If we put aside all the bad stuff, what a beautiful world we live in where we can receive such amazing help from someone at the top of the professional world. Augustin, thank you. You touch our lives in ways Paganini and even Milstein, could not.
Your affinity with the instrument make you an excellent instructor. Your explanations are easy to grasp and your humility comes through in your delivery. I sing and am truly enjoying learning about violin. You are the best teacher!
If back in the days it wouldnt be free like this!!! Feeling crazy n weird to watch this for free, even without being your student!!? So thankful for your tutorial, even tho I dont think ill ever get to you level 😂 Still helps us get better! Thank you so very much! Aloha from Hawaii 🌈
Wow.. these "cheats" and hacks were really, really helpful, and they introduced a new way on how to approach similar scores of music. Thank you so much, Mr. Hadelich 🙏
I'm actually doing the Paganini's Caprice No. 5, so your tricks helped a lot! When I tried it, it worked quite well. Thank you so much, and I just have to say, I really love your playing - you're an amazing violinist!
Can you do a video on your shifting / sliding technique - and compare it to that of Heifeitz, Oistrark, Stern, Zimmerman, and anyone else you'd like. I just find that in your playing I hear sooooo much of what reminded me of why the violin in beautiful. There's a "schmultz" to it, if you will. In the Sibelius you played with hr-Sinfonieorchester (Andrés Orozco-Estrada conducting), there was a series of perhaps downwards slides, or downward shifts - it's the Adagio di Molto at 22:56 - but it was sooooo expressive. Before the Adagio was over, I was in tears. TEARS!!!! I am not a violinist (I used to be a cellist), but I'm a keen lover of old-school fiddle playing, and would love to hear you talk about this schmultz that appears to be missing in today's fiddle playing. For me, that's the excitement of it all.
Excelent tips, as always. The Chromatic glissandi one is really really good, especially when you find you've played 13 or 11 notes instead of 12 as you said, happened to me lol!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Some would have kept these tips to themselves to maintain the mystique. I was moved by your tone and phrasing, very inspiring! PS: the open E trick is clever!
I saw your debut of Donnacha Dennehey's piece back last summer in Portland. I had a spiritual experience at this concert. I was in second row right in front of you. It was only my second concert ever, I'm 41. Anyways the orchestra brochure said he composed it during covid lockdown. Well I have a very apocalyptic spiritual view, and I believe God used Donnacha to portray and confirm to me what I had been feeling since Covid regarding the prophecies. When you played 1st movement it was very intense and it was dark and frantic, I felt it was the beginning of the 6 seal judgments opening on earth. The darkness marching over the earth, it describes not only covid, the fear during that time, but also currently the coming nuclear war with Russia and China, it is coming and will be a sudden birth pang a surprise. The movement embodied it perfectly and your playing as well. Then 2nd movement was ethereal and reminded me of the Rapture, going to a different dimension, floating through space very angelic. Peace came over me. In God's hands going to be with him. 3rd movement while was last in linear order brought to my attention that actually while I am in second movement experiencing the Rapture the 3rd movement was describing what will be taking place on earth. In other words simultaneously happening. The folk/fiddle elements of this movement embodied the Antichrist in control, yet not him, Satan controlling him. Playing him like a fiddle, charming the earth yet it was dark a sinister side the double sided character he will show, was like the movement going from fiddle music to classical, a back and forth sound element. I believe the piece as a whole was prophetic, and points to the apocalypse. I know musicians probably don't think so far out and dark but there are times music evokes evil feelings, foreboding feelings, as well as fear, and there are times music conjures terrifying mental pictures. Thank you for playing this piece.
😊Wow, ich habe gerade eben mein erstes Video von dir, hier in RUclips gesehen ( das von Paganini) und daß war der absolute Wahnsinn, einfach nur Weltklasse!!!👏👏👏💪💪💪 😢Ich bin leider nur blutiger Anfänger, mit über 50.Jahren habe ich jetzt erst die Liebe zur klassischen Musik entdeckt, obwohl mich die Klänge der Violine schon immer in ihren Bann gezogen haben und mich nun total in die himmlische verliebt habe! 💞🙏😇🙏💞 Jetzt habe ich selbst vor 14 Tagen im Selbstkurs, mit dem Anfängerbasis Kurs für Violine mit dem üben begonnen und würde mir jetzt schon wünschen, solch einen Mega coolen und abgefahrenen Geigenlehrer an meiner Seite haben zu können! Auch dieses Video inspiriert mich jetzt noch um so mehr, dieses himmlische und galaktische Musikinstrument zu erlernen, mit all den Noten, vor denen ich die größte Herausforderung sehe um mir das selbst beizubringen. Ich hoffe ich werde eines Tages genauso gut mit meiner neuen Freundin:,, der Violine" 😉, solche schöne Momente und Melodien spielen und gemeinsam mit anderen musizieren zu können! 🤗 Vielleicht habe ich ja hier bei dir noch Gelegenheit, als Anfänger einiges zu lernen und auch später noch etwas über Noten zu erfahren, dass wäre natürlich das Beste was mir noch so passieren könnte! 😂 Danke für deine tollen Tipps und Tricks welche ich mir als Anfänger natürlich gerne abspeichere, um sie später dann in ca. 2-3 Jahren mir zu Herzen zu nehmen.
Really interesting to see such high skills. These are really advanced and personnal tricks. That's incredible! The descente with E open cord is amazing, the rubato for chromatic descente show a control of the bow outstanding. I cannot imagine leasing those tricks oneday...
Well, didn't expect that, not gonna lie. But I like this not-proud way of thinking. Shows, that the idea of music should just be to get the feeling right and not the 'skill'.
May I have one question to the semi-staccato in the left hand glissandi? Would you recommend that also for the decime glissandi in Paganini no. 24 caprice? Thank you!
I am curious to find out but cannot comfortably play fast enough to find out, does the trick with palying the open string in the middle of a fast run work on other strings? Like woll the violin stay in the higher octave if the run was played on the a or d string?
Thank you Augustin! I have been suggested the open e trick as well. Namely in the third movement of d minor Wieniawski concerto, just where the theme climbs all the way up and is getting back down to restart itself. But there one can get away with playing the note e as a harmonic on a string too, I guess...?
You're the greatest violin teacher in the world!!! Thank you so much Augustin!!!!!
How generous to share those treasure discoveries ! Thank you !
Right?! Most people make you subscribe to a program to learn stuff like this
If we put aside all the bad stuff, what a beautiful world we live in where we can receive such amazing help from someone at the top of the professional world.

Greatest violinist and living legend

1:18 this is the reason I can't play the piece. That was the one bit I needed, I mastered it now thanks.

Thank you so much, these are wonderful for ANY string player… ( cello for me)
Just discovered your teaching videos, love it, thank you!
Thank you so much! You're my best teacher, yet 😊

Thank you Augustin

Fun trick! I'm going to try it out in measure 423 in Don Juan.

I love your playing. So I'm here to try & see if I can get some ideas/inspiration to transfer to my guitar teaching 👍
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for these highly interesting insights and tips!
Suas aulas são excelentes e muito obrigado por este belíssimo trabalho e também te desejo um excelente concerto aquele na sala São Paulo no Brasil
Estou vendo este vídeo um dia antes do concerto mencionado a cima
Wow! So interesting!
Well, didn't expect that, not gonna lie. But I like this not-proud way of thinking. Shows, that the idea of music should just be to get the feeling right and not the 'skill'.
Double octave very interesting
I’ve always liked your chromatic glissandos. Im gonna do them that way from now on!
Does hadelich have a recording of Brahms sonata 3 d minor on other platforms ?
love the content! wohoo!🎉
May I have one question to the semi-staccato in the left hand glissandi?
Would you recommend that also for the decime glissandi in Paganini no. 24 caprice? Thank you!

Can you please publish your editions of Solo Bach and the Paganini Caprices? And concertos and sonatas too while you’re at it.
어거스틴 너무 멋져요!
Thank you Augustin!

I believe harmonics were also used similarly by Paganini himself
This video is purely a Dimond!!
Feel like this is the violin equivalent of adding MSG to cooking
~ flavor enhancement ~
Thankssss
With these tips we can now play Paganini Caprice No. 5!
😂 think again
Funny you
I can only assume that he's had sophisticated magnets fitted in his finger tips / violin that guide perfectly to chosen note every time.
🤣🤣 agree with you!
He’s ammaaazzzzzing 💕💕
Wow!! incredibly helpful
2:44 Tchaikovsky violin concert
The only logical way to explain this level of skill is magnets in his fingertips and in the fingerboard
Brillant! Thanks a lot:)
Be careful, you have an American flag right behind you !!!
