  • @davocellist120 I think maybe it's because she's short? Like maybe her arms are shorter than usual so she holds the bow a bit higher than normal... I don't know but every time I see her play it gets crazier and crazier!

  • @lkpp90x Totally agree!! :)

    

  • Ah, she plays "soo bad" , that must be the reason why she has so much success! Please, do it better then.

  • You are asking if Ms. Weilerstein is the "new" Jacqueline du Pre'? No,never.

  • @warandcheese Closed fingers = starker-esque, believe me. her pinky, yeah no starker there, lots of movement, not starker either. close fingers....thats what i said

  • @jwunschie14 hm....dont see much starker there believe me :)

  • yo yo ma is soooo much better than this

  • @lkpp90x it seems to be an interesting mix between starker and piatigorsky methods. closed concentrated fingers as a unit as starker teaches, yet total flexibility and control in the fingers rather than the wrist, as piatigorsky teaches. everyone's different!

  • I have to say I'm most definitely a fan of her Kodaly interpretation. The biggest thing about her playing (whether you like her style or not) is that it stands out. I mean, you did just watch this video of your own free will, didn't you?

  • @wfholch It does'nt really make sence to listen to the music, when half of it is missing, does it?!
