Emily's recital! L'abeille, "The Bee," by Francois Schubert

[Kareemosh]

the tempo of this piece of music not fit to the original honestly ,,,, but you are a good violinist

On parle plus d'un gros bourdon que d'une abeille ^^

[MrWiniford]

I like it, nice and slow but done to perfection. It works great

@246trinitrotoluene Honestly we can sit here and argue the semantics and menutiae of the bow hold until we are hoarse. I will end with this...I am a professional concert musician and I see, and have seen people of considerable skill, who hold the bow just like our lady above. It doesn't matter. As long a a technique is functional, one can practice their way to the highest echelons of music making.

[246trinitrotoluene]

this piece should be played without music.

if you still need to be reading music, you'll play it too slowly (just like in the video)

probably needed a month more of practice

Bravo ! Très joli morceau, très bien interprété ! :-)

[ColinMeloy91]

AMAZING!

your pinky finger should be bent, your bow grip will improve a lot if you do that

[246trinitrotoluene]

i agree with this guy.

straight pinkies completely lock your hand and stop you from full bow control and prevent you from doing harder techniques

@246trinitrotoluene I call bullshit on the strait pinkys. Heifetz had a straight pinky on the right hand. Was he wrong?

[246trinitrotoluene]

@violatione you're comparing a maestro to a beginner.

heifetz used all manners of bowing as do many. i sometimes play long stretches of notes without my pinky altogether if I am doing a sautille.

fact of the matter is, straight pinky encourages tension and locking of the hand/wrist, when in reality, straight pinky requires for flexible wrist if you're going to pull it off.

bent pinky encourages the use of the fingers... these are beginners guidelines, so think before trying to post a comment

@246trinitrotoluene I'm just saying that the bowgrip doesn't matter as much as we like to think that it does. Watch your ten favorite violinists of all time and you will see ten different bowgrips. The reason why I compared this lady to Heifetz is to show that the straight pinky is not an inpediment to good technique.
