I'm from a classical musical family and this reminds me of the old musician's joke: "Who do you think you are, Paganini?" No wonder Dad and my uncles had almost godlike respect for his music. All were professional violinists,
There have been rumours about Paganini that he didn't write these songs. He played them before they have been written into notes by his student... Is that true?
played this 3 months ago.... it was quite a tough job, but still, manageable. it just needs rhythmic and intonation accuracy, a relaxed right hand and you being in a good mood!
People, cut Paganini some slack on the simple piano part. First of all, if he had made it any more complex it would have clashed, of seemed like too much. And, he was mainly a violin player anyway. I play violin and can see how it would be hard to connect to complicated parts. -..- ah don't listen to me I'm just rambling cuz I'm so tired.
wow.That is awesome.But i think this song should be played by trumpet.If paganini knows that trumpet can do that too,this song will be mean for trumpet.

You practice it slowly until it is perfect and dynamics and interpretation are the first priority, execution is second and comes with technique. He is not thinking about dynamics, he is largely on autopilot thanks to MUCH practice on this piece. That's what people don't get about great performances. They take years to produce.
When Paganini wrote this piece, i think he must have used lots of energy on the violin notes. When he began to write the piano part, he was like "huh.... I'm so tired, lets end this real quick!!!"
When you first hear this its so deceptive because the piano is so (sorry to use this phrase) LAUREL AND HARDY...But the violin is doing a thing that only a small little fraction of all the violins in the world will ever do. And that's because the operator is the mother of all violin players. There is no other way to say it...Maybe Mr Perlman is really from another planet. That would be another explanation that works. Maybe he was part of a genetic experiment. And it worked..
A little slow for my liking - lacks the jaw-dropping virtuosity that Ricci´s whirlwind interpretation delivers. Very closely miked, which makes it mercyless detail- and tonewise. Perlman is one my favorites for the classic concertos.
@outoftunefiddler because of the repeat...menuhin doesnt repeat first page.(Much harder with the repeat You gotta hold the spicatto 1 min longer) Heifetz:1st take with repeat and amazing bowing-differencies (stroke variety).Must listen!!
I was looking up amazing violinists and everyone was talking about Hilary Hahn, Michael Rabin and Joshua Bell, and how amazing they are. And then I find Perlman in the related videos of one and fell in love with the Violin and his playing. I don't want to make it seem like those others aren't good, but he just has amazing skill, and emotion. I can feel his songs. Perlman is a true hero.
This is not only about precision and accuracy, but also endurance...playing at this tempo without making a single mistake for more than 4 minutes, unimaginable concentration= =
i was planning to perform this but the speed and accuracy of perlman makes me want to push its performance by a few years....indeed spot on... masterful!!!
it's because moto perpetuo means a thing(something) that constantly moving and continues to infinite, just like a bullet shot in the space, so that's the reason why the "fraseggio" never stop ;)
eh, i thought the he ment that perlman is applying to much force with his fingers on the strings' and no matter how i look at it the amound of force that the fingers apply dosent cange anything.
but now i see that he talked about the force the bow applies on the strings,and then, the more force,more tension on the strings and the shorter the wavelength. thank you, i didnt thought about it.
p.s. i do not know how to play a violin, or any musical instrument,in that matter.
o.O ok no prob. also, if you press too hard with ur fingers it changes the sound, it sounds kinda rough, and squeaky if you dont press hard enough but generally speaking you don't need to press too hard at all, especially when you get really high on the finger board where you just need to barely touch the string to make a nice sound
i disagree with the "more force=longer wavelength, louder" from a physics standpoint. More force= larger Amplitude which is why it's louder. a longer wavelength would actually decrease the pitch since pitch is directly proportional to frequency. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. a longer the wavelength means there are fewer cycles completed in the same amount of time therefore, a longer wavelength=a lower frequency (pitch), shorter wavelength=higher frequency.
Applying more force in the bow will increase tension in the string and change the resonant frequency. So more force= shorter wavelenght. Amplitude will also be larger.
In fact two things influence frequency, the length and the tension in the string. We tune the instrument by adjusting the tension in the strings with the pegs. However, because of the force applied by the musician on the bow, the tension will vary. This variation remain limited and will not greatly affect the pitch exept if really large pressure are applied.
@gr445 Well yes,obviously when tuning, you apply the correct tension for the length of string used - it went without saying. Applying more energy won't cause a change of frequency,it will simply cause the string to vibrate more strongly. Or do you think it possible to force the string so far out of it's normal range of movement that it will effect a change of pitch? If so, you could only lengthen the string-lenthening it's wavelength,not shortening it as you told KLucero22.
I guess the change in tension is more important than the change in length in this case. As when you stretch a rubber band and make it vibrate, the pitch goes higher rather than lower. As I said, more pressure in bow does not have a great effect on pitch but if you are a violinist and have a chromatic tuner you can try it yourself. If you press whit all your force on the bow you can almost rise the note by a quarter tone.
If you have one long string it will do nothing. The string must have a "tightness" in order for it to illicit varying frequencies, which are administered by downward pressure of the left hand. Based on tightness, frequencies are proportional to the "length" dictated by the left hand. As the left hand moves into the higher registers, this causes a higher modulation. Respectively, the distance that the bow is to the bridge will affect the violin's dynamic (loud and soft).
Furthermore, if a longer string is utilized, such as a cello, then the spacing between the notes will increase distance-wise. In other words, the normal hand positions played on a cello are "larger" than a violin. Frequency is determined by resonance materials, length, and tension. So, yes, length has some part in it.
A string's pitch depends on the length, mass, and tension of the string. If you move the bow fast enough and push hard enough, the pitch gets sharper.
@KLucero22 It's not a matter to disagree on, really. The definition of a longer wavelength is a lower frequency.
When more force is applied, wouldn't the string vibrate more widely? I've seen my G string vibrate really weirdly and produce a lower wobble before settling into a solid note. In general, though, I would be hesitant to say more force = lower note.
I haven't visited this comments page since I first posted my comment regarding wavelengths and amplitude. As such, I'd like to sincerely apologize if my comment was interpreted as pretentious, arrogant, or in any way offensive. That was never my motivation. As a double major in materials science engineer and cello performance I love music, and find physics very interesting and satisfying as well.
(continued) However, I never intended to turn this video's comments into an argument over who was right and for that, I really am sorry. Perlman's playing is truly amazing and that's really what this video should be about. One could analyze his music from a physics standpoint but I'm a firm believer that doing so takes away what makes music so universal and powerful. Do I sometimes think about physics when I play my music? Sure, I do. But most of the time,
(continued, continued) I just study music as it is, and how it should be studied-as an art (a beautiful, profound and moving art at that) one that should be enjoyed for what it is, nothing less, nothing more. If I analyzed the music I heard as a result of a wave function every single time I attended a concert, I don't think I could possibly enjoy music. As such, I truly hope the comments can move beyond my comment last year to just appreciating Perlman's awesome-ness :)
@Wiltonibanez not exactly. pitch is analogous to frequency the way color is analogous to frequency. frequency is simply a measure of the number of repeating events per unit time. pitch IS our interpretation of the number of oscillations per second we can hear in a sound wave and is proportional to the frequency of a sound wave, the same way color is a narrow band of frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum of light. but pitch is not exactly frequency, per se.
@Wiltonibanez in other words, frequency is an objective scientific measurement that can be used to indicate any number of measurements involving oscillations not specific to pitch. pitch is a manifestation of our own physical perception of the sound wave. i once was at a rehearsal where my stand partner and i were arguing in what key a certain song was. we both went to demonstrate the song on our instrument and both played the song with correct relative intervals, just in different keys.
everything you have said so far on this comments page suggests that you are a knowledge-less liberal arts person
whether you actually are a 20-25-yr-old liberal arts major is irrelevant; your personality is classifiable as such, and as a result your fecal matter is the least undesirable aspect of your net output
what might be more important than who plays better is which player truley beleives in himself to where he's
not bothered by who plays better for me each person has their own flavor god made us that way how boring would it be if we all played exactly the same way
it's not a gift from someone - say god -, it's the result of hard work, discipline, dedication and love for the wonderful art of music ;-) let's just enjoy Perlman's talent that he himself developed by spending hours and hours each and every day ... great version btw, thanks for the upload :-)
I expect a good and intelligent conversation about practising routines, meaning of the composer's work.. how to acquire a great sound on the violin... stuff like that.. not some rude reaction like you probably would give.. I'm sure mr. Perlman has no reason to doubt his beliefs.. so he can't be bothered by a witty remark. you on the other hand; if you would slap me for that, I definitely wouldn't turn my other cheek but instead beat the crap out of you ;-) anyway, any comments on this music?
So why is there only 1 Perlman in 6 bilion population?''hard work, discipline, dedication and love for the wonderful art of music ''-there are a lot of people that do the same but they don t get closte to him,now you tell me why...
There are more people who have that name.. and there are more people who have developed their violin talent and made a name for themselves in the violin/music community.. V.Repin, H. Hahn, S. Accardo, S. Chang, S. Mintz.. well, you get the picture.. the people who aren't succesful in doing so.. just aren't lucky.. or aren't connected.. or aren't pushing hard enough. or a combination of these factors.. or did you really think it's because god didn't allow them ? lol
schweitz2171-You may also want to check out Phillipe Hirschhorn and Josef Hassid while you are at it. Of Hassid Fritz Kreizler said-every 100 years a Heifetz comes along-every 200 years a Hassid.
I like Perlman pretty much, however every piece has it's violinist: Perlman for me is Bazzini, Paganini 1st concert, Brahms concert, but surely not Bach sonatas and partitas, Vivaldi four seasons, other Paganini concerts and caprices, whatever. Those pieces are better performed by other violinists.
Heifetz also goes back,and Joseph Lendvay as well..don't remember how Paganini himself played it..I was too little;-)..I DON'T THINK this piece is ALL about SPEED ,but about a PERPETUAL MOTION in a RAPID SPEED ..and ITZHAK PERLMAN !!! has just proved it :-)
Ah....something about this song makes me so hapy ;D I love the picture of Itzhak smiling towards the end of the video. Something about his smile and the song combined make this piece oh so heart warming =D
I'm from a classical musical family and this reminds me of the old musician's joke: "Who do you think you are, Paganini?" No wonder Dad and my uncles had almost godlike respect for his music. All were professional violinists,

@Wiltonibanez not exactly. pitch is analogous to frequency the way color is analogous to frequency. frequency is simply a measure of the number of repeating events per unit time. pitch IS our interpretation of the number of oscillations per second we can hear in a sound wave and is proportional to the frequency of a sound wave, the same way color is a narrow band of frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum of light. but pitch is not exactly frequency, per se.

@Wiltonibanez in other words, frequency is an objective scientific measurement that can be used to indicate any number of measurements involving oscillations not specific to pitch. pitch is a manifestation of our own physical perception of the sound wave. i once was at a rehearsal where my stand partner and i were arguing in what key a certain song was. we both went to demonstrate the song on our instrument and both played the song with correct relative intervals, just in different keys.

everything you have said so far on this comments page suggests that you are a knowledge-less liberal arts person
whether you actually are a 20-25-yr-old liberal arts major is irrelevant; your personality is classifiable as such, and as a result your fecal matter is the least undesirable aspect of your net output

既然冠以大师称号，就不能用一般地标准来评判。帕尔曼拉这个帕格尼尼无穷动速度的确不慢，但是给人的感觉就是用琴弓子蹭琴弦，很多地方和michael Rabin相比都含糊不清，michael Rabin的技术显然都比他好得很。 更不用说比heifetz了。说这么多废话，我自己都觉得没意思。

是的，没错。不过你好像只听过perlman拉琴阿，我一开始的感觉和你是一样的，被这人给虎住了，残疾人拉琴就是有问题：右手拉不开。

what might be more important than who plays better is which player truley beleives in himself to where he's
not bothered by who plays better for me each person has their own flavor god made us that way how boring would it be if we all played exactly the same way

Playing like that is only a gift from God.
Anouchkova 2 years ago
it's not a gift from someone - say god -, it's the result of hard work, discipline, dedication and love for the wonderful art of music ;-) let's just enjoy Perlman's talent that he himself developed by spending hours and hours each and every day ... great version btw, thanks for the upload :-)

Go tell Perlman that his playing is not a gift from God - see what he tells you. Expect a slap.
moldyoreo 2 years ago
I expect a good and intelligent conversation about practising routines, meaning of the composer's work.. how to acquire a great sound on the violin... stuff like that.. not some rude reaction like you probably would give.. I'm sure mr. Perlman has no reason to doubt his beliefs.. so he can't be bothered by a witty remark. you on the other hand; if you would slap me for that, I definitely wouldn't turn my other cheek but instead beat the crap out of you ;-) anyway, any comments on this music?

milstein91 2 years ago
There are more people who have that name.. and there are more people who have developed their violin talent and made a name for themselves in the violin/music community.. V.Repin, H. Hahn, S. Accardo, S. Chang, S. Mintz.. well, you get the picture.. the people who aren't succesful in doing so.. just aren't lucky.. or aren't connected.. or aren't pushing hard enough. or a combination of these factors.. or did you really think it's because god didn't allow them ? lol

I agree that this version is much better than Menuhin. It is clearer and more distinct. Speed has nothing to do with the piece

I like Perlman pretty much, however every piece has it's violinist: Perlman for me is Bazzini, Paganini 1st concert, Brahms concert, but surely not Bach sonatas and partitas, Vivaldi four seasons, other Paganini concerts and caprices, whatever. Those pieces are better performed by other violinists.

Heifetz also goes back,and Joseph Lendvay as well..don't remember how Paganini himself played it..I was too little;-)..I DON'T THINK this piece is ALL about SPEED ,but about a PERPETUAL MOTION in a RAPID SPEED ..and ITZHAK PERLMAN !!! has just proved it :-)
