This isn’t really true, people back then would listen to music a lot by playing it with their family, arguably a better way of experiencing it than we have today, ofc you could probably only do this if you were rich
Most people have no idea how difficult it is to be able to get even half as good as this guy...the brain is processing 30+ functions at once..and thr majority of violinists who've been playing their whole life will be far behind a guy like this....obviously he would have put thousands of hours of practice in..but some people just have that prodigy spark in them and will push their talent to what seems like an unhumanly possible level. Respect to all the musicians out there...keep going!
Technically it’s not that hard, but it terms of musicality I get what you mean Learning what’s on the page is like 2%, the majority of the work lies in making the piece sound good lol
It’s funny how the human brain works. When you’re good at something, your brain doesn’t feel like it’s processing things that quickly. It’s almost like you see it happening in real time yet slow motion. I can only imagine that’s how baseball batters operate. When you consider our natural, human reaction time, what they do should be almost impossible. Yet they’ve been doing it so long and so consistently that it’s just another day at the office
Hellyeah!!! I always think of Malmsteen as an extension of greats like Paganini and Bach. A shredder is a musician that can scale up and down the fretboard of whatever stringed instrument at light speed!!! Usually in a classical arrangement. *Shredding = Playing really fast*
Paganini was an amazingly creative personality, composing mind-blowing pieces for himself and He was an absolutely frantic, rabid, ecstatic and crazy performer, plunging the entire auditorium into sheer ecstasy and frenzy. That's the reason why impressive girls and women fainted during his performance.
Great discussion gentlemen! Paganini actually played both the violin and guitar: In fact, many of his violin pieces were composed on the guitar first, then transposed to violin. He also composed some pieces specifically for the guitar. It can be argued that some of his unique and unprecedented techniques on the violin can be attributed to his "cross training" with the guitar.
Actually, the original bowings go (down, down, down, up), ricocheted, for each group of four 16th's in the fast section. And the reason nobody plays them in public performance often, is because when you do, the piece loses all of its musical sparkle and becomes just another monotonous bowing etude. It also always sounds like crap when you try to ricochet the bow, no matter how good the performer actually is, as can be seen above.
@@Nathan14374 People should stop pretending they know better than the composers. I appreciate the character of this. The contrast brought out by the differences in technique actually brings more variety to this music while violinists who try to interpret this idiomatically are really boring.
Infernus The Slayer i really wouldnt say less musicap, if how sumina studer played this wasnt musical to you then... oh well i have no words. Markov wasnt clear and pretty frustrating to listen to imo compared to studer...and yes she did play with the original bowing
Não importa se é o arco original ou 4x4, mas sim que é o ser humano que toca essa música com a maior clareza possível.... Markov é simplesmente insuperável
Those that think this is the original bowing are mistaken. This is Alexander Markov's interpretation of the original bowings. Notice that he uses many variations beyond down-down-down-up and down-down-down-down. In many situations, he goes straight to spicatto for effect.
Paganini played the pieces at night in the cemetery of Venice, so he was sure that not a soul could copy them. For me the idea of honoring the dead with this beautiful music was nice, but he was more practical. Also for this reason, during his performances he gave the scores to the musicians at the last moment and for a short time. Not replicating the songs was another way not to be copied. Paganini never repeats.
Потрясающе!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Он чувствует - как нужно играть!!! И он понимает психологию этого произведения!!! Кто ходил по лезвию, поймет, что я имел ввиду.Ведь, остриё судьбы у каждого своё и разное... Паганини не было бы стыдно за него!!!Браво!!!
sencillamente maravilloso, desde la ejecucion, la plastica de los ejecutantes, es complicado ejecutar este concierto y hacer una propuesta, se escucha autenticamente barroco, la tiorba aunque no lo pareciera le da un toque unico, y que decir de las mandolinistas, limpias, precisas, ligeras, el punteo impecable, la digitacion brillante y nitida, el salto de cuerda sin arrebatarse, los trinos perfectamente balanceados, y el matiz entre ambas mandolinas como de grabacion, y ademas ellas preciosas, es de los mejores videos de este concierto que he visto, gracias por subirlo!!!
I came here as I’ve just begun learning this piece or certain pieces of it on electric guitar, although I assume some of you here maybe like minded as me, and are probably also here for the same reason for those that don’t, I play technical metal/death metal music, which is a far cry from this genre, but you’ll be surprised that classical and metal music especially technical death metal ironically share a lot in common musically structure wise I myself when writing guitar solos or riffs (for example the diminished or minor scales for solos or diminished chords for riffs) I am highly influenced by many classical artist such as Mozart, Bach and Beethoven, the best part is the reaction from people when I mention this and then show them what I’ve written 😂 but anyway incredible to see this piece in it intentional and original glory, and for this to be composed on violin is absolutely mental to witness, forever grateful for such brilliant musical minds like Paganini.
I'm absolutely captivated by this...I can really feel the intensity of this piece...I know I sound ridiculous...but damn. I play the guitar and my view is that this instrument is one of pure grace. It is much more complex than my instrument, with many more techniques to master. The subtleties and fundamentals alone are worlds beyond guitar playing. You must be nearly perfect to play the violin, you can be far from perfect to play the guitar. To any violin players on this page; Much respect.
No escucho otra musica de paganini nada más que esta ❤ me recuerda mi infancia cuando aprendí a tocar el violin y tocaba esa cancion de paganini. Ay que tiempos aquellos ❤️🎻
Quien escucha este genio privilegiado el cual los medios lo degrararon al punto de decir satanico faltos de conosimiento y valorar el arte y lapacion de un genio como lo fue inmortal
Dude, as a guitar shredder for over 18 years I'd never thought I would say this and it's not fair what I'm about to say but slow down dude! At that speed you just can't appreciate the song as much
There are great musicians and the public. There are great music and critics. It always been like this and always will. Some folks like black, some like white. But watching the time passing by, Paganini music is still not for everybody.
The name of this technique is called Staccato, where it almost seems as though you are "plucking" the strings using the bow instead of your fingers; takes years to gain proficiency. Cheers for Markov, he clearly shows that he has mastered it
