I know it's been a year since I first saw this video but I'd like to, somewhat belatedly, thank you very much for the 'free' exercises you provide from Yanshinov, Sevcik and others. I've been using them and have noticed vast improvements in my technique and intonation not to mention just plain enjoyment in playing better than previously so. Again, Thank you, Daniel. - Mark from Australia.
I just stumbled across your channel. After almost 20 years, I decided to start playing the violin again when my young son decided he wanted to play. I was a performance/education major in my younger years, studying with Fredell Lack and Kenneth Goldsmith. I am very rusty, but practicing. After finding your channel, I subscribed, downloaded all your free content, and purchased your “64 Practice Hacks” book. Thank you for the great content.
Thanks so much Ivan! I hope it's going well. Good luck to you and your son. It's wonderful that you will go on that journey with him. Contending with music and the violin activates the brain and soul in a way nothing else will...
The PDF download was malfunctioning! It's all fixed now. Sorry about that. If you downloaded before this comment, do grab it again, as it includes my bowing variations.
Thank you so much! My written Russian is not nearly good enough to do proper translation. I would love to have Russian subtitles! I am definitely looking at ways to make this happen.
@@DanielKurganov Hi Mr. Kurganov,I hope you can PLEASE respond to my comment about a squeaky sound on the E string and intonation when you can. Thanks very much.
I still can't get over the tone of your violin. While you earned your money honestly, and bought it fair and square, that violin, short of a violin aged over two to three centuries ( we all know the names I'm referring to) your luthier (Andrew Ryan) made you (and many others) wonderful works of art that in today's world are so much to be appreciated and pointed out. I know I've said all of this before on other uploads about your violin but it cannot be overstated that it really is a wonderful instrument and you do it justice, working together as a team, and doing it so well. Appologies for my verbosity but when I hear that, violin and you, I feel the need to put my i'nner gut' feelings down. Thanks again for all your lessons, uploads et al. Mark - Australia.
Dear Daniel, thank you so much for your priceless videos! Amount of information in every video equals the years spent on practicing and finding the best solutions! Thank you for the 6 Etudes! What a treat! Спасибо от всей души!!!🎻💖
Beautiful so melodious etude. I have subscribed to your CZcams lessons. Thank you so much for your lessons and free music sheets. I am 81 years old my meditation is my violin which makes me forget all my worries. I live in Kerala State in India. I am with you.
Daniel I can't thank you enough for providing quality resources for new violinists. I plan to contribute to your cause in the near future. Again, thank you for all you do and for the masterful playing and teaching.
4:33 - that 15th measure - the best place to stop and spend some quality time :D - thanks for the video anyway, now this and the 3rd one is my dailies!
I started my violin lessons 7 months ago and am currently playing Wohlfhart Op 74. I find these tips really helpful and can apply to other etudes. Thank you for sharing!
What I am hearing is 'Play by ear' and it is great advice. What can be even more powerful and direct is to play a vocal melody by ear and compare what comes out of your instrument with your vocal rendition until you find the natural expressive tools available on the instrument which imitate the voice. Music looks square on the page in modern editions, it is fascinating to compare a Bach manuscript for example to a modern edition and to see how much more information is given by by Bach, particularly in his beaming, than survives the modern engraving process. Just found this channel, loved the presentation and, as a guitarist, found a lot of great ideas to translate to that instrument. Thanks !
Sir. You are a Professor in violin school. So good are your lessons and demonstrations playing melodious etudes. Thank you from your student in Kerala a state in India.
Wonderful video and etudes! I've been enjoying working on them this past week and I was so happy to see this video with even more possibilities. They are so beautiful to play. Thank you, Daniel!
If you don't mind, I will start using "Swiss notes" as a description of notes that are neither here nor there. I gave a lesson just yesterday and my adorable, talented young student played some "Swiss notes" and I told her that those notes were "lukewarm," neither hot or cold. I think "Swiss notes" is a more apt description. Thank you!! Great instructional video, as always!!!
Thank you Professor for these numerous Masterclass in one time! I will send it to my Professor in France who is also very creative in her courses and will adapt for me what you explained. Our favorite method this year was Sevcik 40 variations but you added to it colors and vibrato intuition (according to tonal or dominant but also to personal choice of interpretation). You are explaining very good the fingers articulation of left hand and you added vibrato to this. One teaching missed to me is the place of the bow to the bridge and how to manage it when we want loud or not and for harmonics too. But this video will be usefull for me a long time and open a lot of windows in music, art of bow and left hand. Please would you mind the title of your 64 études
I'm going to make all my students who are intermediate and above play this (after I give it a few more days' work myself!) I think they will enjoy and get many things from it, just as I am.
Hi Daniel, this video is very very helpful and I have practiced the first etude quite a bit. I wonder if a Part 2 is coming to cover off the remaining 4 etudes? Thanks!
Hi, i found your tutorials are like good teaching methods, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Its a beautiful etude and seems can be learned, i was wandering if you can play the all minute of the Etude 1 to help for who struggles to read music quickly. Thank you that would be much appreciated
Elbow height in detache mostly depends on where in the bow you are playing detache. In general, I advise a lower elbow in most situations, including standard detache. The elbow needs to create a feeling of 'hanging weight' that is transferred via the index finger into the string.
As you point out, this study obliges us to concentrate on the differing positions of the semitones on the different strings (high-2, low-2, high-3, low-3 etc.). As I understand it (via Google translate!) the note on the bottom of the first page of these studies confirms this objective: "Pure intonation in violin playing depends, in addition to hearing, mainly on attentive working in all positions on semitones, diminished and augmented fifths, and diminished seventh chords (in all keys). The present studies in 1st position are built mainly on the above intervals. The player must be able to freely apply in these studies both the upper and lower fingerings."
After further contemplation, I realise that I can take these ideas into most of what I practice anyway. The masterclass is a template for practicing. So there is no need for another live time. Given these tools, I'll use the partial one that I do have left well. Thank you, Daniel, as always, for the inspiration.
@@DanielKurganov PLEASE HELP Why am I hearing a very thing high pitched squeaking sound when switching froma. Note on the D string to an open E string?y finger is not in the way touching the E string and the bow is touching flat on the string. Is there a defect somewhere. .insanely frustrating..
Amazing channel, way too advanced for my level but it motivates a lot the passion the details...and that voice un Russian sounds so different from English hahaha
Dear Daniel thank you so much for all your videos, my struggle is I have practiced exercise, but the scales go back like the fingers are bit different, futher, my fingers cant stretch wider , I am about grade 3 , my intonation is not accurate , my teacher want to put the tape on the fingers board, it confuses me when there is no markers on violin in the future
Hello Daniel, pls what cameras and microphones did you use to shoot your video please? If you don't mind, may you send me the links for your sound and media effects. Thanks for inspiring a beginner like myself. Many thanks
@@DanielKurganov are those etudes hard? I really hope you can please respond to my other message about vibrato and intonation when you can. Thanks very much.
I always use your good advices and I have a question; How an intermediate violinist can create a list of music to practice. I want to enrich my repertoire (I played Suzuki book series). But finding new music to practice is alway hard for me that in this pandemic don't access to a local teacher. Thanks for your awesome videos, performs, comments, and books.
You go through the keys, but where's the intonation ? Keys only matter to tell you where to put your fingers in the event of augmented tones. Because it's not a tempered instrument, a C# leaning into a tonic d Will always be at a higher pitch than a c-sharp major scale with the same c#. Leading tones are always higher on the violin and also with vocalists. It is accentuates the need for resolution. But what good is it to call out the keys if your fingers do not play in tune ?
So, the key and its function in a given progression/moment in the music will often give you clues (or at least options) as to where expressive notes can fall. It’s not just about intervals. At the end of Franck Sonata movement 3, the violin’s Eb-D-C# is placed based on the underlying harmony for maximum expressive effect. The Eb modifies the D, as we have a diminished harmony moving to D7. Then, F# minor comes as a surprise, and likewise, the violin’s C# is not really related to the Eb-D. That allows you to do what the F# minor in that context wants, which is a lower C#. So, “keys” (harmony) will always give you clues about how to place expressive notes. Thinking of leading tones is a start but it’s not enough. There is an intimate relationship between placement of melody and underlying harmony.
Yes I use the Pirastro chinrest. I wouldn't get it if I had to pay full price :) it's great because it's light; that's the main reason. I use a Kreddle chinrest currently.
So like are these etudes like sheet music? Or sort of like scales? How do I know what run to practice to begin with? Sry, I’m self taught and just don’t understand what is obvious to some.
Hi Daniel, I have a question about applying/ auditioning to music university from the perspective of someone who only seriously started practicing violin at around age 16. That was almost two years ago for me, and I turn 18 in less then a month. With only these couple years, I am trying to go to a good university to pursue my career in music. Since you also started late, how did you get into a good school of music with only a couple years of preparation? There are a few schools I think I could get into with very experienced faculty, but I would also be genuinely interested in hearing how you navigated this problem as well. Thank you so much!
That's so exciting to hear! It's hard to give you any specific advice because I don't know how you play and what options are open to you in general. I can tell you that shortly after I started to play (16.5), I was very inspired by violinist Ilya Kaler and was studying with him and his wife by the time I entered conservatory with them officially. So I didn't shop around for schools or anything like that (I didn't know anything about those things anyway). I knew something about what I liked in terms of violin, and I could play decently, so it was enough to decide my dream is "realistic", and "these are the teachers I should follow" at the time. So, I guess I would say find mentors/teachers who can guide you, someone you trust to oversee your work if you really commit to this. Unfortunately even that's not a guarantee, as I had a major falling out with my undergrad teachers, and they actively tried to sabotage my studies/career. But I think that's bad luck :) so the advice still stands. It'll be hard for you to do this without a mentor or someone to guide you. e.g. someone that knows how you play, knows the violin world somewhat, knows how to assess the teachers you're considering, and can give you "real talk", because even if you're wildly talented like I was, you'll still have no idea about gauging expectations and calibrating career goals. Hoping for the best for you and let me know if you need help. DK
@@DanielKurganov Hi Daniel, I hope you can share aftwr two days of not practicing my vibrato is harder to produce..why after just two days would it be harder? It's just frustrating and discouraging..any tips on how to not lose it even if you don't practice for a few days? Thanks and really hope to hear from you.
I apologise upfront, its a little of topic forgive me. Which brand are your glasses? (I wear Lindberg "Titanium Spirit"). Thought a lot before asking, sorry again. P.s. I am a subscriber ;)
Yes, I love all things audio/video production. I do all of my own producing and editing, and I also run a classical record label and do all of the engineering for that. The tripod is one of those beastly manfrotto varieties. Cheers!
@@DanielKurganov Champion! It's fantastic to see classical musicians embracing other areas of technology as expressive and creative tools. Love your work mate.

Because it's not a tempered instrument, a C# leaning into a tonic d Will always be at a higher pitch than a c-sharp major scale with the same c#.

Yes, I love all things audio/video production. I do all of my own producing and editing, and I also run a classical record label and do all of the engineering for that. The tripod is one of those beastly manfrotto varieties. Cheers!
@@DanielKurganov Champion! It's fantastic to see classical musicians embracing other areas of technology as expressive and creative tools.
Love your work mate.
What is the thing on you chin rest?
