BOB WILLS ONCE FIRED THIS MAN BECAUSE HE COULD NOT PLAY SAN ANTONE ROSE WHILE JUMPING THROUGH A HOOP BACKWARD, BALANCEING THREE BEER BOTTLES ON HIS BOW, AND HAVING HIS HANDS AND FEET TIED BEHIND HIS BACK - YASCHA SAID THE ONLY REASON HE COULD NOT DO IT, IS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT LIGHT BEERS!
@An0niempje I did not at any point insinuate any crime had been commited. Now..instead of bothering me with silly questions, why don't you grab a camel and make sexy time you bloody cretin.
Not to mention how incredibly efficient his practice techniques were. According to Eric Friedman his student, he was a phenomenal practice machine (not in a negative sense), but in quality work and knew how to squeeze out the absolute maximum output possible from even the smallest bit of input in practicing.
He also had total musical recall and at the age of 5 played a Bach piece on the piano by just hearing it once. At 4 years he would scream if he heard a wrong note....
By the time this video was made (1939), Heifetz estimated that he had spent 66,000 (SIXTY SIX THOUSAND) HOURS playing and practicing the instrument not to mention the amount of thought and study that went into developing his musicality.
Which comes out to an incredible 5 hours and 20 minutes of AVERAGE practice per day since he took up the instrument. He was at this point roughly midway through his career and played the violin till his death for ANOTHER 48 years.
That bowing -- it is so beautiful and such control and such tone even in double stop spicattos and ricochets. That downbow staccato at 1:22 ...beauty.
And the other thing is that vibrato of his -- he has a virtually unlimited range of sound colors. He knew 5 types of vibrato mechanisms and could vary it to any extent.
@ksviewerx Yeah, that Guarneri does remind me of a Ferrari. That G string is just a beast purring to life and its a full throated roar at the E string.
I give you a simple fact about those 15 dislikes, or better to say miss-likes:
Under 400.000 viewers, including 925 YouTube members who are actually able to rate a video... there will always be people among them, who prefer listening to violin techniques in a miscarried way, namely through their asses.
An F1 car engine runs at its peak, but can only do so for a couple of races. But Heifetz threw out superlative performance after performance for over 60 years + , playing like 200 concerts a year at times. What makes artistes like him so great is that they don't just do this once or twice a year, but they keep at it all their lives....
My brain would probably blow before I understood where his absolute peak could have been then...
BTW the analogy is because of the sound of his Guarneri.
I always wonder where Heifetz developed his bow technique. It's so unique and individually Heifetz. So many of the greats had amazing bow technique but there is just something about Heifetz' bow hand position that is absolutely amazing.
The greatest violinist...the passion he shared with us all is so vivid in this all-too-short clip! Thanks for sharing this with those of us who can truly appreciate the talent and dedication to his art...
@Fironine Probably, the ones who dislike it are into trash crap music, or they are getting confused not realizing that the recording quality was that of decades ago.
I'm sure the past had many terrible songs written. Obviously they were forgotten for good reason and I'm sure when radio stations play music in 300 years all the critically acclaimed pop music of our time will be considered classics while the bad music will be forgotten.
@Joe402 But still, classical music is now dead compared from the past.
I was in a youth orchestra that has been around for 50 years- which was known pretty well in the state and somesort in the world. Now its popularity is dying and people rarely even want to audition. School concerts are just parents/ students that NEED to watch. Also, a lot of major orchestras are very rare to find that can compete with orchestras years before them.
That man is a BEAST! He commands his instrument with expertise, but moves his fingers across the strings so gently. Man, we need more people like this.
This man is like Horowitz.Electricity and style.He never scratches.The most perfect bow arm ever.Paganini sounded like scraping cats at night he supposedly made all kinds of gruesome sounds.I imagine being italian he had a gorgeous cantilena. Heifetz was better.I just know it .His business focus .No one was ever like him anywhere on any instrument!
@puppetsmater35 those 15 dislikes, they get to hear it over and over again, that is their hell, those of us who like it get to hear it over and over again, that is our heaven.
Wow, that was like, totally awesome (of course! It's Heifetz...). I never noticed his bow grip before this. I don't think most teachers would approve. Anyone know if that's a particular style, or if its unique to Heifetz?
@purbanegoro I have to disagree.. Menuhin was superb before he got old so was Stern. Accardo may be a Paganini specialist but his sound is not nearly as pure and clean as Shlomo and not nearly as joyful as Perlman. At times, his playing is too rough rather than articulated, but i guess it's personal preference
it seems like the bow is like a arm extention! the arm and the bow seem to be one...and those octaves are simply perfect and the intonation is perfect as well, but at the same time is vibrato is great, and the trillers at 1:29 - 1:40 sound great! :)heifetz~loove him!
lifejuice it isnt that no one else compares its like what is your favourite food of course we are biased but each to their own you like what you like, the best of course natural no issue
Gotta love heifetz. and jaressloo you dont really understand that statement do you? It doesnt really mean that he can play better than god... it means he's basically a god in violin himself

msdrug. The future is a long time! Surely Oistrach is "up there" too. For me, these two were the best. They did also have different styles. Oistrach always seemed more relaxed. There were both Russian too.
How dare you mention Anne fontanella on this video she is a horrible violinist and actually at 20 years old I would expect better, so don't bother to brag about her age! She has a TON of work ahead of her if she has any desire to be a descent violinist in this world!!

I can't stand most fans of any musician because they will never accept the fact that any one is as good as their god.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah, "He" can do anything he wants with that bowhand. It just looks annoying. I don't know anyone else who plays like that...unless u can recommend me someone...
Lol? What do you propose? The Franco-Belgian hold?
Sorry, but Auer didn't teach that. Nor did he teach the Russian hold. He taught with a sense of freedom. It was based on the student's anatomy and physique.
Heifetz even said if there was one thing he could change about his playing that it would be his bow, BUT he PROVES that it's possible to be the BEST without conforming to what 'the establishment' deems proper.
If Heifetz changed his bowing, he would have to reposition the violin. The way Heifetz holds the bow, which is in fact classified as Russian, is what allows him to reach the tip of the bow with the violin pointing far left. I can name a few violinists who don't acknowledge the relationship between bow hold and violin position. The result is that they usually have to force their wrists to bend up (extension) 45 * or even more just to get in the upper half of the bow.
Carl Flesch describes in detail the Russian Bow Hold in his book "The Art of Violin Playing," along with the German and Franco-Belgian bow holds. I don't know if people had names for them before Flesch labeled them.
The subject can get confusing because the term "Russian bow hold" is thrown around quite often when in fact the person is actually describing more of a Franco-Belgian type hold.
Perlman holds his bow hand "differently" too. I also hold it strangely, but really it doesn't matter. Each hand is different and how people balance their bow is up to them.
I am so over Heifetz after listening to David Garrett--he is a true SHOWMAN! Music is about the eyes AND ears. David Garrett is ART. Listen to your Uncle Junior and learn something for a change.
wtf!

Agreed Stern was silken. Perlman good before he discover Klezmer.
Accardo live is cleaner than Schlomo.
Milstein & Schlomo Mincer very rough live- they confuse Klezmer Kitsch with Koln. PS- Schlomo's wife's an Indian.
Schlmo, Milstein & (anyone current generation including AS Mutter)= studio magic.
With a good good studio- you too could sound like Menuhin/Britney Spears etc no matter how bad you scratch.

If there's ever anything that pisses me off, it's Heifetz's bow-hold...

yeah, "He" can do anything he wants with that bowhand. It just looks annoying. I don't know anyone else who plays like that...unless u can recommend me someone...

Maybe that's part of what makes him unique. He's Heifetz...he can do what he wants.

Exactly, it's interesting to see everyone's different approach to mastering the violin.

Lol? What do you propose? The Franco-Belgian hold?
Sorry, but Auer didn't teach that. Nor did he teach the Russian hold. He taught with a sense of freedom. It was based on the student's anatomy and physique.
Heifetz even said if there was one thing he could change about his playing that it would be his bow, BUT he PROVES that it's possible to be the BEST without conforming to what 'the establishment' deems proper.

If Heifetz changed his bowing, he would have to reposition the violin. The way Heifetz holds the bow, which is in fact classified as Russian, is what allows him to reach the tip of the bow with the violin pointing far left. I can name a few violinists who don't acknowledge the relationship between bow hold and violin position. The result is that they usually have to force their wrists to bend up (extension) 45 * or even more just to get in the upper half of the bow.

It may be 'classified' as Russian, but those people don't know.
If you would have asked Heifetz about the Russian school or the Auer school he wouldn't have known what you were talking about.

Carl Flesch describes in detail the Russian Bow Hold in his book "The Art of Violin Playing," along with the German and Franco-Belgian bow holds. I don't know if people had names for them before Flesch labeled them.
The subject can get confusing because the term "Russian bow hold" is thrown around quite often when in fact the person is actually describing more of a Franco-Belgian type hold.

Perlman holds his bow hand "differently" too. I also hold it strangely, but really it doesn't matter. Each hand is different and how people balance their bow is up to them.

His students often have that hand. I have worked with one in particular.

I am so over Heifetz after listening to David Garrett--he is a true SHOWMAN! Music is about the eyes AND ears. David Garrett is ART. Listen to your Uncle Junior and learn something for a change.
