Chapter 12 - Bonus on Vibrato, Intonation, Shifting (x videos)

Now that we have gone through all the Chapters with our Master Teachers, look at six short excerpts to explore further on Vibrato, Intonation and Shifting.

Release the Tension

This is very practical advice about how to release tension at the top of a fast sequence and be immediately ready to start a new one. The secret, once more, is in the bow! (From Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Masterclass with Gyorgy Pauk)

A Sforzato Climax

Delicate and demanding phase where we enter a Sforzato climax, so we see how to prepare the bow and keep the right atmosphere through it. (From Ysaye Violin Solo Sonata No. 6 Masterclass with Gyorgy Pauk)

Spanish Inspiration

The whole piece is dedicated to Manuel Quiroga, a Spanish 20th-century violinist, and this is a fragment of how Maestro Pauk treats the Spanish inspiration that Ysaye followed in writing this piece, as it is a fundamental feature for the performance. (From Ysaye Violin Solo Sonata No. 6 Masterclass with Gyorgy Pauk)

Angles of Fingers

Where your fingers go flat on the string and where are they "rounded"? Perfection in this aspect and you'll have better sound and better intonation too.(From Vivaldi Four Seasons "Summer" Masterclass with Sergey Ostrovksy)
