Those pieces would have murdered me. Also, I did not know a violinist could bow AND pizzicato at the same time. I am now seriously reconsidering all the violin music I have ever heard where I thought it was two violins, because now I know, it could have just been one person this whole time. 🤯

      I just thought that, in the perspective of reading music, trombone sheet reading and brass in general is much more straightforward. Granted, it's been many years since I was in band but even barring the fact I only faintly recall what brass to treble/other clef transposing entails, I can't even faintly parse what's happening in that violin music beyond "notes go up and down", heh.

    • @retrops4261
      @retrops4261 Před 2 lety +20

      In some ways this order is subjective. But there is a progression of technique accumulation on display
      Simple bow, simple bow but slow (requires really understanding bow control), fast bow, adding harmonics, ultra fast spiccato, fast string crossings, double stops, ricochet, doublestop with complicated bowing, lyrical doublestop passages with faster bowing up high, awkward finger passages and shapes, left hand pizz, left hand pizz accompaniment during long sustained lines with and without doublestops and intricate melody.
      This last level (12) is quite accurate being listed top as the constant and often very subtle but extremely exacting pressure changes/ adjustments +coordination of the accompanying part (the left hand pizz) is unbelievably intricate and to pull off cleanly AND musically on top of that with some semblance of unique artistry, requires about 10-15years of extremely dedicated thoughtful and informed practice.
      I could get any student to level one (who practices) in about a year maybe less, depending on their dedication level and how often they take lessons. Further they could learn it in solidly in a couple weeks. Fully polished performance in one month.
      God save the queen on the other hand would probably take for a very advanced student first learning about 2months at least to learn and another 1-2 to polish to performance level (depending on repertoire load, maybe longer or shorter). (The shear length of the composition also figures into these calculations. (GSTQ) is I believe somewhere in the range of 10-14 min long.. a typical concerto mvt length.
