Leopold Auer - Melody ("Souvenir d'un lieu cher") (Tchaikovsky-Wilhelmi)

[fidicen73]

@NRob84 (1 year ago) Shin'ichi Suzuki did his formal violin training in Germany under a famous violin teacher and performer Karl Klingler, himself a pupil of Joachim. Auer also had his most significant violin teaching from Joachim.

If you research 'who-taught-who' in the violin world you can trace the line from Joachim back to Corelli in the 17th century. My teacher was taught by Suzuki himself in Japan - there is a lot of interconnectivity in music across the continents and the centuries.

[KosteckiAdam]

Wow!!!!

I hope this less-vibrato, less bow pressure, sweeter tone approach in violin makes a comeback soon. not to histrionic, not too blindly intense, more tempered and subjective.

[2ndviolinist]

@jin12345678 Don't hold your breath. I would also be happy, but no demand, no teachers in the style. Just be glad the recordings still exist. BTW notice how much more beautiful this playing is than Heifetz', his, unfortunately, most famous student.

[An0niempje]

@2ndviolinist Why do I see you in EVERY video related to the violin talking about how bad Heifetz is? Even if nobody mentioned him (yet).

I don't mind people disagreeing with me, everyone has the right of his own opinion, but you really are obsessed by this subject. Please explain where that fierce hate comes from or just stop talking about it.

[2ndviolinist]

@An0niempje Maybe to offset the multitudes of rabid Heifetz fans. You have no penchant for hyperbole, do you?

[An0niempje]

@2ndviolinist I also dislike the people that declare any artist a god or something, but that doesn't stop me from giving them the respect they deserve. And if your posts where only exaggeration and not your actual opinion, what do you really think and why do you think your posts help calming down Heifetz worshiping retards?

[2ndviolinist]

@An0niempje I just don't know when to shut up. I can't imagine Heifetz fetishists ever changing, too well brainwashed. Heifetz is on a much, much higher level than Ding Dong (Joshua Bell) Nauseating Salerno-Sonnenbitch, or Yo Ma-MA, so I give them credit for some real taste. Oh no, now I've offended another large segment of music lovers. I have played with all the above so the descriptions (borrowed) are not for strictly musical reasons.

Awesome! TY P.

[57classic1]

My Father's distant cousin Kathleen Parlow was a prodigy of Leopold Auer and a virtuoso in her own right.

After it is over, the music!

[pochetta1]

sometimes I think you are right

[davidgee100]

I will ask my wife for Auer stories from Zetlin.

DG

[pochetta1]

it would be priceless, thank you

[davidgee100]

My wife studied violin with Emanuel Zetlin, who was a pupil of Auer, and I maintain that this is the best bow tradition for violin in history. There is a real difference.

[pochetta1]

Thank u for commenting! May be Mr.Zetlin tokd to his pupils something interesting about his professor? I try to write his biography, it is important for me.

[2ndviolinist]

@davidgee100 In general I prefer the tone produced by the German and Franco-Belgian styles over the Russian. Certainly superior to the Flesch and more modern claw grip popular today.

[davidgee100]

@2ndviolinist Well, there are other schools, of course. This one was substantial, though and thankfully we can see this in the students on you tube and other video locations.

[michaelhegeman]

Thank you for posting this video!

[beeteep60]

[pochetta1]
