[salviharp]

good job! I had to learn this for an youth orchestra audition and it really is extremely difficult!

[WorldLordMaster]

I was trying to determine if the players were students of the Salzedo method or of the Grandjany method. I studied the harp years ago, and there was intense rivalry between the two schools of harp playing, which was a shame because good harpists resulted from both schools.

[flootloops]

It looks like they're resting their right arms on the soundboard, so I would say traditional French technique. They sound fantastic either way. The rivalry is kind of dying out, especially among harpists of my generation. I study Salzedo technique myself, and it has its benefits.

[amiharp]

@flootloops : actually seeing the fingering the harpists are using it looks like Mrs Chalifoux markings. I played this with Salzedo markings and the 2nd harpists is using the markings I have from Mrs Chalifoux.

Not all Salzedo student play with Military elbows, Not even Salzedo.

[flootloops]

@amiharp: I was referring to wrists on the soundboard and the hand position and shape. I don't play with 'military' elbows either. I wouldn't know based on the fingerings, but fingerings and overall technique aren't the same thing. Point is, they are playing a very difficult piece very well, regardless of what method they use. I was just responding to someone else's post based on what I observed.
