Violinist Stefan Jackiw: Bach's Partita No. 3 in E Major, Prelude

[abearhug4every1]

Hahaha!!! He messed up!! But he's still awesome!!! Not everyone is perfect!!! By the way...I like how he says Bach. "Ba..k"

[sidwong123]

lmfao...the camera moves with his body...bwhahahahahahah

[addlzp2009]

mistake in the first phrase? really...?

[Coolcat607]

@addlzp2009 what was the mistake

[addlzp2009]

@Coolcat607 he played an F Natural in the first beat of the second bar. It's meant to be an F #.

[Coolcat607]

@addlzp2009 oh my god.. he did o.o how did i miss that before

[roxy250]

he's so good

[anyalun115]

he's not american -.- he's german korean mix...best mix ever :D asians+germans is the best mix in my mind <3

[lawowalker]

Now I can't really judge professionals on this but I know he's using way too much bow.

[Joebzzz]

@lawowalker if you can't really judge professionals why did you say that then?

[MahoRoulete]

Like this if august rush brought you here :D

[spokospokospoko]

Technically impressive, I suppose, but could benefit from slowing down a bit and adding some dynamism. Nothing wrong with hanging on a note now and then--it's not a race. It's also not a technical exercise. It's music.

[cheeriosfanatic]

it sounds rush :( however the technical parts are an ace :)

[mozartsviolinist]

he played really well but looked pretty cocky

[Loopytoontownguy]

:) My friend is doing this for his solo in a couple of weeks

[Jaegermeister42]

something sounded out of tune at the beginning other than that it was great

[KezeviN]

@ Tomwelcome--- ya .. me thinks so too that he did miss the first F# i guess.. it sounded sharp :P

[batman19921992]

me to...im using it to audition to USC.

[signorpaganini]

congrats, im playing this tomorrow for an audition:)

[s3vris]

like!!

[Tomwelcome]

Did he just miss the first F#?

[jhsmeister]

Yes, and a couple of other notes. I probably miss 10 times as many. Ha Ha! But hey, he's good. A couple of misplaced notes don't break the performance. Great interpretation I say!

[masael255]

Indeed. That was actually pretty cool to hear it go into that minor key in the beginning. I rather like it. :D

[Jesusfreak773]

I agree :)

God bless <333

@jhsmeister This piece is difficult for people who easily lose focus after making an error in their performance. The important thing is to keep playing and forget about your mistakes. There aren't many rests in this piece to help the performer regain his composure. Overall, he did great. The dynamic contrast in certain passages as well as their respective articulation diminished a bit towards the end.
