@ocramizz did you listen to Heifetz performance? I think you should listen hora staccato by Heifetz.
He really was the best violinist ever.
(Sorry, my english is like Ferras: making serious mistakes.)

I'm thinking or citing this video for my research paper. What was the original source of this video?
-
Why would the camera angle focus on the left hand?

It sounds a little as if he has trouble keeping pace.

As amazing of a violinist as he is, I do not like his rendition of Hora Staccato. It seems a little tense, aggressive, and it sounds he is actually having trouble playing some of the parts. My favorite recording of Hora Staccato has to be Michael Rabin's. His playing has no extra sounds (hitting extra strings, scratchy sounds on connected notes), and I believes sounds better and smoother than even the great Heifetz's recording.

Hora Staccato! STACCATO!!!! Just 1 T!

@callasnuts No I don't! There is a video on youtube called the "Horror Staccato" on youtube. It's played by a young man who has the best bow control that I have ever seen. Check it out. He plays it way better than Heifetz. There is also a youtube recording of Grigoras Dinicu himself playing this piece, also mindblowing.

So refreshing, a performance of Hora Staccatto that doesn't sound mechanical and is full of insight!!! Ah Christian, why did you have to leave us so soon.
