9038]

I had one once for my cello! It used to get offers of credit cards in the mail. (True story!)

[@boomgungun]

thank you, that makes sense to me...

[@danielkivivuori3284]

RIP Lynn Harrel

Thanks for the tips

[@catemef6963]

I was just wondering if Eddie sold you his bow. I was formerly Catharine Basson.

[@musikgirl1]

Yes,by this time he had sold the Strad he owned that was Jacqueline du Pre and was renamed the Jacqueline du Pre'.

[@Andele37]

Hy, I am 28 now. In this year (2013) I have buy me a E-Bass, so I am learning fast, do tones with this instrument (it's my first instrument). So my question is: Can I learn play Celo in my age?? This is absolut a amazing instument!

[@GiveSmartly]

Hope you started! Y E S

[@cellocraze]

his cello's a freakin monster. montagnana... *drools*

[@BetterMe981]

Well, Paul Tortellier and Rostropovich had absolutely no trouble playing extremely powerfully seated back at what you described as the weakest point. Also, I've known 3 extremely tiny women who play professionally who are unbelievably powerful players in terms of sheer solid loudness. So, everyone is different and finds their own physical strength in their own positions. I might suggest a strong chair that doesn't wobble and swallow you up... seems to take from your power... but, it's a personal choice ;-)

[@Carltoncellobassist]

Its the Arm weight that changes. and Lynn didnt post this why are you assuming you are talking to him? lol just wondering.

[@Carltoncellobassist]

Why are his pegs strung with a different string than normal?

[@abrahamwu9680]

What strings is he using?

[@JamesBarraletMusic]

Abraham Wu Hard to see but at a guess it's a set of Pirastro Olivs.

[@jesuisravi]

he's a National Treasure

[@as334]

Are you Lynn Harrell?

[@Tokushimaz]

@audiophile71 LMAO XD

[@boomgungun]

I ask why to everything, until I find it absolutely not room for error.

[@rabemama]

When a great cellist speaks, I listen. Though this forward cello hold makes sense, it's not for the reasons you outline. We can see your body changing positions, but the bow, cello angles, and gravity are exactly the same in each of your 3 positions, 4:33. It is impossible that without changing the various angles that the bow's weight via gravity alone would change. What DOES change is the passive leverage of the weight of the arm by leaning. You are cello god but explanations must be proveable
