Ask Augustin 51: Tips on Beethoven Concerto Part 1 

I love the way he paints the big picture of the work and stresses that there must always be a sense of direction. He's one of my favorite soloists.

Augustin always has a very philosophical, analytical view of the works. One of the most preeminent violinists today.

THAT FINGERING FOR THE OCTAVES IS BRILLIANT. Actually, this whole video was brilliant hahaha.

If there is, in fact, a renaissance of the golden era of great violinists of the early 20th century, Hadelich definitely is the prime exponent of it. There are very few violinists out there nowadays on his level. Many of them play well but leave no impression when all is said and done. It's like they don't understand music all that well and/or just don't have a lot interesting to say. You have to speak with your instrument, literally - a skill that not many have, but Hadelich has it. His humility is refreshing too. Some lesser players are just sorta "Hollywood."

Wow, the Beethoven concerto is quite complex indeed. It is nice to see Augustin taking so much time out of his day to create such a beautifully-thought-out video for his audience. Thank you so much

Wow!!! Masterful analysis of all possible perspectives: Beethoven, violin soloist, orchestra, audience, conductor. Did I miss anything? Piano version...

Absolutely brilliant

Awesome analysis and playing by Augustin. Thank you!

Thank you for taking time to make this video! I learn so much every time I watch you.

I'm not a professional musician, nor have I played the Classical Guitar for years, but I consider this Concerto as The One. As such, I find this elaboration and explanation as pure Stairways To Heaven. Thank you Augustin ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts as a performer and analyzing the first mov. Your knowledge is always so inspiring 🙏

Such a fascinating lecture demonstration. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. This changes how I understand this piece-all for the better.

Such an insightful video! It certainly changed the way I thought about,and listened to this piece.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and masterful skills with abandon in this and your other videos. This is a wonderful masterclass on Beethoven's only violin concerto, a profound masterpiece. You're a credit to the world of symphonic music deserving all the recognition you've attained.

Fingered octaves is a genius tip👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻 amazing analysis 👏🏻 ❤️

I Hope that you never get board of hearing this but your instructions and insights that you share with us are absolutely so appreciated. Thank you so much 😄🙏

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great stuff Augustin! It's been my life long passion to perfect the Beethoven and your advice will really help.

He is a vibrant and engaging speaker.

Thank you so much for this amazing video!

이런 소중한 영상을 찍어줘서 정말 정말 고마워요 저는 하델리히의 비브라토를 특히 좋아한답니다 지난번 방한때 연주회를 못봐서 많이 아쉬웠는데 다음에 또 오신다면 꼭 보러가려구요 늘 건강하시고 좋은 연주 기다리겠습니다 감사해요!!

The four note motive which starts on the timpani is like a menacing reminder of the goose stepping guards of Napoleon s troops or police guarding all public buildings in Europe. Beethoven s music makes his audience feel safe.

Fantastic!!!!

Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!

I'd love some tips for the Brahms Violin Concerto:)

Thanks a lot! Just great to hear!

Thank you very much for sharing very practical and useful skills. I would like to know how you assign bowings when using original versions such as the Henle edition. I would be very happy if you would talk in the ask Augustin programs.

Beautiful :)

Thankyou so much! Your input makes me so excited to start learning this piece :)

Thank you

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏

당신의 이런 훌륭한 레슨을 들을 수 있어서 감사합니다. 당신을 만드신 하나님께 영광입니다. 영어를 잘 못하지만 당신이 하는 모든 것을 보고 있기만 해도 행복합니다. 감사합니다.

Dear Mr.Hadelich. I’d like to ask a little question , please. How long did it take you to learn this concerto and how many hours of a daily practice did it take? Thank you in advance !

quien debe comprender al genial violinista. yo le escucho...pero creacion no repeticion . PAGANINI ES EL VIOLIN INMORTAL. PAGANO DIVINO ANGEL DE LA COMPOSICION . ESTE NUEVO GENIO DEBE DIFUNDIR SU OBRA NO TECNICAS...ME DISCULPO PORQUE LO ADMIRO. PERO HAY OTROS GENIOS DEL VIOLIN Y EL LOS CONOCE Y USTED TAMBIEN ACARDO ITALIANO EL ULTIMO MAESTRO.

Im actually not as good of a violinist as Augustin.
