Hi, I have put some videos up to help people play the Wohlfahrt etudes in tune. If anyone thinks they are useful I will put the rest of them up, they really helped me with my intonation. Thanks

I started on Wohlfahrt and I think it sounds beautiful and a challenge. Thank you for the videos.

I couldnt help myself but watch the section of you playing (from 3.27+) over and over. I wanted to catch you out on your bowing but I couldnt! You flawlessly play in that middle lane.

May I put in a request that when you play something you stand back from the camera slightly so we can see your full bow arm and wrist? It would be a very helpful learning tool.

How do you know when to skip a note?

[czimon]

i think he means there's a skip in the notes as it is written in the piece.

like C-D-E-F-G versus C-D-E-G-A. the second one skipped the F which can be considered a "trap" (as professorV calls it) because you've become accustomed to the non-skipping parts and will have a tendency to miss the skipped note.

Thanks ProfV for sharing this!

The Bach interpretation sounds beautiful.

I love Wohlfahrt's etudes particularly the third one. These set of etudes does not only sharpen playing skills but also delightful to play.

i love your videos.. I am a violin teacher for beginners but english is my second language. I can understand everything that you say and I like to improve how to communicate with my students. Thank you for all the hints.

Can I refer your videos to my students?

[professorV]

Hi pityuska, Thank you! I'd be honored. I wish you and your students all the best and a Happy New Year! TE

KOOL it really can sound like " Bach " with the right phrasing

I am on the 30th etude of Wohlfahrt and still i cant do vibroto that fast with each note. Your a wonderful violinist.

[xionompala]

[fh867]

I just saw these today, after pulling out my old beat up violins that I was given-I mostly play guitar and am learning banjo. I have never found a more comprehensive resource for learning an instrument. I thank you SO MUCH for putting this out there, as it is extremely helpful! I feel like I'll be able to watch these over and over and help myself improve since I'm "self" teaching. Well, now I'm "self" teaching with assistance!! So thanks again!!

[Linuxica]

Wow.. I starting to understand that you say... you are my violin and English teacher!!!

Bravo!!

[professorV]

That is great and I am honored to be your English teacher (but painfully unqualified)!! Thanks for the very nice comments - as always.
