Violin Lesson #55; Springing Arpeggios

Also called Sautille Arpeggios or Saltando, this bowing is a type of ricochet.

11 years ago. You were already the best violin explainer I’ve found on yt

[@oresthopiak8609]

This is sweep picking the violin, cool

[@oresthopiak8609]

Actually, the lesson is really great, I would like to try this technique

[@elizamunday6933]

Life saver for Mendelssohn Violin Concerto - thank you so much 😊

Im glad we are getting help for us who dont have the time or funds to visit a local teacher if infact we have 1 locallly. Finally we are able to get connected to prominent teacher via the Net. I am so greatful that we have all you guys. Thank you Violin Professor.

Why is this such a hard technique for me ? My bow IS made of real wood and not plastic so it should work. I tried a while back (few years) to get the knack of this technique but it has eluded me ! Hopefully with your illuminating video I will finally get it ! Thanks !

[@cadence0dakota19]

after 9 years im finally getting another violin, a Cecilio, and have been watch your video lessons, and remembering what i was taught years ago, brings back memories i thought were long forgotten, thank you for the joy you've brought back in my life.

This is such a great explanation of saltando. I love how you break it down into small elements and then put it back together again. Thanks so much.

[@professorV]

Thank you, Karen

Hey Prof, I have been looking for a video that accurately describes this technique for a while. I can honestly say that yours is by far the most helpful. I have come across other videos that explain this technique, but not in such wonderful detail as this. Thank you so very much! This will come in handy, as I am working on Mendelssohn now.

[@descort1990]

Yesterday i tried it for one hour, today i can do it very often :D fantastic!! I want to thanks your a lot! your way to teach for free on youtube is incredible! Thanks a lot. you give me so many answers through your videos. I play since 6 weeks and u help me a lot!! greetings from austria

[@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

Todd you're simply great :) My teacher of Violin suggested me your videos and I learned a lot :) Thank you for your simple way to explain complex things ;)

[@Rialas]

You have great control/technique Professor Todd.

[@pikachoi2007]

Hi teacher Todd, I will be in San Jose California this coming Sunday. My flight will be tomorrow. Hope to see you in person. I will be there for 6 months doing some work related job. 5 stars here for another great lessons

[@tts80]

Hi professorV, I am working on the Mendelssohn and found your video extremely helpful. But one thing I don't understand is how does one restart the arpeggios. At the end of the set of 8 notes and back onto the G string, should the bow be on the string and we repeat the finger action to get it to bounce? Or the bow should continue to bounce on its own without us having to reintroduce the impulse?

[@TheAquaRover]

holy hell that is impressive

[@Fiddlerpt]

Hallo Todd First things first I'd like to congratulate you on the great teaching videos you have made. I now have a question that is completely un-related with the video in question. I have noticed in your latest videos that you have been using a different chin rest and I'm curious to know what it is? I have a long neck and think a high chin rest like that would be perfect for me. Thanks Regards Carlos

[@camsolo2024]

Thanks I shared this with my student!

[@professorV]

Thanks, Cameron. Best wishes!

[@potaylo]

I have been trying to find out what the technique is called similar to this but not bouncing and on each up bow and down bow the wrist is moving the bow up and down repeatedly accomplishing multiple full sets of the 4 strings being played per bow. I think this is a thing in classical music on the violin but havent found out what it is called if anything. Thanks for the great lessons. sorry if that isn't clear but its the best description I could come up with.

[@SkrPchr3]

@zec2006 Do you hear 8 notes in each cycle? It's very clear. If you can count the 8 notes, then he must have hit that D string. What else could it be? If he didn't hit the D clearly, you'd hear 7 notes.

[@Fiddlerpt]

Thanks Todd! I'll give it a try. Regards, Carlos

[@OnTheVerg1]

I like this video. However, I was looking for "Saltando" bowing that is used in Prince Igor Violin II No. 17 at the Presto. It would help if I could see a demonstration for that.

[@alexismoreno1989]

Hey Prof,,,this is a wonderful video and it really helps me. Could you help me if you explain a little bit more when you are going up bow? what is the sensation? does it need some extra impulse? thank you so much...

[@studentoflife01]

Hello Professor, I am student. I must ask you a question that may, or may not be relevent to your feild. It is what is Creativity?

[@armonici]

any advice if the apreggios begin on the E string, not the G? Like E A D G G D A E E and so on? Should it starts down bow perhaps? Great vid by the way.

[@DeadlyAngel023]

Thank you!!!! You solved my problem

[@handelviola]

Dear Todd, what are your thoughts on the use and not use of shoulder rests? i noticed on some of your video you are using one and some you don't. thanks Si

[@hkviolinteacher]

very good lesson. Thanks Professor:)

[@anllume]

Hi, thanks for the video. I'm just curious, does the saltando works effectively if the passage indicates to start and continue with up bow from high to low strings? Please advice.

[@jaggerjacks8795]

Great demonstration and explanation. XD

[@rubensmarianobrasil439]

100/100 % exelente bravo

[@rghoyos]

Very good lesson, thank you. This looks quite difficult, though ...

[@Amarynthine]

I have an unbalanced bow, its heavier in the upper part, does that affect my playing?

[@ΜιχαήλΜανολέσκου]

Excelent!!!

[@gatoklimt4216]

Hi =), what's the name of that bowed arpeggio technique? without bouncing ( 00:44 )

[@Chiko-sc1gz]

wanna know this too

[@연팡이-g6c]

thank you !!

[@rubensmarianobrasil439]

Brasil muito bom

[@professorV]

Rubens MARIANO BRASIL - thank you very much. Best wishes. Todd

[@Pequenno54]

excelent :)

[@Ereshkigal616]

.....gosh i want a teacher for violin........

[@zec2006]

I find this vdeo usefull, but dear professorV i can not hear your d string when you go down to g string, after repeating e string. I must hear all strings, very accurately.
