@violinistcindylou Can you please watch my recording of Bruch's Adagio movement and leave a comment under there? I want to know what you think about it! Thank you!

@zucchini2007 I saw that you posted your adagio as well. First of all, I can see much improvement between the two movements! You're intonation was better, but like Cindy said, you did have just a couple bad notes here and there. As a suggestion, when you vibrato, try to just move you're hand, because I could see that sometimes you moved the whole violin instead of just your hand. Maybe that's because of the high thumb in the left hand? not sure. I have the high thumb problem too :P

@theviolinmaster99 Thank you! Your 1st criticism of the 1st movement was absolutely BRUTAL, but it was a shocking wake-up call. Next time I record the 1st movement, I will read the sheet music more carefully. Now I'm working on the 3rd and final movement of Bruch. After that, I want to learn and record Paganini's caprice 24! It's my favorite caprice. But can you please tell me how to play those virtuosic left-hand pizzicatos? Those seem impossible!

@zucchini2007 Yeah...sorry about that haha. I'm just used to that with my teacher :P Definitely. I've played a piece more than 1000 times memorized, but I decided to look back in the music, and I saw something I've never seen before! It definitely helps. I'm playing the 3rd movement of Bruch currently as well. I'm applying to a competition with the Bruch. Paganini 24 is a wonderful caprice! I haven't played it, but I know how to do it. Youtube it, if not I'll make a video about it

I'm sorry but the orchestra was terrible at following you. The conductor was taking a different tempo than you at times. The Conductor is suppose to follow the solo when ever it's concerto!

Beautiful. Thank you Sage. The instrument you are playing sounds nice. Would you describe it? Anyway, keep up the good work.

@Yudhi1950 Thanks so much! My violin is Italian, Joannes Baptista Gabrielli-1760. It was love at first sight! It is the same Gabrielli in the Hamma book.
