Me either-if I could do it, it would be with a cheap bow to be on the safe side, like Ian Cooper uses in his video of a similar piece. Quite terrific playing also, I would say.
@jin12345678 - No, in order for him to play like that, the frog must be detached from the bow and held in the fingers of the bow-hand. He simply lets go of the frog at the end to release the bow from the violin.
Great! Do you have any further informations about this piece? Especially if there is any sheet music of it? We had a russian concertmaster who used to play this, but he didn´t even know the title - which btw doesn´t give any result when you google....
Glad you liked it! Mr. Shtern told me it is called "George of Dinky Jazz". He learned it from violinist Emil Bruh (sounds like Bree) in Russia in 1940.
SWEET!!

This is awesome, but I would be so afraid of damaging my bow I'm not sure I could do it.

The frog drops, but the hair is still attached to it.

Unfortunately, I don't have any more info on he piece or any sheet music. BTW, if it's ok to ask, who is the Concertmaster you mentioned?
sneddley 3 years ago
His name is Alexander Labko - there are recordings of the Medtner-Sonatas on youtube...
