You mean Erick Friedman? I believe he passed away, has he not?

[Johnoooh]

he would be a great teacher, he would bring up virtuoso's he seems like a genuinly nice person but he seems like very strict and knows what he wants.

beautiful piece! i would be extremely nervous playing before heifetz. *shudder*

The level at which Heifetz plays at starting around 2:05 is so much higher than this top-notch student it is almost unbelievable. While the student is playing notes on the page, Heifetz is playing MUSIC.

@DualThunder Not necessarily true. Teachers do do masterclasses on pieces they haven't learned or performed themselves if a student comes in with it. Typically they still have a lot of advice to offer even if they haven't played the piece for themselves.

Of course, I'm sure Mr. Heifetz was "familiar" with both Wieniawski Polonaises.

@ArhkXi teachers dont do masterclasses on pieces they dont know

[ArhkXi]

I bet Jascha was sight reading and still was able to make proper musical demonstration on the violin.

Varujan Kojian did so very well if you ask me...I'd have been too frozen to play even one note Also there's the final video now on youtube where he plays the Bach Chaccone in the masterclass and he does fantastic in the 2nd half of it.

[kleineschutter]

.... I can't believe this guy... why does he even dare to play in front of him? He can't play the tempo steadily! come on, that's one of the basics no? get a metronome
