Sherlock <3

[pinkbananas21]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[TheLivingHeiromartyr]

I'd love to see the original music for this. And i'd love to see how the words "Vibrato", "Rubato" and "Espressivo" never appear. lovely piece anyway :)

[mllhartshorn]

@goonsupcha77 There is. His name is Arvo Part.

[onechildsband]

@mllhartshorn 100% agreed.

[edvsite]

Gives me chills...

[EMPERORMIKI]

My copy only says adagio ...

[mugi187]

Perfect

[ttamm777]

has some one see the musical note in his forehead? i have to stop drinking! XD

[dwayne515]

when it comes to technique, in what way was Bach different from someone like Paganini or Vivaldi?

[spookedbysuits]

reddit gave me a virus

[goonsupcha7]

How come theres no musical guinuses in the 21st century like bach or mozart? haveing one would be great

[sexenigmata]

The sound of the violin is like a lullaby-once heard,you can't sleep without it.

[BinocularWorld]

Oh, Jews. They really are blessed.

We miss you, Yehudi.

[welyafi]

defo wasn't playing this when the picture was taken!:p

[TheAntonkr]

Pretty dang hard for me (13y/o)

[darkmice1]

@TheAntonkr Another person talking about age... lets just enjoy the music shall we?

[ghostbear1000]

Nagyon erős,szenvedélyes előadás..

[Felix892]

that must have been what glenn gould meant when he talked about how bach was the pinnacle of "spiritual" music - i never got it before. absolutely amazing.

[0the00piano00hugger0]

@Felix892 fantastic comment! such sublime feelings it inspires!

thank you, and keep on keepin on!

[warwurm21]

Adagio "cantabile" ??? I doubt Bach wrote cantabile.

Thx for sharing

[anisometropie]

He didn't.

[shiveringflower]

The edition from which i learnt these ( Joachim and Moser ) contains a facsimile of the autograph score-this clearly shows only the word adagio.

[StradAmatiViolin]

@warwurm21 Yeah where did cantible come from? I don't hear singing type music here.

[gjalvesdesouza]

@warwurm21 yes you´re right its only 'Adagio'

[jujub95]

@warwurm21 i understand how cantabile can sometimes represent an "out-of-time-liberty" which can be taken, but in the metrical baroque era, I'm pretty sure it was just for the purposes of expression.... I am not disagreeing, but only sharing my opinion.

[MisterAlbertoPiano]

@warwurm21 Don't doubt it. He didn't write it at all xD.

[foxparkmusic]

@warwurm21 Perhaps the recording has it marked as such...according to the facsimile of the autographed manuscript, it is indeed only marked as "Adagio", if it makes you feel any better

[Bshow1212]

@warwurm21 There are a lot of artists that wrote their music differently during their time like Vivaldi, Bach, etc, but it had to be translated to a more generally understood way of writing it, which is the only reason I can think cantabile got thrown in lol.

[latinproject0021]

YAY! This is the piece I'm playing for my junior year for solo and ensemble! :DD

I'm so excited!

It's pretty dificult, but I think I can do it!

[soupisgreat]

That's the spirit! Go get em'!

[94022705320]

menuhin es y sera el mejor de todos en cantelena, los movimientos lentos son su especialidad, ES IMPRECIONANTE la caracterisitca que toma el para interpretar los movimientos lentos, simplemente ES EL MEJOR!!!!

[capnpayne]

you people are depressing

this is beautiful

[cici19820505]

sehr gut

[yanpan16]

i was just commenting on some one else's comment about the tempo, nothing about how he played or anything like that...

[billythekid20]

I was particularly referring to this movement of this sonata.

[mrmorganmusic]

Dated performance!  Give me something fresh and informed! Sorry, but this doesn't work!!!

[blichilde]

Vengerov, for instance?

Or Kennedy? Garret? Vanessa Mae?

[SuperSweetOda]

Yes, there is absolutely a trill at 40 sec. At least that is it says in my Edition Peters note :)

[billythekid20]

Milstein, Szryeng, Heifetz, Kriesler all play trill at that moment. But interesting enough, i found a verison on internet without trill.

[Kissfeet1]

@billythekid20 trills are writed by bach. but without any resolution...

[billythekid20]

@Kissfeet1 Could you please give me a link that contains the handwriting or a throughly same copy of Bach's piece that shows Bach really worte 40 second note as trill?

[Kissfeet1]

@billythekid20 Go to "imslp.org" and search for Bach Violin Sonatas, than click on Complete Score, Composer's manuscript! ;-)

[billythekid20]

isnt there supposed to be trill at 40th second?

[franmathonet]

he was 19 !!

[billythekid20]

good, heifetz's version is much better

[debartzen]

Al escucharlo se transciende el tiempo.

¡Con tan poco,tanto.!

-Es como si estuvieran aquí.-¡Oh,música de sobrecogedora grandeza.!

[smilinblue]

its so heavy.. what was being expressed when bach wrote this i wonder.. what was he feeling?

[sc457]

sounds like his bow is 5 feet long. love it

[billythekid20]

it actually is

[Davechord]

he actually plays with a mechanical wheel, haired on the inside and all he does is push a button to make it turn. what a poser.

[katastrofen6]

video not available?? what happened?

[Bogdan3lupi]

well this is above greatness!!

[asdfkathleen]

I'm currently playing this, and I plan to model after this sound.

Garsh, it's epic.

[skyblueearthgreen]

Can't touch this

[makihirotamina]

fantastic

[robwushu]

wow

he is amazing!

[theViolinDreamer]

master of soul.

[happpiday]

He is AMAZING...but is it really adagio cantabile? I thought it was just marked Adagio...

[yanpan16]

sometimes (especially with baroque pieces) it can be marked slightly differently depending on the edition you buy and which publisher it comes from, also because sometimes a few copies of the piece from that time have been found and so scholars are not always sure which tempo marking is the original intention of the composer.

[Yhrzor]

god

[musicaergosum]

And now it's in my playlist.

[musicaergosum]

Thank you very much for this Menuhin.
