Whereas Uncle Sam tells you to join the US Army, that photo of Heifetz up there is saying, "YOU need to go practice".

This is really amazing, and breathtakingly beautiful.

I think Milstein is better

i like how the most thumb'd up comment is about the picture and not about his playing.... cough

No, not "anyone" can play "whatever music they want" because they have the determination to practice. I agree that many, many people, many more than I think is generally realized, could develop good technique if they practiced diligently. But _fine_ technique is rarefied air, and so is interpretation of this depth. There are certain nuances that just cannot be taught. They have to be intuited

@Lactoris1 That was a insult.. Milstein was a excellent violin, and his playing was so different from Jascha Heifetz but equal. Jascha Heifetz, was great aswell but he required all his students to go to Milstein concerts. You do not compare violinists, at all especially if theyre classical. US violinists and many more should have respect for us.. WERE all different but we still have respect for each other. THAT is a number 1 rule you should know. So i better not see a comment like this again

Szeryng- Bach: partita n°3 Preludeby petrof405633,564 views
his notes are more pronounced but his phrasing pales in comparison to milstein...

I highly disagree with you. Listen again but this time think about the breadth (not depth) of phrasing. Let me explain. There are different lengths of phrases, some contained within others. I agree that Milstein brings out more of the micro details of the shorter phrasies. In a way I feel more of the depth you probably hear. However, Heifetz brings out more of the macro details of longer phrases. When I "stand back," I enjoy Heifetz's phrasing more, when I move in close, I prefer Milstein's.

Here is another example of what I mean. Take the Tchaikovsky concerto in D and compare Heifetz to Oistrakh. I personally feel more moved by Heifetz because he brings out more of the sorrow, excitement, and élan of the piece. In analogy, the color, hue, and emotional content of a painting. When I hear Oistrakh, I am more amazed by the individual characteristics of the phrasing. In the above analogy, the fine details of a painting. Does this make sense? Something to think about.

@aimson This sounds a lot like the violinistic equivalent of a comparison between the cellists Mstislav Rostropovich and Daniil Shafran--Rostropovich focused on making larger gestures while Shafran specialized in tiny changes in a piece that had great overall effect. Is this more or less what you're trying to get at?

@C0urante Well, I'm not sure what you exactly mean by "larger gestures" and I have never heard of Daniil Shafran, but I think you are close to what I was talking about. I'll try to give another analogy. Imagine being up in two different airplanes touring Alaska. In the first flight, you are higher in the air and have a chance to see the full landscape, patterns of snow, color of the horizon, etc. It has a certain beauty to it as your eyes take in all of the stimulus.

@C0urante Now, in the second plane, you fly closer to the ground but still high in the air. This time you can see the types of trees, the animals foraging, and the different textures of snow and ice. It also has a certain beauty to it, but more in the details. However, the trade-off to flying closer to the ground is that you miss seeing the beauty of the larger view in the first plane. For me, Heifetz is like flying both planes at once, where other violinists are like flying the second plane.
