Alexander Markov On Violin Practice

[soundblast75]

Right hand??? How can you teach???

[Marthinusjacobus]

I remember your father playing the Beethoven with the Cape Town City Orchestra in the 70's. I was sitting in the front row.

[julcelenemj]

heyyyyyy Markov you are really very good,congratulations,I hope be able to play as you one day,but for while I 'm learning la folia of corelli,hahah,but now that I downloaded your videos of paganini's caprices ,you became my inspiration,and I will get there if God wish,and I'm sure He will.

you are the better!!!!!

he does cocaine

[dududevynidu]

I think comfort is a thing which doesn't always come by itself. We should seek for more comfortable ways to play :)

[mzzphit]

thankyou alexander, you make me cry when you play, what a wonderful gift.

i wonder if you could give me some advice.

i have had tendonitis in my elbow from playing my violin.

it has been 9 weeks and i havent played at all. it is so painful

when it gets better, hopefully soon. what can i do to avoid getting tendonitis.

thankyou,

Very kind of you to share. Words though are such fickle things but the bow on the string, there's honesty there. Thank you.

[kammermusiken]

Hopefully all of us got the message of efficiency: practise practise practise. Stop watching videos and dream of what could be but instead work on what will be (possible). Inspiring character he is, definitely.

[nospamreceived]

if you put this on mute & replace the fiddle w/ a mic or Fender strat, it could be a Eddie Van Halen

[Deva93]

wow, marko is russian, and he talks just like my russian teacher...it seems russians

have a common quality for expressing themselves XD

[zanderinc]

Hello...I first met you when you were only 12 years old. So nice to see and hear you now. I hope your parents are well.

[oo00Violin00oo]

Yeah it's too hard for me to be on a stage......i start to fell sick.....and i stay like..omg i'm gonna die!! =P i hope this feeling gets away with time....

[Zhyhm]

Nice shirt XD

[vlhere]

I disagree with him on the movements and his facial expressions. Kyung-wha Chung is a prime example. She's an awesome violinist and very established violinist...she does the body movements and those facial expressions..does that mean she is not efficient enough????

[vazquezbare]

@vlhere

no i don't think he said that...

i think that he ment that it's important to have control over your body and not letting your body reflexes control you and your expressions

but of course that doesn't mean that the people who does that, are worst violinists...

dont' you think?

[chelsearule789]

he is the best

[jasonform]

markov speaking about exagereted movements??i mean look at his paganini caprices,he is the show man

[fdr100100]

@jasonform he said necessary artificial any movement that he does is therefore necessary

[jonathanbenaroche]

you know... he is a realy nice fine man =)

[Sixalienasa]

If someone wants to swing out of the Chandelier while playing then its up to that person. Dont ever let anyone tell you how you should or should not play. As long as you are making music you love, go for it.

[omarchuche]

Excelent! just what he said at the end of the video; the technique and the music can´t be separate, even your musical idea must be first, and to achieve it, you need a fine technique.

[LaMolinaria]

Yay alex!
