@slayermia copying some things is ok, but i think that in order to be a true great musician, one should develope their own style and just be their self. there are so many clones in this world and to see some one creating their own path is rare. this is only my opinion though.
@slayermia Do you have a teacher, and a good one at that?
I think one thing that might help is to watch videos of people like Mintz and Hahn -- people who have pretty much FLAWLESS technique -- and observe how they use their bow to create different sounds, and how they position their left hand to make things easier.
Also observe where I said "pretty much" flawless. Of course there are flaws here and there. Who doesn't have flaws? But I know I have personally improved my technique a lot by observing the way she positions her elbows, etc.
@slayermia One thing my teachers always tell me is "It's not the quantity of practice, it's the quality." Perhaps you're spending tons of time on the peice, but are you practicing carefully? "Careful" practicing DOES take a lot of the fun and enjoyment out of it, but the end result is sooooo worth it. Good luck!
Man... I've been practicing violin for 12 years now... Since i was 4 i was practicing the art of violin. All I can do compared to his skill.. is seriously, lick his nuts.. :'(
Look at his fingers move like that...yes, he is amazing...and makes it look effortless, although it likely took years to get to this place where it just comes...(unless he is indeed a prodogy...).
you know whats amazing, is this guy has memorized and executes every capricci of paganini flawlessly, thats a musical genius, virtuoso, artist if there ever was one.
@fireballkiller memorizing these capricces should not be amazing, iy should be necessary. Pianists memorize every piece they play, and every musician should do it as it is of vital importance to improve the performance. Orchestras do not help too much...
Paganini : fenomeno da baraccone tutta tecnica e virtuosismo che non aveva neppure la più pallida idea di cosa fossero l'armonia a la melodia della musica. I " Capricci " sono uno più osceno dell'altro ( salvo solo il 9 e il 24 ), e pensare che li fanno ancora studiare nei conservatori : un autentico spreco di tempo che sarebbe meglio dedicare ai SOMMI Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli e compagnia.
il tuo commento è osceno :D . . un conto è dire ch enon ti piaccia lo stile..e ci può stare....ma se mi vieni a dire che non ha melodia e armonia allora non capisci proprio nulla di musica ;)
capriccio 1?3? 5? 11? 16 ? dove li hai lasciati? :O il 16 ha una melodia divina come fai a dire st'eresie dico io XD ...la melodia non scompare se il pezzo è suonato veloce...sei tu che non riesci a sentirla ;)
ok ora mi è chiaro XD . .tu fai parte di quella parte di persone che preferisce studiarla la musica anche come concetti filosofici XD ..te le dico io alcune cose che forse non ti hanno mai detto ....La musica è arte,.. l'arte è soggettiva...l'arte non si studia si crea...tutte quelle persone che dedicano la vita a suonare pezzi fatti da altri senza crearli sono musicalmente dei FALLITI....trovo inaccettabile leggre commenti denigratori sul modo di interpretare ...
una cosa soggettiva come l'arte...poichè essendo tale ogni commento è fuori luogo..si possono citare preferenze...anche io preferisco bach..ma non mozart ad esempio...trovo le melodie di mozart poco struggenti al pari di paganini = mi danno meno emozioni. . . suonando alcuni pezzi di paganini mi accorgo sbavando della complessità manlinconica del pezzo che RICHIEDE anche una notevole tecnica di esecuzione "purtroppo" sembra come il violino voglia parlare e esprimere il suo disappunto!!
Sapendo inoltre che la persona di cui si parla improvvisava TUTTI i suoi concerti rendendone ognuno UNICO in base alle emozioni momentanee dell'artista che esegue il pezzo, si parla di un qualcosa che si avvicina musicalmente al top per quanto riguarda la mia concezione musicale....il capriccio numero 5 ad esempio..più è suonato veloce più la velocità lo rende struggente.....è un capolavoro
esecuzione magistrale...un pò come percepisco io la musica di paganini...rimpiango solo che sia morto nel 1840 e non nato 1870-1940 cosi da avere sue registrazioni
Music is very subjective - if you don't really feel this is "music", that's fine. But don't try to convince us that it isn't. Some of us enjoy the 24 Caprices not only as a show of technical mastery, but also as music in its own right. This is the same as my opinion of rap - I don't see how it's music (figuratively, of course), but others enjoy it as music all the same.
Culture is the ability of recognizing objective beauty. To define rap as "music" simply denotes scarce musical skills since it might probably be defined as a gender of art involving rhythm and poetry. Rap is rap, not music.
Our ear is a bad monster, as it gets easily used to any kind of rubbish, if only one lets it listening to it long enough; this is why knowing Pag is academically ok, but one should spend most time listening to real artist. Pag was a genial player, not a noticeable composer.
Well, music to some is not music to others. And there is no one artist that people "should" listen to. It is all a matter of personal taste, and the intent that the composer had.
rap is more than just rhythm and poetry. if u listen to good rap songs, there are very good examples of polyphony and complicated cord progressions, along with rhythm and lyrics. do you call that not music? bach composed stuff with 3 chords in an entire piece, so thats not music either?
what would u consider a real artist if you don't consider paganini one? what's your definition of real music?
so brahms writes good music, but paganini doesnt? maybe its just that you don't have a taste for pieces like this for solo violin. have u listened to wieniawski or heinrich ernst caprices, they are all similar to this stuff. do you consider that music?
have u heard the wieniawski violin concerto? its not that much different from bruch. i also like bruch better but wieniawski is just as good.
if u dont like paganini, then u probably won't like any of the advanced repertoire of violin. dont hate on something just because you dont understand it.
se non capisci la musica quando è suonata veloce è un tuo difetto ^_^ ..prova a suonare un qualunque capriccio a rallentatore e scoprirai una melodia eccelsa. . . . molti passaggi hanno una melodia che cresce al pari con la velocità d'esecuzione del pezzo...ti accorgerai che alcuni suoni possono venir fuori solo in quel modo..e combinati con la melodia esc fuori un musicista IMMENSO . . forse dici cosi perchè non riesci a suonare nulla di lui :)
Paganini was the first black metal musician when you think about it. He had long dark hair, dressed in all black, Was thought to have skills given by satan, and was denied burial on holy ground.
Every emotion...this is where it is at. This is what "it"is about...(2 me) Thank you Paganini, and what an awesome rendition! :) Great Post!!! 50*s.....
This guy is very musical but he sacrifices speed and histrionics for harmony and pitch accuracy. Gets too literal in his interpretation and whilst he plays the notes , he's just not exciting enough to make you swoon. Paganini would have made all the women wet their knickers by Caprice No.2. Much more volume swell dynamics required to play this at top level. Yep this guy is just not that good. You might think he's really into it but he's up his arse.
I actually find this interpretation to be quite lovely and emotional; I prefer it over any other. It makes my heart swell with warmth as I imagine various stages of romance, a new scene created with every new section he plays.
His heart is into it, and you feel it. Well, maybe you don't, specifically. But I do, and I love it.
Also anyone minds tellng me why doesnt his face any expression like theres no passion in his playing I know some of you think that since im the rocker guy here that Mintz over there should be head banging but no what I want to see is a face that shows what he fells like other masters of instruments like for example: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jordan Ruddess, Steve Vai, or Rick Wakeman.
The facial expressions vary. Some are absurdly dramatic, while others are stiller. Schlomo Mintz is average for facial expressions, but you can't base anything off that - you have to listen to the playing, and his is extremely passionate. Since you're the rocker guy, you should check out Die Erlkonig for violin.
Ok I don't want to offend your intelligence because you seem relativelly intelligent. Anyways I would say you're focusing too much on his face speccifcally, watch his over all body language. If you had ever played violin before, you would realize that playing the music, often forces the body to express what you are trying to communicate on an emotional level. And no offense he's probally trying to not screw up, paganini is very hard he doesn't have room to say "i should make facial expressions"
I actually got in here looking for the song that Yngwie Malmsteen basses one his guitar solos of (For those who want to check it its called Far Beyond the Sun) If anyone here know the real song plz tell me. I really enjoy the violin I want to learn how to play it after I finish learning how to play guitar and people dont start with the old "The guitar isnt a real instrument unlike the violin" thing. By the way if anyone has some other good violin songs plz tell id like to listen to them.
Does Mintz have some kind of a disability? I mean no offense.. but his expression always seems so.. aloof and out of touch, although his playing certainly doesn't sound like it. His renditions of the caprices are among my very favorites, but I always wonder what he's thinking as he plays.
Honestly, I have heard reports of his personal character that he is in fact a sometimes slightly conceited individual. Doesn't change the fact of his fantastic playing, but you should know that he has that tendency.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Great, he just plays too relaxed, sleepy and "civilian". Alexander Markov gives it the necessary "diabolic" passion - which is much more interesting and exciting
I don't think Paganini is necessarily supposed to be all crazy and "I'm so insanely good, look at how fucking virtuosic I am".... it also has that element but the real art to it is making it sound like opera because it is basically Italian opera executed on the violin.
That is a very ignorant statement. Like I said, it also has that element, however, any well educated violinist or violin teacher will say that the root of Paganini is opera. There is obviously no way to get around the fact that it is difficult and virtuosic, but I'm saying one should have opera in mind while playing Paganini. After all, it is music, not just pointlessly hard and technical exercises.
I see where this argument is going. It will come down to it being a matter of taste. Personally I'm a well educated violist (I went to Eastman) I've seen countless violinists try to play pieces that are too hard for them and justify their lack of technique by "emoting" in the fast passages. In my experience a true virtuoso can be musical without slowing down in the fast difficult passages. But don't call my statement ignorant simply because you disagree with it.
Fine, I can respect your opinion, and I feel stupid arguing, but I don't think you get my point. You seem to think that what I mean is that it should be played slower and more "emotional" and less clean as a way to justify its difficulty. On the contrary, I think it's more difficult to play it fast and clean and to add a level of musicality which clearly imitates opera so that it doesn't just sound like a robotic exercise.
I'm just impressed by the princely demeanor with which he executes these fiendishly difficult works, with nary a sign of self-indulgence or "showmanship"...

HOW THE HELL ARE YOU COMPARING HIM WITH MINTZ??
jasonform 2 years ago
Also anyone minds tellng me why doesnt his face any expression like theres no passion in his playing I know some of you think that since im the rocker guy here that Mintz over there should be head banging but no what I want to see is a face that shows what he fells like other masters of instruments like for example: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jordan Ruddess, Steve Vai, or Rick Wakeman.

The facial expressions vary. Some are absurdly dramatic, while others are stiller. Schlomo Mintz is average for facial expressions, but you can't base anything off that - you have to listen to the playing, and his is extremely passionate. Since you're the rocker guy, you should check out Die Erlkonig for violin.

Ok I don't want to offend your intelligence because you seem relativelly intelligent. Anyways I would say you're focusing too much on his face speccifcally, watch his over all body language. If you had ever played violin before, you would realize that playing the music, often forces the body to express what you are trying to communicate on an emotional level. And no offense he's probally trying to not screw up, paganini is very hard he doesn't have room to say "i should make facial expressions"

I actually got in here looking for the song that Yngwie Malmsteen basses one his guitar solos of (For those who want to check it its called Far Beyond the Sun) If anyone here know the real song plz tell me. I really enjoy the violin I want to learn how to play it after I finish learning how to play guitar and people dont start with the old "The guitar isnt a real instrument unlike the violin" thing. By the way if anyone has some other good violin songs plz tell id like to listen to them.

Does Mintz have some kind of a disability? I mean no offense.. but his expression always seems so.. aloof and out of touch, although his playing certainly doesn't sound like it. His renditions of the caprices are among my very favorites, but I always wonder what he's thinking as he plays.

He probably thinks about what's for lunch.

As a violinist I think of lunch too many times :p

Honestly, I have heard reports of his personal character that he is in fact a sometimes slightly conceited individual. Doesn't change the fact of his fantastic playing, but you should know that he has that tendency.

Interesting to know, but ultimately, it really doesn't make much difference. =)

O.o Is this how Paganini would have done it? Amazing
Stepdude 3 years ago
Probably only with a little more showiness to it. From all accounts Paganini was a bit of a showman on stage.

Great, he just plays too relaxed, sleepy and "civilian". Alexander Markov gives it the necessary "diabolic" passion - which is much more interesting and exciting

I don't think Paganini is necessarily supposed to be all crazy and "I'm so insanely good, look at how fucking virtuosic I am".... it also has that element but the real art to it is making it sound like opera because it is basically Italian opera executed on the violin.
zigeunerviolin 3 years ago
Actually it is supposed to be "look at how fuckin good I am" If you want to play opera sit in a pit and enjoy while the singers get all the accolades

That is a very ignorant statement. Like I said, it also has that element, however, any well educated violinist or violin teacher will say that the root of Paganini is opera. There is obviously no way to get around the fact that it is difficult and virtuosic, but I'm saying one should have opera in mind while playing Paganini. After all, it is music, not just pointlessly hard and technical exercises.
zigeunerviolin 3 years ago 2
I see where this argument is going. It will come down to it being a matter of taste. Personally I'm a well educated violist (I went to Eastman) I've seen countless violinists try to play pieces that are too hard for them and justify their lack of technique by "emoting" in the fast passages. In my experience a true virtuoso can be musical without slowing down in the fast difficult passages. But don't call my statement ignorant simply because you disagree with it.
violatione 3 years ago
Fine, I can respect your opinion, and I feel stupid arguing, but I don't think you get my point. You seem to think that what I mean is that it should be played slower and more "emotional" and less clean as a way to justify its difficulty. On the contrary, I think it's more difficult to play it fast and clean and to add a level of musicality which clearly imitates opera so that it doesn't just sound like a robotic exercise.
