Push back? Are you kidding me? Is that brat serious? One of the greatest violinists who ever lived tells you to stand on your head or swing from the chandelier...YOU DO IT! Boy, the old saying is true. We get old too soon and wise too late.
It's an interesting concept...I'm a professional cellist and just discovered last week if I do the same thing on the cello, I have more power effortlessly and can sustain the bow much better. On the cello you have to do the opposite motion since our inst. is vertical compared to the violin...on violin your tip winds up (pulling) closer to the bridge on a down bow as you open the elbow. The cello is the reverse...you pull the tip closer to the bridge by pulling elbow inwards a bit, and outwards for up bows....it's all about 'encouraging' the bow to somewhat gravitate towards the bridge.
great tips, going to try the resistance band out for myself! I always teach a similar concept of pointing the screw of the bow outward rather than thinking up and down. The difference is that up and down you get to the tip and the elbow wants to go to the side and you lose that powerful sound. You can hear the difference from the start when PZ first plays it is fuller and more secure and resonant, Daniel was sounding really nice toward the end as well!
Anyone who thinks this is unusual pushback from a student isn't a top instrumental teacher! It's 50 percent persuasion, and drip drip of change over months/years. Try persuading someone that for their whole life they have been walking wrong and they need to throw their foot in a different way, would take ages to sink in, and the person would struggle to walk for a while. Students hate to feel uncomfortable because they are distracted by short term goals
To be playing at this standard at this age and having lessons with one of the greatest of our generation, you can imagine how many billions of dollars the kid’s parents have. Otherwise, he must have a very special relationship with the maestro.
I play classical music and deeply appreciate musicians but have zero respect for such disgraceful and racist ones. Zukerman must stop making culturally insensitive and ignorant remarks to young musicians who are Asian or Asian descendants.
Zukerman, are you going to ask her to sing the nice sound, not a big sound, before she plays it on her violin? Oh, that's right. Singing is just not in Asian people's DNA! I didn't know you are a biologist after all.
@@Pagnyni 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 My bad. I didn't call him Mr. Zuckerman the racist although I don't see how that could help his already-destroyed reputation. Pathetic 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Pagnyni 😂😂😂😂 I've heard the exact same argument before; he's done so much for the world and it was just one mistake blah blah blah. The problem is the ignorant people like you who are selectively too forgiving when it comes down to racism. He is a public figure. He knows there are many eyes watching him and ears listening to him. Knowing that and still making those racial comments at the Juilliard virtual symposium is his own fault. Your greatest Mr. Zuckerman has ruined his own reputation with his own words. That's what happened and he is responsible for his action. He has no say to criticism from people like me or anyone who cares about music, human rights, and the sisters who were globally stereotyped and humiliated by your greatest Mr. Zuckerman at the Juilliard virtual symposium (born and raised in NYC with Japanese heritage from their mom). Consequently, your greatest Mr. Zuckerman will no longer participate in the upcoming 2022 Carnegie Hall chamber music concert series. The participating musicians refused to collaborate with your greatest Mr. Zuckerman. They said music is inclusive, and the professional musicians must show respect towards one another, which I deeply value as well. So, who looks more pathetic? Wake up. It's almost 2022. We have no room for racism.
He is racist.... Masterclass shut down by Juilliard school after top violinist uses ‘offensive cultural stereotypes’ - www.classicfm.com/music-news/juilliard-slams-violinist-zukerman-offensive-cultural-stereotypes/
I feel uncomfortable wasting so much time if I already understand that! .... this guy does not deserve the lesson at all! I would have left immediately
this kid is obviously talented and I also hope she knows how fortunate she is to be taught by the greatest. I did not have a good teacher till I was much older. Did a lot of things wrong on the Violin and had to work super hard to fix and change. Keep up the good work girl. and, thank you maestro !! I will remember the phrase: Make good sound, not just big sound...
I am working on this very issue at the moment, and I appreciate the student’s questions. And I likewise appreciate Pinchas’ patience and directness with his communication.
yea well, the thing about this instrument is that understanding is not enough NOBODY IS BORN PLAYING THIS INSTRUMENT RIGHT it's not a natural feeling thing pinchas zukerman is a saint id a taken a two by four to him
I love Catch! I love Release too! The sound you make when you Catch and then release can be incredible - On chords it is magestic! You never have to worry about sound production at the very contact points when you catch and release - the sound just grows out and builds up. You can do it pianissimo or even fortissimo. The alternative is just 'bowing' and making sounds by accident which don't help build up the musical structure and your musical intentions.
That is what this achieves!!! The concept of "play parallel to the bridge'" is a starting point mentally, but because of the difficulty in playing the violin we must continue to give different ways to actually practice this.
Well, in my opinion, "being parallel" is not the aim of playing the violin. The point is, how to produce a good, deep, nice, beautiful, flexible but powerful sound.
