I've never done that "move the bow towards the bridge, towards the finger board" thing and I've been playing for over 5 years. What exactly is your reasoning behind that?

[professorV]

Scroll down to racoon3434's question, it's about the same - Then try it out!

[violin2tor]

Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... for being here... i'm learning alot from you! God bless you!

[professorV]

You are welcome!

[rakoon3434]

why should you move away from the bridge on the accents near the end?

[professorV]

Hi, the accents will require more bow speed than what you were just using (at the bridge) and that will create a scratchy tone if you stay at the bridge. Move away from the bridge for bow speed, towards the bridge for bow weight (with a slow bow). Try it out several ways and see what you hear. TE

violin is the hardest instrument I've ever come across so far...

I have been working on the No. 2 Partita Giga (Bach) and my left hand is clamping so bad. This week it's the no. 8 Wohlfahrt for sound and realization that I don't need a "thumb" to play violin. I just now played the Allemande and before I finished my thumb was pressing.  I need something like George Antheil, Charles Ives, Bartok, ... something where I don't have to play music that's pretty.

What's your take on the thumb issue? Have you seen it before?

[BugsWisely]

I cannot get over the art on your walls. I am mesmerized. Thank you for all the great material. In the beginning of Carl Flesch's book on violin playing is a preamble written by Anne Sophie Mutter which says there is an ancient German proverb that goes something like: What little Johnny doesnt learn young little Johnny will never learn. Alas i will never learn to play the violin. Why did i bother trying?

hey professor if I finish the Wohlfahrt Op. 45 is this really helpful?

[SkyXCloud23]

I think I had read that son file' in Galamian's book Principles of Violin Playing and Teaching... oh yeah it was on page 103 of that book, now that you showed it how, it made me more easier to understand. So thanks a lot for posting this video!

Seriously, this has helped so much you have no idea. I had no Idea how much sounding point would be involved I'm so glad I watched this video!

I've actually practiced sounding point and I'm really glad that their is a piece that has it. I'm so glad I purchased this study book, It has everything a violinist needs for growth!

[jantigercat]

I tried playing this etude today but I kinda got a bit frustrated doing the dynamics because I didn't know about the in and out of the bridge technique!

Thank Prof V for this video it helped a lot!
