2 Categories of Goal-Setting in Practice
Просмотров 1783 месяца назад
There is no single right or wrong way to set a goal. Most goals fall into one of two categories: specific and open-ended. It's similar to considering outcome-based vs process-based, but with some more nuance. This is a concept I got from The Growth Equation and adapted specifically toward classical musicians in this short video. However, this is applicable to all disciplines. Anyone watching th...
Kreutzer 1 Dynamics with Unilateral & Bilateral Motion | Play With a More Resonant Sound
Просмотров 5474 месяца назад
Unilateral motion is when the body transfers weight toward the same direction as the bow. It helps to extend the legato stroke and encourages the upper arm to lead in very slow bows. Bilateral motion is when the bow moves in the opposite direction of the body’s weight transfer. It’s helpful for most other types of bow strokes. Even in fast 16th note passages, the body responds on a more “micros...
How To Catch the String with Arm Weight, NOT Force | Martele and Colle | Paul Rolland Bow Rocking
Просмотров 7925 месяцев назад
One common pitfall of learning "catch and release" for a good martele, colle, and other related bowstrokes is pushing too hard with the index finger or overpronating the arm. This can lead to a lot of tension. A better way is to feel the natural weight of the arm into the bow, and the bow's natural weight making contact with the string. A great tool to feel the natural arm weight more easily is...

    I have a question, if I play a major 3rd with C and the open E string, would that 3rd be in just intonation or in equal temp? Because the same 3rd played an octave lower (the one of the Bach Andante), you say it must be a pure major 3rd to be harmonically in tune, but wouldn't that E be a little lower compared to the open E string? For example if I have to play a scale of 3rds (C major), which of the two 3rds would be most appropriate? Sorry if I’m confused

    • @Violinna
      @Violinna День назад

      You are correct! I actually talk about this exact problem in Bach Andante in part 2 of this topic, with repertoire examples (should be linked in description box somewhere). It's not possible to play this Bach opening "100% in tune" and different players interpret what sounds best, where there is more than one compromise that's possible - this is where intonation actually becomes subjective!

    • @esteban100

    In Bach sonata, why don't you try to adjust root C to match E and F? :) I though the general point was to keep main melody equally tempered and bend harmonic voices to make perfect intervals?

    • @Violinna
      @Violinna 2 дня назад

      That's because the root is the foundation of the harmony, and that's also the key of the movement. Adjusting it will make the whole thing really out of tune, especially as the lower voice changes. Imagine if the foundation of a building shifted.

      it specifies the measure number of whatever the preparation exercise refers to. So for example, in the Key of A, it says m. 3 in the first shifting exercise. it refers to the 3rd measure of page 10 (Foundation Key of A)

    It's all wrong! Only historical facts... All the notes must to have constant place like the A440Hz. Only the unisson must be perfect. All others intervals we must avoid to be in just intonation. Yes, the octave also! 12ET is the best way, but only without a just octave! We need a true reference how to stay in tune, an universal temperament! Nobody today ne propose different mesures for time or distance, stop please to lead people in wrong way!

    @daviddobrydnio1746 Месяц назад

    Thanks. I see some instructors suspending the bow hair above and off the string in order to deliver a colle derived motion called the brush stroke as you mention. But you start on the string and dont rely on a primarily finger extension and retraction.

    • @Violinna
      @Violinna Месяц назад

      Any finger motion is passive in true spiccato stroke, and the forearm leads. Finger motion is more visible in some players than others and it's really a reaction as part of the momentum. However, an exercise, it's often recommended to practice developing the flexibility and strength of the fingers by doing colle bowstroke. In colle (which is different from spiccato, but not unrelated) the fingers participate more. It also starts on the string.
