Maxim Vengerov | How To Produce & Change Vibrato | Classic FM 

That’s exactly what I was gonna mention. He even plays the simple scale so beautiful.

It's because the timbre of the sound he produces is gorgeous. I love to hear him playing mozart, that's the reason.

Yes my scale is same with sirenne in place of vibrato hahahaah. I can't make it so fast yet. The joy and love to the vibrato isn't appearing yet apperantly

indeed

So it would seem (Pirates of the caribbean reference)

same here.... wish oneday can see him live

Me too

Here is vibrato important, is not about scales, however both are wonderful.

@@violetabighiu223 Yes, that the beauty of it. He plays a "simple" scale, but just by adding dynamics and changes in vibrato he made it sound so beautiful !

its the biggest sign of a virtuoso, performing like its not a big deal at all, relaxed yet impeccable

Unul din ce mai renumiți! Salut de la Căușeni.

No, deepest in g minor

@@Joker-lt7pf why?

Anne Sofie Mutter does it I think

@@NYGGJELEBEITE You are right - I've just checked some videos of Anne Sofie Mutter. I guess big artists can have it customized. When I was a student, I never thought it could be done.

@@NYGGJELEBEITE I've just checked again, it's called "Whitner Style Middle Violin Chinrest"

people do that alot

@@roman14032 I switched to middle recently and it's much better for my anatomy.

I don't think he teaches vibrato. His students are advanced. They know vibrato. He tells them how to use it to serve the pieces. Well, that's what I think happens. Love and peace!

@@dianal.1279 thanks for your answer. I am not referring to basic skills. In my understanding there are different schools of vibrato and even among the best of the best violinists I can see differences in their vibrato technique, and yes, they do talk about it. Of course, there is the question of when to use it and how. The 'how' can refer to the basic parameters of amplitude and speed, but there is something else I refer to: while some seem to use only or mainly arm vibrato, others use some wrist vibrato (integrated/merged with arm vibrato or not). Others talk about finger vibrato, which personally I do not see fit and useful but maybe it is for others. It might maybe be more useful in certain types of folk music (probably worth a debate). In the words of Heifetz: 'Vibrato... is part of each individual musical personality, something one is born with…expressing one's temperament.' I am not sure whether we are borne with it, I am convinced that we can change it significantly through practice, but I think it is true that each violinist has his/her very personal technique and use of vibrato. This is the level of reflection I am interested in.

I see Vengerov using both wrist and arm vibrato, and both separately and combined. My question is when he uses what and why.

I n t R E s T i n G

same bro

Thats exactly what he always does. He shows only how madly in love he is with himself.

Total physical relaxation, followed by a connection of the feeling in the right and left hands. Anyone can show vibrato exercises; this was much more.

He is actually showing how , the thing he didnt make it simple , just because vibrato is not something simple .

@@petroffma I think youre both right in a way. Because if you came here as a beginner who doesnt really know how to do vibrato you definitly came to the wrong place but when you are already a decent violin player and you just want to take your hobby to another level and get in the mindset of an virtuoso you can benefit from this video.

Luca Gethmann yes I think you’re right

Left thumb position in relation to the neck depends on the length of the thumb and fingers. Fingers must be in the optimal shape and then the thumb lands where it lands. Mine sits under the neck as my thumbs are unusually short.

It's the vibrato united with crescendos and diminuendos

Okay.

Yes

Yes, the title doesn't reflect the content.

I knowwww! This was an adult realization for me as well.

The second half of Last Rose of Summer uses scales instead of notes, a scale can be looked at as a distinct object

@@ZaraAxelrod me too.

Listen to Arvo Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel. It’s very much based on the scale.

@@sahirsharma4336 Comfort for the way he plays/holds the violin. Some players just prefer it that way. EDITED TO ADD: I left out the other vital reason for why some go for a centre chinrest - injury. I actually think that may be the reason for maestro Vengerov. IIRC he did have an injured shoulder at one stage and this centred chinrest may help relieve or prevent recurrence.

I also use a chin rest like his. It's more comfortable for me.

I switched to a middle chinrest and now find it easier to reach high notes with my inflexible wrist and short thumb.

I think I might need one of those. My chin rest is at the side and it's very uncomfortable

Is it bad?

Curved. My pinkie is narrow and weak, so I support it with the 3rd that vibrates along with the 4th.

Unfortunately I don't quite know but someone else commented (I think on another video where Vengerov has black-wound strings) and apparently they're a special artist-only brand ! They sound very punchy and rich, I hope they release them to the public!
