I would say that the explanation was great.
I didn’t previously understand the movement right at the bow change.
I’m still having 50% crunch at frog change..,,so I can move forward a bit more now
Great to read that, Paul!
Thank you teacher Zlata for the lessons I appreciate it
Urmm…Im not so familiar with some of pieces and I’ll really love to play them please what should I do?
At what level are you playing? Maybe I can point you in the right direction?
dankje wel Zlata!! Beetje gek dat in de vertaling wordt gesproken over “positie”wisseling ipv. snaar wisseling 🙂
ik ga het even uitproberen!!
p.s. waar ik het meeste moeite mee heb: spelen van snelle korte nootjes !! bijv. de snelle nootjes in het scherzo van Schubert 6e symfonie, maar ja, dat zal wel een kwestie zijn van héél véél oefenen ……….:-)
groetjes Judith
Graag gedaan, Judith, bedoel je de ondertiteling die YouTube automatisch maakt? Die slaat inderdaad vaak helemaal nergens op, haha! Ik heb een video met wat studietips voor snelle nootjes: https://violinlounge.com/4-practice-tips-to-play-fast-on-the-violin/ Laat maar weten of je daar wat aan hebt.
I’m sorry. I’m like Victor and need to practice more. I resolve to do better when I return home next month. Am in Arkansas caring for my Aunt (97)
Awesome, have fun on your trip!
