Bruch Concerto - RAW Practice Session 

Oh my gosh! I was so not in the mood to practice today... but seeing your practice video mades me motivation to practice my piece! Thank you!!

your playing gave me a revelation: I should practice SMILING while practicing. Which I have not yet considered before. thanks.

I really enjoy seeing the secrets of the practice session of an artist. I don't know any other artist that is as open, brave and generous in this respect. It must be very educational, useful and enlightening to other violinists who follow you. Brilliant!

I'll try the first page, this vidoe is really inspiring, I learnt A LOT.

Your practice session is like a mini-concert.

One of my favorite pieces. Thank you for posting another practice video.

Always a pleasure to see you practice! Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment with us!

These are so immensely helpful! Thank you for opening up your practice for us.

really loving the raw practice part! it's helping me with my practice too! Thank you Esther! Hoping there are more raw practice series!

I also play this concerto now and it’s so great that you showed us how you practice it! I got some really nice tips from the video ❤️

I haven't played in ages and just started again. You have no idea how wonderfully helpful this video was! Thanks for posting!

love this piece 😌

THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!! I’m playing this for my senior recital. YOURE AMAZING!!!!😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your practice session with us. I am practicing this concert and seeing how you practice has been so helpful!

Wow, I just practicing this from a week ago, I really needed this, thanks esther😍

Very nice video, thank you for sharing! If you see a pro playing on stage, it looks all so easy that noone can imagine what insane hard work has been invested to make it sound like this... memorizing a whole concert without running into the wrong direction later is also some kind of magic. I'm happy when I was able to memorize a few lines.

Oh my God! I’m studying this piece! Thank you Ester! 😍😍

Game-changer - putting the score you are following, interpreting - brilliant!!!!!!!! Thank you!

you are killing it! I have to finish watching this later but I will when I get back ... пока

SO close to 100,000 subscribers. Keep it up, Esther. I like your style of music

Your face looks like mine when I practice..but not the same excellence.. Thanks for sharing you're great, I love how you don't skip over your mistakes ❤️❤️❤️

As always, your playing flows like a country stream. You know exactly how to set a mood with your bow crossing the strings. Je t'adore, Mademoiselle Esther! You will be more successful than you can even fathom now.

Brilliant what a maestro!!! Practice never sounding this beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

Génial, merci beaucoup!!

Le travail, la recherche de la perfection. J'adore.

You don't need many words to learn how to practise a peace! Thank you!

So close to 100k early congrats and may you continue to make inspirational and amazing videos 🥳😇

You are the best Esther! ❤️❤️😘😘🎻🎻

Its always a joy to see you practice Im an adult begginer in viola and altough Im progressing at a good pace seeing you practice and repeating passages so many times really brings up to me that even pros practice like I try to practice everyday and that you need too work to progress and not allows frustration to set in. Thanks for motivating me Esther. =D

Love you u beautiful angel Esther Abrami! ❤

I'm playing this piece for my Uni application this June so this video really is motivating :D

I don't understand why anyone would dislike this - what did they think they were clicking on? This is precisely the video I wanted to watch! Thank you for sharing. My starting point is a lil different from yours but your practice techniques are still very helpful

Yaayy new video 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I love this❣️

Great work!!! I wish you success and good luck!!! You have a wonderful violin, wonderful tone and sound. I can only imagine what a pleasure it is to play such an instrument.

Sounds Wonderful 👍

I really appreciate that you add the sheet music into the video.

congrats on 100K, you deserve it

You make it sound really nice!😃 💓

I love your vids!!!

Awesome!! I love this video!!! Bruch is one of my favorite composers and I always wondered what one of your practice sessions is like

You hit 100k Subscribers Esther CONGRATULATION😍😍

Right on!! Those double stops and octaves are tough. You have me idea on how to work on position and intonation both. Thank you my dear 😊👍 by the way your tone is insane and so is your vibrato.

Congratulations to 100,000 subscribers🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

You have a good violin!

Merci Esther pour vos démonstrations d’apprentissage et « dissection » d’une partition: c’est une véritable leçon de musique! En espérant que très bientôt les salles d’orchestre se rempliront, à nouveau, avec les virtuoses douées et travailleurs.

I'm a big fan of yours!!

Me encanto ❤❤ saludos desde Argentina ❤❤

Excellent.

Parabéns, ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍🎻🎻, I love Max Bruch!!!

Maravilhoso!!!!

Just beautiful 👍big kiss from France 🇫🇷

This is really helpful cos I’m working on this for my summer recital and have been feeling a bit demotivated with it. Thank u! The string crossing runs are so frustrating to make them sound fluent 😭

First! Love youuuu

I really want a violin for my birthday i suddendly really became interested into violin lately. 🎻😯

You've got amazing intonation.

I love

you’re doing great. just keep practicing those runs, you’re like me. i’m such a profectionist that i gotta listen to my shifts right in tune and bowings too. try doing that passage without vibrato then 2 finger octives, plus try and stand straight when playing. really listen to your shifts, the way you lift and catch the bow and lift it off certain passages too. especially this part i’m listening to now where you’re in b flat a little bit during the first moovement. love the trills, very slowly practice them then do them faster.

Yep. That's how it is

Its cute that she kept smiling the whole time. it tells she handles challenges very well. I on the other hand ........ will leave it to your imagination!

Bravo :)

hi i like practice ur our teacher

What I love about you Esther, you hide nothing your expression says it all.Thanks for sharing love xx :)

Desejo de como lindo assim ..parabéns

Fan from Chile 🇨🇱 🤍🖤💜

Muito bom amiga..

Merci pour le partage, je pourrais écouter votre pratique toute la journée. salutations de Chili.

Even the very best slows down during a practice session.

Hi Esther, one of my good friends just learned the Bruch Concerto. Just wanted to say Good Luck, and Congratulations from your last video

I always wonder if professional violinist / soloist continue with lessons from someone after graduating from Juilliard / Royal School of Music or wherever with a Bachelors or Masters degree. Are they completely on their own to learn new music and prepare for new performances where the stakes are so high to not screw up AT ALL !! ? Seems like an immense amount of pressure to me. NO ONE knows everything or is completely prepared after graduation from any school. Would love to have Esther make a video explaining how professional musicians further their expertise after graduation and performing in the 'real world'. I am not dissing her at all, but I would really like to know how they continue to hone their craft. I mean watching these practice sessions is interesting and all, but she is going to be playing that music in front of hundreds of paying people who would not be the least bit understanding of anything less than an epic performance, every time. - No Pressure !! - Does she not have anybody to help her learn this music ??

Very Good Content. I will practice also. You have a new subscriber.

These gems of practice videos with such a great violinist have an immense educational value! They’re extremely inspirational and motivational. Finally, students and laypeople are shown what it takes, the amount of dedication, perfectionism...totally the opposite of the woke culture of results with no effort. Thank you Esther for your generosity and dedication!

I was confused on the fingering especially where the broken chords with interchangeable strings were at. But seeing your fingering helped me have an idea where they should be at least. Thank you!

Bravo 👍🐦🎻

As a violonist i personaly hate this concerto but watch you working is very helpful ans interesting even for other pieces, thks 😍😊

❤

Linda

Te amo

Wonder fil. Please do the same with 2nd and 3rd movements.

Brasil !

More practise videos!! How do you stay so calm when things dont work out as you want??

Esther, I want to watch you playing Moses Fantasy by Paganini 😍😊

I have question would you consider revising the great french violin teacher nicolas laoureux of the last century method and modernizing it with your own concepts as well?

My daughter's name is Esther too. And me and her other mommy are teaching her violin. I've showed her this to get her spirits up, keep up the great work

that's a beautiful violin, what are you playing on exactly?

👍👍👍👍

How do you hide the shifts at 17:20 so well? What methods are done to do this?

What tecniques do you use to make the most of your time practicing?

Так нравится твоё счастливое лицо!

👌👍

A dream of something far away: like "me and you" - a fairytale, a mystery on a secret trail, in every single word i say, starts like a song, with "you and me", a dead note was your favorite part, (i tried my best to find the key) what well was meant ends like a 💨🙀🫂💔 🥀🤦🤷

When I look at you for a little more longer, you remind me of Audrey Hepburn!

FIRST

with the group of 7 notes, I get confused when I have to play it quickly.What should I do?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇩🇮🇩

Excellent! Do you roll throes triple stops or do you play the 3 strings at once? I couldn’t tell

What violin are you playing?

I wish…. When you can hear the orchestra playing behind you know that the soloist is good!

I think you should try to move as little as possible. This will concentrate your thinking on the appropriate muscles needed to produce the most pristine of sounds. It will also insure that your mike placement is never momentarily compromised.

What means the numbers up to the notes mean???? Pls
