Violin Position (Pinchas Zukerman)

[@davidmedine6681]

Glad I stumbled upon this -- so good to see my old friend Daniel Khalikov! It brings back fond memories.

[@cigarnationwarriors3981]

I find that keeping shoulders down and the fiddle up increases my comfort zone immensely 🎻👍👍

[@scottyjaw4591]

It's all about catching and releasing. That's the golden law of bowing technique

Great teacher❗️

[@shawnchristopherwhite3271]

I love Catch! I love Release too! The sound you make when you Catch and then release can be incredible - On chords it is magestic! You never have to worry about sound production at the very contact points when you catch and release - the sound just grows out and builds up. You can do it pianissimo or even fortissimo. The alternative is just 'bowing' and making sounds by accident which don't help build up the musical structure and your musical intentions.

80% of the violin is the bow my friend. catch

[@carlospr1772]

I think 90% is the mind ,8% bow and 2% left hand haha

[@egon4593]

@@carlospr1772 I did some calculation, and I found: it's exactly 87.73 % mind, 9.94 % bow and 2.32 % left hand.

upload more videos please

[@122chucknorris]

Hahaha the poor guy prepared the Tchaikovsky concerto and got a lesson on posture

[@c0mpuipf]

this is really amazing, how much work they have to put in, just for 3 notes but I think its the most useful video if you want to practice Tchaivkovsky's violin concerto mvt 3 . Does anyone know any more videos like this? Especially on tchaikovsky and sibelius?

[@retrops4261]

Mendelssohn 3rd mvt too, and Vieutemps 5 and Lalo Symphony Espagnole...the list never ends!! :)

[@filipbronola536]

Wow, wish i could get lessons from him :D

[@egon4593]

Amazing painting showing Khrushtchev with violin.

[@MuzycznaAgencjaKoncertowa]

May I have lesson with Maestro by videoconference too...? Please.... !!! :)

[@espaguesa7658]

Pinch Release lol...The thing is, Pinchas is pinching from the string while the student is bouncing from the air.

[@2BitMusician]

Ye but Tchaikovsky is very technical and its a waste if he cannot play with correct posture this is pretty common to happy with masterclasses and such... he is probably disappointed but in the end he'll be thanking Mr Zukerman :P

[@bourbakis]

The student's posture is wrong, his head position is very fwd leaning, he has bad habit for a long time therefore his neck has developed an awkward support system as the default. IMO, Zuckerman's effort in correcting him is treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Even if the student adopts the correction, his muscular memory will bring right back to the original position, like in the prev video the same pupil couldn't extend his right arm, no matter how many times Zuckerman says "out"

[@augztovq]

What would you do to correct that problem?

[@3017able1]

I love the guy but he as an unhealthy obsession with the word catch

[@jorgevallin8348]

Pinchas Zukerman is AWESOME MAESTRO...

[@Francescomedardo]

catch

[@berrytale]

Catch

[@renopid]

Nice, science considering hair is a kind of string too.

[@rockhard2654]

that guys a great teacher, hes cool

[@kiet1598]

rockhard ofcourse, he’s Pinchas Zukerman!

[@9leealanwenhon]

This kid is so disrespectful. I saw him talk back to the Maestro and say he felt uncomfortable focusing on bow arm and posture. He has no patience when it comes to practicing.

[@chrollo-want-hisoka]

racist out

[@Ww-ds9bk]

🤡

[@frankwalker5040]

Next we'll have to edit everything we say, soon, because whatever you say, there will always be some clown who'll take offence.

[@DankChallenger]

Wow this absolute worthless piece of human garbage went out of his way to comment on a 10 year old video? Wow you need to get a life dude

[@RK-do8ug]

I play classical music and deeply appreciate musicians but have zero respect for such disgraceful and racist ones. Zukerman must stop making culturally insensitive and ignorant remarks to young musicians who are Asian or Asian descendants.
