Perfectiv efforts of his playing are making major fame with clystal like

very pulre sliky musc . More and more dayby day his VTR make more funs with  respects, I think so.

Anyway. I like his paganini.

[Imbetterthanmost]

the notes aren't actually that hard to play.... it's the bow control o_O

[nughaga]

im stuck on the 2nd bar, decide to listen to a recording and... haha no way im gonna learn this in time for my competition.. along with the pagainin concerto..... and this is just for round 1..

[Methotrexat3]

Ahahah! 3 people don't like it! 230 fools! AHahahah!

[carrottoponcrak]

that's barely a ricochet stroke if you ask me. He's kinda like Peter Zimmerman who kinda just moves the bow really fast and hopes it bounces a little.

[MrGunterguerrero]

Shlomo probably understood the ' Italian Coloratura ' as Ole Bull said once...

[violinoamore]

The Caprice has written ANDANTE, I wonder why everybody plays it Prestissimo ...

[tehom001]

At 0:37  the violin was laughing at me....

[BowfireBrett]

Too bad the rest of the caprices are not posted! wow!!!

[Strife153]

he moves his fingers like a sexy woman 

[yuepon13]

take that heejoon ahn

[quantumturbo]

What is that noise? its sounds like the bow is bouncing on the strings. or like every note is being played twice. Is it a violin technique?

[decky1990]

@quantumturbo Ricochet bowing

[fateindustry]

@quantumturbo This piece is pretty much off string. He's mostly doing ricochet bowing...In some parts of the piece, he is playing difficult double stops

[f1290]

OF COURSE! i should become the best violinist in the world, sex can wait

[Flaminggential]

@f1290 to think I actually did tat in high skool years i'll never get bak

[justin10054]

that spinning violin gives me the same feeling i get from watching eraserhead.

i hated that movie.

[cuoylyf]

Woww FANTASTICO!!!

[bekomach]

IT IS PORN...

[eddyguitarmusic]

CAPRICE NO. 5 IS THE FIRST THRASH METAL SONG EVER.PERIOD.

[zivkitis]

I stopped breathing for a minute and 45 seconds :')

[WatsonKpu]

paganini invented swiftpicking :D

[fireandblazes26]

@WatsonKpu ??? he was a classical composer! not those trash rock band singers...

[WatsonKpu]

@fireandblazes26 I was kidding -.-

[albpoolshark]

people seriously need to aim better when they go to like this video

[saintmichael104]

the bowing is actually easy....AND SO IS THE FINGERING!!!! HAHAHAHA!

[Sviolinist]

Psh... heard better. Easy piece anyway. J/k love this guy!

[lovesGenet]

Liszt does this one on piano. I don't know what that saltato? or violin technique is but it's hard to make the bow jump lightly from string to string with the spiccato marks. Mendellsohn uses this in second mov violin con.The liszt went several revisions first he wrote it for intervals.Impossible on our pianos today. The final version is rather easy on piano even with the thirds and easily memorizable for most!

[pienkunicorn]

Does anyone know if there's a CD out there with all Paganini's caprices on it? I love these things. When Chemistry gets me down I just listen to this and I feel better instantly

[bobstronge]

shlomo rulz

[NeoNesscom]

Than you so much for up loaded this!

[Fenrisdisciple91]

jesus. no wonder people thought Paginini sold his soul to satan to play the violin like he did, that mustve been fuckin mind blowing back in his day!

[lakesidemourning]

@trotskyfication You think so? I think it sounds really cool and the technique gives it an awesome effect. It's probably one of my favorites. I can see why someone wouldn't like it so much, though.

[CaptainIronhelm]

I'll have to learn this one.

[paganviodio]

this is technically perfect...there is nothing to say about it

[D0g63rt]

I enjoy sweep picking on pianos, because they don't require sweeps or picks.

[AraGuitar]

sweep picking has nothing on this

[mdeonx16]

This is basically like sweep picking, but using a bow instead of a pick :D

[AraGuitar]

@mdeonx16 right, but generic sweep arpeggios sound so stale compared to this... im a guitar player, I can't sweep very well (yet), but i wish what i CAN do would sound more like this :D

[theFordFalco]

@mdeonx16 butt, theres an echo sound so its def cooler =P

[fireballkiller]

@AraGuitar amen to that dude, coming for someone who sweep picks, and is learning the violin now.

[ipmoic]

dasklavierleben:

My comment just reinforced what listener IgneousWarrior wrote. Who knows why people spam one's comments?

Maybe they didn't understand Schumann's insights?

Or perhaps they prefer to practice 12 hours a day!

[BobBobGobGob]

I've heard many virtuosos play this caprice, but none come close to matching Shlomo Mintz's richness and fullness of notes. I love this.

[usatmusicpatb]

@BobBobGobGob EXCEPT FOR PERLMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paganviodio]

this is better than perlman. the thirds are much faster, and the richochet is...healthier....the end is amazing- the last four lines are amazing fast and good played.

[martin24495]

@paganviodio and of course, the best violinist is the one, who played the fast...

[lovingee1]

@paganviodio I AGREE TOTALLY. He, Isaac Stern, Heifetz, Chang PLAY violin. Perlman rips it apart...way too rough on it for me.

[fireballkiller]

@BobBobGobGob have you watched leonidas kavakos, cause hes pretty amazing, infact i think his notes mabie even sound a little stronger, mabie just audio quality though.

[yervand21]

beautiful playing with such ease

[ipmoic]

Robert Schumann said (I'm paraphrasing):

If you have lost your freshness and concentration and can no longer practice with joy then it is time to stop.

[dasklavierleben]

Why did people give you thumbs down?

I think that's a great philosophy

[BarbaraPloyer333]

Paganini- a genial, killer musician who never attempted to emulate any other composer/violinist. He was pretty much an idiosyncratic kind of guy.

This should be called "The Mad Violin."

[sj4steele]

I LOVE THIS RECORDING!!!!!!!!

[Anya217]

David Garett said in an interview he practices 3-4h each day, and i think hes a professional, isn't he?

[AlastairBrownViolist]

Easily my favorite #1. Shlomo is the man.

[k0r34nb02]

0:49

Napoleon Dynamite??

WTF?

xD

[DarkLoveFashion]

to avoid misunderstandings. Paganini violin for me the best of all time. But not the best composer. Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart ... if they are the best musicians ever.

[leicheterrorzone]

wagner too

[BetterOffDead1337]

what kind of strings does shlomo use??

[violatione]

How do you know that?

[PwnSoldierz]

It's not the kind of strings he uses, but the way he practices and preforms...

[Polerification]

"what you were trying to do is show off and shut others down. Get a life. " And you think you are doing..?

Uhm, chill out? It's really not something to get anal about. "Beyond unfounded"? So they took some completely random violin and showed it? Also, the resolution of this video is too poor to see the strings in this video.

It's like teaching a 2nd grader. "If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all." Do everybody a favor and learn this before making ludicrous accusations.

[Polerification]

Assuming the violin that spins (~1:05) is the violin he is playing on, those are not Dominants. Dominants have a solid color winding, and a different color for every string. All of the strings here have the same color winding, and it looks like there is a spiral doing down the winding of a different color.

This all said, I know nothing about this violinist or any claims he may have made about using a certain string. All I can tell you is the violin spinning does not have dominants on it.

[Polerification]

"Nobody cares what kinds of strings are on the spinning violin." "The question was about what sort of strings he uses, not how he makes or gets his sound."

Completely ridiculous as well. The point is, anyway, that this piece is very difficult and it sounds terrific when he plays it. Enough said.

[Dansback21]

probably one of the best ones yet~!

[superhyperkiwi]

i wonder how long he practice in a day

[starryeyed95]

this is a cute comment. haha it made me smile.

[starryeyed95]

this is a cute comment. haha it made me smile.

[chatastic2008]

I wonder how long in a day he does not practice.

[TheAzianInvazion]

@chatastic2008 Professionals at this level do not practice much in a day. Usually most of their improvement has already finished during their childhood (or young adulthood). Very busy soloists mostly travel, or are rehearsing with the orchestra.

and as a side note, the caprices were intended to be practice (prerequisites) songs for the much bigger pieces paganini wrote.

[violatione]

You have to practice at least 5 solid hours per day to get like this.

[jasonchuu]

professionals actually practice 7-8hr+ every day.

[violatione]

Yeah if you want to develop physical problems. If you have to practice more than 6 hours per day to make marked improvement, you might want to put the violin down and study medicine.

[IgneousWarrior]

@jasonchuu

The amount of time one practices is negligible after a certain point - 3-4 hours a day is perfecly good. What one has to do is ensure that every minute of practice is good practice. I could practice 12 hours a day, but if I did was play the Dmaj scale, I won't get anywhere.

[jasonchuu]

true, but professionals don't just practice scales...

[IgneousWarrior]

@jasonchuu

That's true, but the point stands. An hour of good practice is worth a dozen of bad practice.

[jasonchuu]

just what are you trying to argue? why does practicing 7-8 hrs a day have to be bad???

[IgneousWarrior]

I'm not arguing against practicing for vast expanses of time; if I had free time, that's what I would do. What I'm saying is that it isn't necessary - one could become an excellent player without investing his time to that extent. While extensive periods of practice are nice, one could be just as good a player with time to spare.

In other words, practicing that long isn't bad - it's can be beneficial. It's just that one doesn't need to spend that long practicing to become a virtuoso.

[GOHI11101995]

its not ricochet bowing!!!!

its arpeggio bowling!!

[cageynerd]

remember, it's a wet hall -- so what you hear is not what it mean seems...

[jonahkwok]

i still don't know how to do slur staccato like that...

[McSplat]

it's called ricochet bowing

[jonahkwok]

Of course i know. I'm not asking what it's called, I'm asking how to do it.

[McSplat]

bounce the bow on the string

[shanehodd]

umm if it makes sense . . . place the bow on the string, and keep your elbow rigid and move it up and down in order to bring the bow along all 4 strings, then once thats sorted, introduce the bounce by flicking your wrist on the downward motion, the bow should bounce naturally . . .

[9031879134]

Try moving the elbow up and down more, tighten the bow at first if you need to. Maybe begin with a simpler piece with this effect in it... I like the Joachim cadenza in Mendelssohn's violin concerto,

[jin12345678]

there's a lot more to ricochet technique than can be expressed in just a few lines. if you aren't an advanced level player have patience and listen to your teacher if you have one:) but there are sites in the internet if you search that give you lots of tips and videos on bow techniques.

[DanielSong39]

Try violinmasterclass for some hints.

All I can say is that it's very, very difficult and requires a lot of practice and killer timing. Ask your violin teacher; it may take a few lessons to get this right.

When you start out, play it on open strings.  Later, play something easier than this - for example, the section in Mendelssohn violin concerto.

I hope to be able to play this piece some day - we shall see.

[bertxo]

I've heard a lot of performances of the 24 caprices. I think that this version for Deutsche Grampophon is the best.

[nihil1]

Surely, Paganini invented shredding. :P

[xoxoAmorosAxoxo]

LOL he sure did :D

[aasjazz91]

@nihil1 You can not compare this to shredding, cause this has actually some musical sense!

[lakesidemourning]

@aasjazz91 Shredding can have a LOT of musical sense. It just depends on who you're listening to. :]

[SultanKaraMusic]

@nihil1 amen :P

[Doctor550]

things sorry

[Dogaradodia]

Bravissimo!

[vokuheila]

lol @ the irony of his name... "shlomo"

Mind blowing performance. Better than Perlman, Accardo, Ehnes, Ricci versions by far.

[xxx181278]

Shlomo is genius indeed

[unvmoi]

This is the best version of this song i've ever heard!

I've heard other versions from other famous violinists, and they are nowhere near as phenominal as this guy!

Who knows, this guy is probrably better at playing Paganini's pieces than Paganini himself.

[Doctor550]

paganini lived in 19 century...people don t understand that in that time it wasn't possible to play like this becouse the thecnical nolege was not as good as today,so i am almost sure that paganini didn t play like this.

[ikillurobot]

I don't understand what you mean. The technology wasn't as good as today? I know that the best violins were made before he lived, so it must be something to do with the way the bow was built? Could you explain what you meant by that? thanks.

[Doctor550]

Don t be idiot I mean the thecnique of the violin playing !do you now even what is that?

[ikillurobot]

Apparently I don't. Care to explain?

[genmaximus110]

Paganini most likely composed all of his pieces while he was fooling around on his violin. I imagine he's better than any violinist that has ever played.

[Doctor550]

I imagine a lot of thinks too...

[cacho29mx]

So maybe Paganini developed technique that was not widespread but discovered much later (gauss discovered the fast fourier transform before fourier was born). Besides to say that people didn't know how to play until recently is kind of strange, I know there are certain techniques but there have been violinists since quite a few years and umm I wouldn't be too surprised if some of them actually where good and didn't pass it along. Just a thought...

[godsloved3]

oh ye of little faith. Paganini was the shit. thats all we need.

[9031879134]

Paganini was world reknowned at the time and even had a public and some say victorious "duel" with Joseph Joachim. It's true Paganini probably had unparalleled technique that he developed far beyond his predecessor, Tartini, but it is also his showmanship and ability to compose easily understandable pieces that still include uses of advanced technique that brought him to the forefront. So i'd say, since no others at the time were making such an impact on virtuosity, he was probably the "best".

[NENOKAM]

Some of Paganinis' technique, such as the double stops, came from his studies of the guitar. He wrote several pieces for guitar and violin. Great stuff!  Schlomo Mintz has the best feel, of All of the recorded violinists, for Paganinis' Technique. I have Schlomo Mintz' recording of the 24 Caprices on "Vinyl" from about 15 years ago.

[happyfunnyfoo]

ridiculously good

[vokuheila]

Wow... never heard those thirds runs so fast. A few were not entirely in tune though. Nevertheless, mind-blowing performance.

[AJDM10]

My my...that Shlomon is fucking good...gotta agree with everybody else(I heard many others!) but he is unbelivable good!

[cromulentinnoc3nce]

BRAVO!

[MUSICisTHEbestFORme]

really the best version, i know!

[othartheom]

best version I've heard

[iluv2write]

he is a master!

[klmnps]

Absolutely wrong, he is "The" master!!

[zucchini2007]

I like it when they show Mintz's violin spinning on its axis, that was so cool!! I am IMPRESSED by Mintz's, his intonation, phrasing, tempo, and everything else was PERFECT.

[fiddlinmatt]

yeah I am definitely loving this guy's sound concept.

[beagleman123456789]

wow

[bittorring]

podeis poner los caprichos que faltan? gracias

[zucchini2007]

Aqui estan todos los 24 caprichos tocados por Mintz, no mas los tienes que buscar bajo la frase que dice "Related Videos."

[bittorring]

Por qué la gente vota eb NEGATIVO??? no lo entiendo.
