Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 6, 1: Allegro maestoso, by Nathan Meltzer and Hiromi Fukuda, 26 January 2016. More at www.nathanmeltz...
I'm a young violinist too trying to learn Vieuxtemps, and when I heard this cadenza, I was blown away. I've listened to countless interpretations of the Sauret cadenza, and this is one of the best I've ever heard. AMAZING JOB YOU SOUND AWESOME
Quelle magnifique prestation Nathan !! Félicitations !! Je formule le souhait de vous entendre jouer ce superbe concerto avec orchestre.... En attendant un grand merci pour ce merveilleux partage. Bien amicalement. (Superbe cadence à la fin !! )
good morning, Nathan! What a great inspiration for me seeing you put your all into this iconic masterpiece. Tremendous achievement, Nathan, congratulations!
Wow you're absolutely incredible!!! You're a true virtuoso and your bow control is phenomenal. I have always been a fan of your playing and interpretations because of how passionate they are and this Paganini is no exception!!!!
so brilliant in the fast and virtuous parts, so powerfull in the accords, and so heart-going melodical in the slow parts, pure sound! it's a big pleasure to listen to your performance, you are so safe and sure in playing, you harvest the merits of your dilligent, honest and perennial practice on your technic and expression!
Had to come back and listen to this again 2 years later. Such amazing tone, technique, and precision. I even noticed that your 4th finger vibrato is extremely strong, and that's something I've always wanted to improve. Any tips on getting better at it?
Thanks, Justin. I think you definitely have to make sure the 4rth finger is in good position -- it needs to be flexible and a little curved and not tense and stretched. This video has some good suggestions: czcams.com/video/tyPtKIcr55k/video.html Hope it helps!
You just reminded me that I need to catch up with my scales haha! Honestly though, you must have magic running through your fingers! Your performance was great! Thanks for posting :)
Wow! you play this concerto so great! I love listening to your music. I've been playing the violin for 11 years but now my studies take me too much time so i can't really practice anymore. Seeing your impressive progression through years makes me jealous! ;) Congrats for your hardwork, I wish you the best for your future!
I like listening is great classical music especially the violin and was very nice hope you upload more videos and also hope you do not hurt your hands to keep you playing those beautiful melodies
Maybe in the future when I become better... but thanks for sharing quality music with the public! I'm sure you inspire many people to be involved with music! Keep up the good work!😁
I am coming back to see your wonderful work. Have not seen your recent work lately. I am sure you are growing in leaps and bounds, Hope to see a new piece soon. Have a wonderful week. Best wishes always
Hi! So great to hear from you!! I've been checking in on your family videos recently as well. They all make me so happy to hear!! Have a busy October and hope to get a recording from one of them up soon! Take care!! :)
que sentimiento! !! Junto a S. Mintz son las mejores interpretaciones q oí. Tienes virtuosismo, rapidez y el toque de sentimiento q le imponía Paganini, propio de la corriente romántica que seguía. Gracias por esta joya
listened to many of your recordings for a long time and it is sooo good everytime i listen to it. your passion inspired me to practice more! (your recordings helped me to prepare for my own auditions and others, especially bruch and kreisler) :)
That's amazing... I'm the same age as you and I have so much difficulties playing violin... But see your work has made me feel a lot better and motivated ! So keep the good work and thanks again for your videos ! :)
Both your intonation and expression are fantastic for someone of your age. Keep working hard. Have you read any of Leopold Auer's works? "Violin Playing as I teach it" is truly life-changing. I highly recommend it. He was one of Heifitz's instructors, and he himself studied under one of Boehm's students, and his pedigree goes back to Pugnani and Corelli.
¡Cada vez que río escuchando música es porque mi mente se eleva y no puede creer toda la belleza que está recibiendo! ¡Paganini por Nathan me hacen cosquillas y puedo reír desde dentro! Alegría genuina! Qué manejo de arco, Dios!!! Tocas las cosas más complejas para la mano izquierda con enorme dulzura!!! No puedo decidir cuál de tus dos manos es mejor!!! jajajajjaja! Genial!!!! Excelente Nathan!!!!
Las personas con innegable talento, y que trabajan tan arduamente (como tú), deberían recibir como mínimo una devolución a la altura y acorde a las circunstancias, justa y sincera, de todos nosotros quienes nos beneficamos con la enorme belleza que ustedes logran suspender en el aire. Sus esfuerzos no son en vano y siempre llegarán a buen término. Los agradecidos somos nosotros, Nathan!! Saludos y sigasembrando belleza y esperanza en el corazón de los hombres!!!! Saludos!!!
I have a strange habit of liking his videos before he even starts to play
Haha! Appreciate that! :)
Absolutely monster of a concerto! Bravo for tackling it and playing it so cleanly. And to also include the cadenza section, what an achievement!
What an amazing, young violinist! Just astounding ....
Thank you so very much!! :)
Wow ! Brilliant play ! A very wonderful piece ! You have grown so much musically Nathan ! It's always a pleasure to watch your performance
Great interpretation Nathan. You have a big future!

Simply beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing your music Nathan. Your parents are truly blessed!!
Thanks again for all your kind comments! :)
The cadenza is a masterpiece in itself!
Wow! Thanks so much!! :D
I feel inspired and defeated as an adult viola student.
Believe me... I know that feeling. Hang in there... and have fun! I think it's cool you're taking up the viola as an adult!! :)
I know doing tutorials is not your typical content, but if you ever made any I'd love them.
Thanks... if I could only find the time, I would actually really like doing something like that. Thanks for the encouragement to try something new! :)
Don't be defeated!
Absolutely beautiful!!
Amazing job to you as well as the pianist!!
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful performance with everyone~
Thank you! And yes, my pianist is amazing!! :)
Yup , it's official , you are the real Jedi Master !!! :)

Thanks so much, John! And I actually have that book on my shelves! I agree -- a must read!! :)
Fanstastic performance! I really enjoyed your cadenza, it was flawless!
Thanks so much, Marcus. I wish it was! :)
Nathan Meltzer Will you be taking part in the 2020 Menuhin competition? It would be really exciting to see you compete!
Thanks, Marcus! Not this year. The dates didn't work out as I am in Tel Aviv for a music program during the competition...
2020? You would be 20 years old right?
19... we'll see how the schedule works out... but thanks for the encouragement :)
