-
OMFG! what was that?
-
lol, I wish, then I would busy been rich and famous instead of posting on youtube. Try taking a look at those etudes, and you'll see what I mean. If you thought Paganini was difficult, you are in for a huge shock. Paganini himself would get a heart attack if he saw the music to that.

@SkrPchr3 I think u're Irvine Arditti hahaha
-
And speaking of difficult pieces, listen to Irvine Arditti's recording of Cage's Freeman Etudes. These pieces make Paganini look like a joke. Arditti might just be the only player in the world who can go that fast, and he's only one of two people in the world who has ever dared to record it.
Now, does Arditti have the best technique? Hard to say. I'm sure there are errors in his recordings, but they are so difficult that it's impossible for me to tell by listening.

This is a balance between speed and accuracy. Kavakos is far from perfect, but he basically said "Alright, I'll live with these errors because I want to go faster." Another violinist (like Accardo) might say "I'll slow down a bit so I could minimize the mistakes." It's a balance.
And remember: this is a cadenza. There is no set tempo. You slow down and speed up as you will. Kavakos slows down too, just like others, but that's not an indication of technical limitations.

@SkrPchr3 Actually no I'm not underestimating their technique. Paganini is still wickedly difficult even by today's standards. This is why the people who play Paganini really well tend to be specialists. You won't hear Bell, Hahn, or many other top violinists playing this stuff.
And yes people slow down in virtuoso music because they lack the technique to play at tempo. That's what makes this video so great. Find another Sauret cadenza played at tempo. Oh wait! You can't!
