Wonderful musical performance!

[chiquitaviolin]

Bravo, Sasha!!!

Everybody who means he or she can it better, pls. put your video here!!!

Kugel is one of the best viola plaeyer in our time!!!

[Rinhos]

amazing!!!

[dilibau]

this is NOT how Hora should be played...for a Romanian like myself, this sounds awful, it's just a technical interpretation, not a REAL interpretation of Dinicu's masterpiece...

[pasinigiovanni]

My teacher, unique and amazing as usual... this video makes me very nostalgic about the wonderful time spent in the classroom...

[thbs35]

That was awesome.

How do you make your bow bounce?

Is it by lifting with your thumb?

[arterapsy]

the down bow doesn't sound..I know that he can do it but not here...there is an up bow eventually and this music is much faster...just because of the character I am telling u this

[leoncorpion]

i think that many violin players want to hear the viola playing faster , but if you take a viola in your hands you will find that the biger size of the instrument turn sometimes impossible to play so fast (with a viola 42 or 43 cms)cause the distances change ..............is easier with a very little viola(39cms) but not the same big sound..........

[casc0sio]

El 80% de los violistas son violinistas frustrados. (no lo digo por Kugel) sino por la comodidad que representa, por ejemplo tocar la viola en orquesta...La viola es más grande si, pero creo que el contrabajo y el cello lo son aun más....y nadie se queja de ellos.

de todos modos a mi no me importa tanto la rapidez, para eso están los asíaticos, destrozando obras maravillosas.Saludos desde España

[violistaluis]

violista frustado, lo seran otros y ese porcentaje no va así, mira cada instrumento tiene su dificultad, yo soy violista y te puedo decir que yo actualmente cogo un violín y hago virgerías, cogo mi viola y no es igual, es más fuerza, mas dificultad, mas sentimiento y en difinitiva mas bonito, ojo no quiero decir con esto que el violín no sea un instrumento precioso, solo decirte que la viola es un instrumento con más complicación del violín

[yamsters]

si. de acuerdo. pienso la viola es mas dificil que el violin.. yo tocue el violin.. pero ahora yo toco la viola y pienso es mas dificil.. la viola es mas grande .. y tenemos usar nuestros dedos mas porque la viola es mas grande.

[xujam]

@casc0sio si claro y el piano de cola es mas dificil de tocar que el vertical porque es mas grande, no vengas a hacer polemica estupida si no sabes nada, solo demuestras tu ignorancia. La cuestion de la viola no es porque sea mas grande, es porque las distancias no son acomodables para la mano izquierda para tocarse comodamente en el hombro, cada dedo no siempre cae perfecto uno detras del otro. Pero obviamente eso no es todo, tarda un año explicarte todo lo que no sabes, solamente cayate

[casc0sio]

@xujam JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA Punto Nº1para mandar callar, aprende a tocar algo; Paquete! y no te ofendas tanto, porque veo que aparte de ser un pardal, entras al trapo de la polémica.Me da igual que intrumento toques, aprende técnica y musicalidad. y si no sirves para la musica, no sigas pagando a profesores que te engañen diciendote el musicazo que eres...

Violistas Paquetes del mundo!!! seguid luchando!!!

[diemersonsena]

Hahahaaha, Whitout transcriptions, it is the same tune of the violin score

HOlly Molly No comments at all

[eckarteckart]

...breathtaking...staccati...n­ot only that, BUT ALSO MUSIC!!!

[1234viola1234]

Hm, i don't undersatnd one thing .... WHY do you play the viola? :)

[omgjaredscold]

what the fuck does that even mean?

[sashazemtsov]

You seem to be the one who understands how the viola should be played.

Examples???

[sergeypiano]

Sasha, I assume the question means why maestro Kugel plays viola instead of a violin. :-)

[sashazemtsov]

NO NO NO

THE message is addressed to my favorite music critic on the you tube 1234viola1234

After his comments on all Kugels videos I am desparate to hear what he has to offer.

[182278]

WOW... down bow staccato is so hard to perfect... wow.

[jaschenski]

The down-bow one is excellent.

[CesarBourguet]
