[kenny2923]

"I have rather a large hands".... if he wants, I will trade him my "medium sized hands" for his.

[adaptiveagile]

Magnificent. Wonderful video -- thanks so much.

[Quikxsilver17]

greatest alive (period)

[dupamarynakupa]

do you think the dance of the goblins is difficult?

[NaomiGigi]

@dupamarynakupa well it depends on from what point you see it. technically it is really not easy, also to find the right sounding-points. But when it comes to the musicality, I don't hink it's that hard to interpretate. You just have to lighten it up a few times but I think all in one it's pretty difficult.

[violinlove00]

@dupamarynakupa -- Depends on how much skill you have playing the violin. If your a beginner, stay with the easy, slow songs such as The Swan but Saint Saens and Canon in D by Pachelbel.

[moltoallegro19]

@violinlove00 Slow songs aren't easier than fast songs. If something: quite the opposite! Playing slow pieces require a lot more thought and often more sensibility and you need to be much more careful with your tone. Anyone can pull the bow back and forth in high speeds, but playing a slow piece and making it sound really beautiful is a real challenge.

[c4bb4g3]

@moltoallegro19 you know what else is a real challenge? playing something fast and clean. "Anyone can pull the bow back and forth in high speeds", true, but anyone can also play something slow with the correct touch and dynamics required. both take a lot of practice; stop taking away from the hard work required to play something as difficult as the 5th.

[moltoallegro19]

@c4bb4g3 I did not say it was easy to play everything fast, but it is much easier to hide your lacking skill with a fast piece, if I'm allowed to put it like that. Given that you have the technique - it's often harder to play slow, since you give the listener time to reflect on every detail.

[AngryKhan]

@moltoallegro19 not true, it is easy to play slow music clarity. Paganini is so difficult not because of its speed, but because of the bow technique it requires to get out all those notes crisply.

[moltoallegro19]

@AngryKhan It is easy to play slow music clearly - if you don't intend to play it well or interesting. Still we're talking in general here; I didn't say all slow pieces are objectively harder than every fast piace in the world. But you say it yourself: the difficulty with Paganini is the quality, not speed (I believe it's the combination, though). My point is that it's easier to hide your lacking quality in a higher speed.

[AngryKhan]

@moltoallegro19 i disagree its much hard to play a quality paganini than say vivaldis A minor mov 2 in quality.

[moltoallegro19]

@AngryKhan This is not a question in which you may agree or disagree. That is a very unfair comparison, Vivaldi's A minor concerto is a different genre and on a whole different level than the typical Paganini. I didn't say (and this is the second time I clearify this) that a slow, technically easy, piece is harder than a fast, technically difficult, piece. My point is (for the bloody third time) that your flaws become more transparent in a slow piece.

[moltoallegro19]

@AngryKhan Therefore: it's generally easier to play the faster piece of two of the same technical level.

[AngryKhan]

@moltoallegro19 i really see no difference in a slow or faster piece, unless for some reason you have trouble hearing music isnt capable of being played so fast that the ear cannot hear mistakes.

[moltoallegro19]

@AngryKhan I'm not talking about mistakes (even though I think you're wrong: you can too play something to fast to make mistakes distinguishable); I am talking about quality of tone. How skilled you are and how beautiful the sound of your tone is is much more obvious in a slow piece than if you play 32-notes in MM 165. I said in, like, my second comment that we assumed that the violinist already possesed the technical skills aquired for both the slow and the fast piece.

[gfportilho]

@moltoallegro19 how many there are virtuosos in the world? they are the ones that play well the slow pieces, fast pieces, or both?

@death0personified Haha yeah, I remember when I first got into classical music I was like "Vanessa Mae is the shit!!" Now I laugh every time I remember back to those days.

[joshrulz94]

@ViolinRose08 David Garrett is good... but not as good as Mr. Perlman. Ignorance is not appreciated.
