Hmm, well this guy is, Isaac Stern, is one of the legends of the violin. He has (had) some of the most musical intelligence you'll ever see. The rhythm changes are merely bits of rubato, this piece was not written for the intention of being played in a linear manner, rhythmically speaking. And surely being a musician you know what rubato is.

"This guy?" Do you even know who "this guy" is? I suppose not, it seems as if you're a trumpet player.

When I play violin I always keep my eyes trained on the other members in my group or take a glance at the music to remind myself of the next section.
You shouldn't be needing to rely on visually seeing your violin after a while.

This performance is recorded in 1979 during Mr. Stern's first visit of China ( from the Documentary of Mao and Mozart) He was 59 years old at that time. in 1999, Mr. Stern revisited China after 20 years and found some of his old friends he met during his first visit and recorded the same piece again. which can also be found at youtube

@yinlin89 he doesn't tilt his head but he will look at his hands with his eyes in that position.


Hey guys , do you realise something special about Isaac Stern when he plays the violin ? He never looks at his violin whenever he plays , his eyes will always be at the audience , unlike other violinist .

Thanks Yinlin for sharing your video. I have this performance on vhs, however, it is annoying to search the tape for the segments that Stern is playing in.
