[Amarynthine]

2:44, makes it sound like a real flute, i bet it was on purpose

[DrMontague]

@Amarynthine Do Indonesia flutes sound horrible and shrill?!

[xchrisbobisx]

there is no way a violinist like markov would screw up those harmonics, i will just say its the crappy audio recording. because even in the beginning the audio sounded sub par.

[DrMontague]

I have this cocert in dvd quality, it's stil the same. I also have recordng of this caprice played by othe great violinists. Non have a scraping sound. It's not a mistake. I simply believe that he hit a dry spot on his bow and string.

[Chandrita86]

I have heard the last section played straight, with ponticello (aka the "horrid screechy scraping sound" as DrMontague put it) as well as with harmonics (Heifitz of course). Wish I had the extension to do the harmonics....

[DrMontague]

Harmonics are not indicated in the music. If that was supposed to be harmonics then I'm a Japanese Sumo wrestler.

i loveh ow this song starts out sweet then rips you apart then goes back to being sweet then rips you up in to pieces at the end

[cchengviolinist]

his double stops are superb!!!BRAVO!!!!!

[juglarlocogmail]

wtf !

[Amarynthine]

how about a CREATIVE performance? excellent don't always mean squeaky clean

[Amarynthine]

@DrMontague PLUS, I don't think he's just playing to sound "nice", that's why music needs imagination, all depends how the interpreter perceives it

[Amarynthine]

@DrMontague I was thinking ship whistle or steamboat whistle...

peace...

[Flaminggential]

just want to point out ..he needs better bow control on the D + G string double stops ..teh bow was sliding all over the place to the finger board..n then harmonics.. i think his bow was way too close to the bridge it make it ponticello

[VietFiddle]

I believe that it is intentional.

He bows very closely to the bridge, very slightly pressing down, and moving the bow accross the strings. Applying 3 obove techniques, the scraping sound is easily generated.

Between 2 sentences of scraping sound, he plays a sentence of true acoustic sound, that produces the echo effect, as if someone echoes the same sentence from a far distance.

Big musician Markov!

[Kurtyoungblood]

2:44 so on purpose.
