Heifetz Masterclass Session 2, part 5

[stringsattached8998]

This blonde guy is the best in class so far, which is not saying much

[aimson]

"You are panicky and very confident at the same time." Insightful comment and totally summed up what I was sort of thinking about the student from the very beginning. Of course, to put things in perspective, I feel for the student because I used to have the problem of not playing with enough bow. Actually, I probably still do, hah.

Blond guy was totally not taking the instruction, not sure if it was outright or if he was nervous.

awww...i feel sooo sorry for him; hes trying his best(punctuated by little smiles when he gets it right) but Heifetz just keeps knocking him down but i guess thats what teachers are for(to help you get better, not to spend time telling you what you've done well)

[unclejuniorsoprano]

Compared to someone like Joshua Bell or Nigel Kennedy, this boy plays well. Compared to Heifetz, the best you can be is 2nd rate. He is rushing & playing with short bows because he's very nervous. He sounds like he in a big hurry to get somewhere. Heifetz always played briskly but his playing never sounded rushed. He used full bows & his tornadolike tone complimented his brisk tempi. This is, perhaps, the best example of violin teaching I have ever seen. MORE BOW-- that is the message.

BRAVO!

@unclejuniorsoprano

More bow is something Ivan Galamian used to say many time to hes students.

[unclejuniorsoprano]

@AntaresCortinas Yes, you are absolutely right. Galamian used to tell his students that quite a lot. But no one can say MORE BOW, MORE BOW as Heifetz said it. Even in his teaching, Heifetz was truly unique.

[yajuwenn]

He's a REALLY big fan of rushing

[coporofrito]

You can really tell when Heifetz starts playing.

I was on a different tab when I heard him start playing, there really is a major difference

Thanks for the post waxenwings89. Wonderful.!!!!

It amazes me how Heifetz could jump up from his

desk, and without any warmup at all, play like that.
