Hi! I'm Zlata

Classical violinist helping you overcome technical struggles and play with feeling by improving your bow technique.

Violinist Zlata plays:

Antique German violin
Arcus S9 round violin bow
Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Gold violin strings
Pirastro No 1 E string for violin (soft)

Pianist Mari on Soundcloud

We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
We three kings, we three kings

Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
We three kings, we three kings

Myrrh is mine, it’s bitter perfume
Breaths a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

Oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
We three kings, we three kings

Super gedaan. Wat een verschil met enkele weken geleden in het filmpje dat Vivien bekommentarieerde. Wat kun je veel bereiken in enkele weken.

Well done! Wow, a bit complicated for some of us. I’ll give it a go. I love playing the Mozart Ave Verum you downloaded a while ago.
Thanks, Happy Christmas

I can’t believe how incredibly difficult this was and you nailed it SO perfectly!!! Not a single mistake! May I ask how long it took you to master it?
