- It's time to answer more questions! I picked some that I thought I could give pretty quick answers to, and still some of the answers took me a while. I talk about looking at your hands vs closing your eyes while playing; about that cloth attached to my chin rest and what it's for; about how much you should practice, and whether you rely on your teacher or on yourself to make improvements (spoiler alert, you have to make the changes yourself!); I talk about the importance of playing contemporary music, and my recent experiences playing Bach with a baroque bow.
I mention two subjects a little bit about which I want to make Ask Augustin videos soon to go more into detail: ways to break three-note chords, and tips harmonics tips. I'll also make upbow staccato and spiccato videos soon.
Stay (in)tuned! - Hudba

Augustin, I discovered you recently. In the beginning of the year, I got back into playing violin after quite a long hiatus (12+ years). At one point, it was a dream of mine to play in an orchestra. I started taking lessons and play in a local Philharmonic now. I would love to play chamber music and incorporate more music into my life. I recently posted a few videos of myself for the first time - it is so exposed and unforgiving - but a great exercise nonetheless. I played a little Brahms and a few movements of Telemann Canonic Sonatas. I have never put enough time into practicing but I am chipping away. I would have never posted videos if not for the social distancing. You have become an inspiration. You are truly a master of the violin and I am moved by your playing. Your technique and expression are incredible. Thank you for sharing your work. It often brightens my day. -Ashley
I love these videos! 😍 Thank you so much! ❤
"Look at your fingers". Heifetz told me while he was teaching me. I had habit of closing my eyes when performing.
Shoulder rest was no no to all Heifetz students. Your mentioning practice 7,8 hours a day some period of your life is enlightening. Hard work pays.
I think no shoulder rest was a habit of Auer and all his students

부족하지만 내연주는 유튜브에 simon young kim 으로 있습니다.
Well... Heifetz kinda looked like he had neck cramp all the time tho.
Thank you for your accessibility! Your wisdom, grace, and candor are welcome, and I for one am very grateful.
Thanks much for teaching us the nuances of harmonics...pressure of bow and speed coordinating with fingering pressures along with its releases during a slide releases. I'm working on Sarasate Zapateado...I'm stuck for 15 min. each day out of 30 min of my practice time on the fast harmonics, LOL. although I'm playing the violin as a hobby; but at least I'm following your advise to try to practice a little bit each day after work....will try your tips on harmonics later tonight. Stay healthy! from your fan, Tony
adding a comment to increase your popularity and to write thank you for your time and video, excellent explanations, it did help me so much!
Thank you Augustin!
simple and straight to the point. ended up learning a lot. Thank you for this.
would be awesome if you keep doing this after this situation ends.
That was super interesting, thank you very much !
4:30 Schumann's phrase is awesome!!
as a musician, I aspire, someday, to be able to promote good contemporary music and give the general audience some encouragement and insights so that they can appreciate the hidden jewels of new music, and achieve a good criterium to see which of the new music pieces is a true masterpiece :)
recording ones self as you mentioned is very helpful
Grate answers from Grate person!!!

Hi Augustin, great motivational video. Could you please share your thoughts on choosing violin strings? Also, what strings do you yourself use? Many thanks.
See Ask Augustin #22.
I'm always too late. Well, curious--have you ever considered/experimented to tuning to A = 432 Hz? Thoughts on it?
Amazing that you are doing this. Fascinating as a non-violinist to see you explain such things!
How do you play without a shoulder rest? I cannot
If you look closely there is a shoulder rest inside his cloth
I think it depends how long a person’s neck is. There’s no way I could play without a shoulder rest.
Yeah, depends on the lenght of the neck. Some use tricks like having a little sponge underneath their jacket. Though maybe old players with a long neck that didn't have a shoulder rest had to physically adjust, and some raised the left shoulder, like Anne Sophie Mutter (which is incredible for not getting tension in her hand)
