7:25-7:30 is amazingly hard to play clearly at that speed

[jiniclowe]

No, the speed is just right

[plagalcadenze]

Superb playing as expect by Heifetz. Shame about the picture.

@SkrPchr3 I think you have to draw a distinction, classical music is fundamentally different from all contemporary music from jazz to the modern era. There is a real distinction. Most great composers would be considered incredible geniuses by impartial standards, they slaved and used massive amounts of musical theory knowledge to make intricate pieces. Heifetz (or any other classical musician) had to practice for near a dozen hours a day, the same can't be said for rap or pop artists.

This video would have been better without the crayon drawings.

@calloffthedogs I know this comment is over 2 years old...

I wouldn't say "classical" music is a dying breed any more than any art is a dying breed. It's just not "popular.

Heifetz is known as a violinist; so it's perfectly understandable that he wouldn't be as well known as a composer. You could say the same thing about David Brodsky.

It's not more rational to say that "classical" music is losing to rock than it is to say gourmet food is losing to mcdonalds. They're totally different things.

@andrewsun

Yes. I miss those harmonics a lot of the time.

Perhaps it's that run from low e to high e right before

[andrewsun]

@mindtrackeryun24 Yea I noticed it too. But don't you think Heifetz's modification is less risky than the original?

[mindtrackeryun24]

@mindtrackeryun24

never mind

i figured it out
