The Story of the "Milstein" Exercise

[@dldhsdb1945]

Thank you Julia for this wonderful tribute to my former teacher Robert. I remember well being taught the exercise in Vancouver. Robert surely was a great protege of Milstein!

Mr. Rozek is dearly missed with his knowledge and passion for sharing all he learned over his accomplished career. He greatly influenced my playing.

Dear professor Bushkova. Thank you very much for video. Such a modesty explaining a former video is only possible for great people and great teachers. I hope you can share with us more exercises and their stories and historic backgrounds. When these exercises are related with the great musicians all we admire, they touch our soul much deeper and find a place in our memory for a long time, definitely. 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for this video on the background of the wonderful Milstein exercise! As I now teach it to all my students, this will help to give some context to the exercise. It seems quite transformative!

Thank you so much, Professor Bushkova! I am one of the many students whose problems with the pinky got much better by this exercise. My teacher (having himself a strong fourth finger) was keen to learn the exercise, too - to pass it on as a great help. I love how this knowledge lives on and how we can learn it from you on the other side of the world so easily! ❤

Thank you very much for these stories. Being a mandolinist and taking up the violin, I find the 4th finger very strong. Enjoying your videos and as an "senile citizen" appreciate your concise approach. Regards from Canada - Igor.
