World Class Soloist Augustin Hadelich's Secrets to Practicing | TwoSet Talks | EP. 7

[@hie7326]

NEVER HAVE I PRESSED ANY FASTER, THANK YOU FOR INVITING AUGUSTIN HANDELICH.

[@captainqvic7892]

love just how approachable is Augustin

[@sonian7741]

Sameee😂

[@mighty_dragon4809]

I wonder how they are able to bring famous soloists just like that

[@e2pii213]

@@mighty_dragon4809 Mutual interest in each other's work.

[@annav2722]

EXACTLYYYY SWEETEST GUY EVER ❤❤❤❤❤

[@victoriadorin4569]

To be honest, I have never seen Augustin Hadelich so excited, natural and relaxed in an interview. Thanks TwoSet for asking interesting questions and being respectful and making Augustin feel comfortable.

[@kd3684]

Defintiely this was 'another' Augustine🙂(I have watched, read all the availabe interviews with him.) A talk with James Hehnes is coming. TSV and James are close, so I expect similar tone. Have you seen their 90 min lunch talk with Hillary Han? 'Inside the Mind of Hilary Hahn'

[@mariavidineeva2524]

OMG MY DREAM CAME TRUE😭 Thank you for inviting Hadelich!!

[@procrastipractice]

💡Augustin's pro tip for memorization 💡 Play the violin part from memory with the right hand on the piano. This way, your brain can't access the muscle memory of the left hand and you can check if you really know all the notes of the pieces.

[@procrastipractice]

💡Augustin's pro tip for efficient practice💡Don't repeat a broken passage hoping that it will somehow get better over time. Instead, fix it first and then repeat the corrected passage. This way, the available time can be used to make the correct passage stick. Also, listen very closely to your own playing, even if it's frustrating. Consider different possible causes for your current problem (string crossing? shift? left-right coordination? ...) and keep the changes that improve the passage.

[@Jasper_the_Cat]

@@procrastipractice It's really great advice. Although I play guitar, because there are always about 4-5 different ways of transitioning from one phrase to the next on guitar, even if something isn't a technical problem per se, it's also helpful to experiment with different ways of doing it to balance between the timbre quality as well as smoothness of the transition. For me it's like chess because one movement or choice often has several downstream effects, so you have to work through a puzzle not just in the context of a single phrase but also everything which comes before and after. I'm trying to become much more intentional in my playing - it's a lot of work and takes more time, but I believe it's worth it.

[@LingLingwannabes_]

Two set regular uploads????? With Augustin ????? On the twoset talks ?????? Over 1 hr long video ????? ( Dramatic)Ohhh , ling ling blessed me

[@libertangowu-8117]

lmao😂calm down,bro

[@drako8764]

You could practice your instrument 1h more

[@jinheelim9085]

Hollly shiiiiit never have i imagined seeing Augustin on Twoset!!! And also, can I just say, what a wonderful idea it is to have Eddy and Brett sitting behind desks, unlike on sofas, like the past few episodes? As an OG fan, the talking vids that I've really enjoyed were ones like "talking about our experiene in music uni", "opening up about our mental health", "never have I ever", etc. Having E and B sitting closer (in the past) enabled their non-verbal interaction too or even randomly jumping off of their seats laughing, which added a dynamic to their dialogue. So far I've kept my opinions to myself because I support Twoset no matter what and I watch their stuff on loop anyway, but because I'm so happy for this more OG-style set-up, I thought I'd write a few words. Anyway, thoroughly loved every single moment of this and Hadelich seems like such a down-to-earth guyyyyy

[@Lemon-Mint...prct1c3]

So trueee 😭

[@10393DesignHub]

100% agree with this. Having a desk or an object of anchor in front of you would put you in a more comfortable zone than having none. Same thing with singers having mic stand although they technically don't need it (personally, I need it =)))))).

[@RealMusicalMunch]

Saw Augustin recently in New Zealand. His Tchaikovsky is so clean and crisp but yet his sound is not pressed and it’s just crazy how he gets his sound.

[@JustFiddler]

kamu sangat beruntung

[@maypling]

i guess i should stop being so surprised about how normal world-class violinists are 😅 so much of his advice was applicable outside classical music as well, super insightful episode!

[@podoke]

love how the conversation seamlessly transitioned into what the current flight points meta is lmao kinda adorable how equally excited augustin was to explain how he's turned flight points into a irl strategy game

[@maypling]

yeah violin>flight points>games seems random but somehow it gave so much insight into who he is and how he works

[@juliejules7780]

It was a waste of time. I'm here to hear about violin

[@Nikoletakari]

OMG! Twoset talks with AUGUSTIN HADELICH?! Let's goo

[@Musique_Splat]

Augustin*

[@procrastipractice]

💡Augustin's pro tip for intonation 💡The left hand tends to return to a relaxed shape with equidistant fingers. If you are out of tune, ask yourself what the hand-shape in the current passage is and if the hand has returned to the more relaxed (but wrong shape). In general, identify and practice the sequence of hand-shapes in a piece and how they morph into each other.

[@janicefrillmann]

When I played the Mendelssohn for Isaac Stern, he told me you will play it differently at each stage in your life from early years to later on in life. Great lesson

[@ElizaSocha]

OMG Twoset and Augustin it's too much happiness at once!

[@pinsk94]

So many amazing violinists around today but for me, Augustin is my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WeilunP]

Twoset Academy's first masterclass from Austin Hadelich!! The connections Brett and Eddy have with all the great soloists are insane!! So proud of these two😭👏👏👏

[@pujiharyanto9996]

Hadelich is one of the few solo violinists who has a distinctive style in every part of his playing. He is very amazing very fluent making his technque more than look like easy to play. He inherit character of someone that deep dive into his things, the real violinist

[@SantaWithaViolin]

Thank you for showing us personal side of Mr. Hadelich. I have always wondered about this after watching his incredible Bach performance last year in Tokyo. Absolutely a legendary violinist and looks like a down to earth true gentleman.

[@kellantoohey5219]

This is so cool- I was playing in the orchestra when Hadelich soloed at the Colorado Music Festival, where he was at the time of this interview. Best Tchaikovsky concerto ever!

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

Wow, such an honor! Wouldn’t it be awesome to have him as your teacher?

[@lizisabellagarciaduran1226]

MY FAVORITE VIOLINIST EVERR ❤

[@Martina_.]

Oh, there are so many violinists that I really admire for their hard work, but I do have a special soft spot for Augustin. Listening to him talking to people is just as enriching as listening to him playing. Many thanks for doing this interview 🙂

[@oxoelfoxo]

so true!

[@LinhChi93]

No wayyy you got Augustin!!

[@kiobe4]

I thought Augustin's closing comment about approaching music and everything in life with a playful attitude was good. As he mentioned earlier in the episode, being too into a piece in an intellectual way and losing the playful attitude, or what is called "beginner's mind" in Zen philosophy, can hinder your experience of it. Playing without tension is always important, and having a mental attitude of playfulness can help reduce mental and physical tension when approaching anything.

[@anniebananie3421]

Eddy, you do a really good job framing conversations and asking questions. That is not an easy skill to develop, but it makes these talks interesting and helps peoples' thoughts to flow. 😊

[@gatesurfer]

Augustin is an awesome guy. He performed out here in Hawaii, where is a tradition for a guest artist to get a flower lei after his performance. He played Beethoven magnificently in the first half of the concert. At the end of the concert, he came out presented a lei to JoAnn Falletta, who is our emeritus conductor.

[@joy1ess]

AUGUSTIN HADELICH !!!!! his Bach is the best of the best !!

[@samli8888]

Still in shock from when I saw Augustin in Melbourne. What a player!

[@MalaNi76]

No one plays the Dvorak concerto as magical and soulful as Augustin. Incredible violinist! Thank you for having him on your podcast. You guys are amazing!

[@JustFiddler]

😊

[@MrEL28]

Augustin is a good violinist and great teacher. Thanks for interviewing him.

[@nancyfiskemusic]

As a clarinetist I still learned about practicing and performing. Thanks! Great show.

[@amxriss]

I wish he’d come back to Houston this year 😢 but I can’t be greedy when the universe had him come on my birthday last year playing my favorite violin concerto ❤

[@chloewu0211]

An hour long podcast? YESSSSS!!!!! I NEED LONGER VIDS FROM TWOSET and Augustin? The dream podcast episode right here

[@konradnagy5394]

I've got forced by my teacher to play in a big concert hall, I wasn't ready so I wasn't greatful about my performance. It was a good choice to talk about this with Hadelich, helped me much.

[@linghsingng4333]

Such a gem that all 3 of them went into analyse or get very nerdy into playing....i really loved it! Also a lot of wise advice in life or in violin playing. Knowing when to say no and do fewer things really well than trying to do a lot of things at the same time

[@AmericaisTheBabylon]

Really excited to hear Augustin talk about bluegrass and country music. I am really enjoying him playing fiddle tunes as encore pieces. Twoset should have a show of top class fiddlers versus classical players and have them try to play each other's music.

[@oxoelfoxo]

ooh, i remember seeing a jazz player react to one of his Americana pieces and iirc he thought it was way too classical

[@linda__4587]

I have never seen Two Set so relaxed. They look great!

[@ElizaSocha]

Wow, TwoSet Talks is geting better and better! Thanks for this super interesting conversation. I love Augustin❤

[@peggysmith-p5u]

Really fun & informative podcast today. Biggest tip to me was to not keep practicing mistakes, correct it & practice the corrections after that! Also I have the bad habit of lifting my 1st finger off the fingerboard unnecessarily...so I must work on that! It was nice to hear Augustin talk, as I've only ever heard him play pieces on KZbin. He is an awesome violinist!

[@oxoelfoxo]

check out his talk with Ray Chen

[@fairdinkum-u4b]

AUGUSTIN HADELICH!! I went to see him play Mendelssohn in Sydney last month and he was amazing!!!! Thanks Brett and Eddy:)))

[@TypincsVideos]

Happy to have Augustin here. :)

[@Avacynangelofhope]

Thank you for the beautful nuanced discussion. Worth going back to again and again.

[@pkmnjss]

Thank you so much for inviting Augustin on! Such a fun interview about so many different topics that really show his wonderful personality. His Mendelssohn performance in Sydney was breath-taking, as in I literally had to remember to breathe because it was so amazing. Please have a livestream game night, it would be so much fun!

[@mikas2934]

Yep was there and I had the same experience with his Mendelssohn. Time flew by because I was so captivated and flabbergasted the whole time!

[@alexcypher3728]

Livestream board night? Hell yeah I’d watch!

[@samo980]

I enjoyed this episode immensely. Thoughtful discussions, varying topics including non-music ones and all of it was very interesting. I especially enjoyed seeing Augustine's personality more and his thoughtful approach to things. I don't even play the violin but learning more about it makes me appreciate & enjoy music that much more. More episodes like this please (and when can we have Augustine back again?? ) 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@secondbreakfast9]

OH MY GOD I WASN’T EXPECTING THIS, THIS IS AWESOME

[@sabrinai]

Just yesterday listened to Hadelich's rendition of Zapateado and was blown away of course! Would love to see him live one day (and twoset too, of course 🥲).

🤩🤩🤩 Thank you for inviting, Augustin! Such an incredible violinist! His sound is so smooth! And there are so many good tips here! 😍 Like not playing too much the same piece, so you don’t get sick of it! Thank you for this interview!!!!

I’m going to see Augustin at the end of September and again in November, and I’m so excited. I see him everytime he’s within 5 hours of me. It’s an absolute wonder every time! I hope I have the chance to meet him one day :D thank you for the wonderful podcast Twoset

[@Phymacss]

Omg hadelich and twoset!

[@jcortese3300]

His comment about saying no if you're not ready reminded me of something that Jeff Dunham (a comedian) said about being scouted by the Tonight Show early in his career, and being told at that time that he wasn't ready yet. He was really down about it but was told by them, "Better five years too late than one day too early." And indeed when he finally got onto the show, he aced it. There's nothing more important than building a reputation as RELIABLE. You need to be known as clutch -- and that means knowing when you aren't ready yet.

[@ZiaElohka]

Great interview, with the special informal, relaxed Twoset touch. I hope you will do many more interviews likes this!
