This was amazing to watch. It’s interesting to be allowed into a professional’s private practice time. Although lol, I could barely notice a difference between your practice and your performances. The level of skill is quite high. They say a professional will make what they do look easy. Well, this at no time looked easy, and was very beautiful to listen to. I enjoy very much watching someone play an instrument when they seem to very much enjoy playing it.
I could only imagine your neighbors saying ... oh no .. Esther practicing. Open the window and Pour some wine. Awesome to see what it means to stay on top of your game. A true professional!! Thanks for sharing!!
afaik, when most musical prodigies practice, their neighbours have been known to find them annoying. however, some will miss it if they find out the person was famous later on, or if it became a daily occurrence that they didn't know they would miss.
Great job, Esther! I’m a beginner cellist in 6th grade, and I’ve admired your hard work as a violinist even *before* the time that I got to see and hold my cello! You’re *such* an inspiration to me! Thank you for helping me reach forward to my dreams and wanting to succeed even more every single day! Thank you for all of your *amazing* content and videos! Can’t wait to watch more from you! Sincerely, Me (Christian)!
@@abelee9324 I've seen violinists who use a shoulder rest who have violin hickeys (those red marks/bruises) Its not just because she doesn't have a shoulder rest.
@@AshleesBathroom i am a violinist for 13 years. The hickey like marks would be underneath ur jawline regualarly which symbolizes you practiced a lot. But its on her collarbone which means she does practice but since no shoulder rest it would mean the pressure went to near collar not under chin like violinist with shoulder rest
C'est un vrai bonheur de voir un tel amour du violon, un tel talent. Votre sourire Esther et votre grâce ne font qu'en accentuer le délice. Cette vidéo de travail est un bel apprentissage pour moi par exemple, après 40 ans de musique (auteur-compositeur, bassiste, guitariste..) qui n'ai commencé le violon qu'à 55 ans (malheureusement !) mais qui me régale de cet instrument !! Vos vidéos me permettent de n'en être que plus proche !
Cela donnera peut-être une petite idée aux gens par rapport à tout le travail qu'il y a derrière une performance. Et merci Esther pour montrer cela et aussi pour le faire avec mon morceau préféré. Vous êtes fabuleuse.
A consummate artist honing her skills. A lesson in dedication to her art and musicianship. Thank you for letting us into your practice room and private space and Vivaldi!! Good luck and God Bless young lady.
Idk how to describe this video, it just makes me feel so calm, i just have my mind in blank, congratulations for your truly skills, you are so lovely.❤
It is not a crack. Yeah a sound comes out. It is because she has to exert pressure on the frog. When you are pushing or pulling the bow you should balance the force you are exerting on the bow so that the sound coming out won’t be unbalanced. If you have to push or pull your bow too quick without the right pressure the sound comes out like a racing car. To prevent this she balances the force on the frog. If you are familiar with Hilary Hahn’s practice videos too you will notice the same thing. Some violinists forget to realize the importance of this right balanced pressure on the bow. It really affects the musicality of a musician so every violinist should put some effort to get it right. Yeah the sound might be irritating for you but I think it is necessary. I was not aware of this kind of issue either, however your bowing technique is really important to be able to reflect a great musicality and tonality. I hope it did not offend you and this comment was helpful too. 😊
Defne Akdemir it's just bad mic work. Sound check would fix this if it was a professional performance. Understandably she's just filming in her own hotel room but it's still very jarring.
Yay! :D Sounds great to me, Esther. It hardly sounds like practising. Although the facial expressions at 4:30-5:00 are quite funny and relate-able. Oh, and the up-to-tempo playthroughs were very helpful and epic to witness! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for allowing us to see behind the curtain at some of the hard work that goes into producing a great performance. You either have very thick, well insulated walls or tolerant neighbours. As a teenager I played the trombone (badly) and I was always conscious during practice of how much my family and neighbours had to put up with. It would be nice to know which of your violins you are using.
This is super helpful! Its good to see even experienced violin players/professionals need to make mistakes along the way - makes me feel less self conscious as a beginner
I am so jealous! She repeats a bit twice and it sounds better than when I have practiced it tens times. I watch her face and I seem to hear the same comments that I make in my head while practicing. Reaching beauty is a long process...
Fascinating. Very brave of you Esther to show yourself vulnerable... practicing...And I find it fascinating to watch...knowing that it will eventually morph into a perfection we will all see on stage. Hopefully! Bless you Esther and all the wonder you bring us by just being your awesome self. :)
I really love these types of practice videos and I think you play amazingly the only thing I would say is to use shorter bows when practicing slowly as well as at tempo, my private teacher recommended that to me and I feel like it really helps my playing so yeah .
I love that piece of music, hope you will also post your finished work. For that matter, all four seasons would be quite nice! And yes, I realize that is asking quite a lot!
Honestly, I never thought this song would actually be played, but you actually have made me feel like it's possible, I love Vivaldi, and I have tried that song but can't do as good, but thank you so much, playing the violin is more than just playing, and your a great example of it. Thank you, you're fascinating. Thx again
I think this kind of video setting is very useful to see! Too many people think that musicians will be perfect all the time. I'd call it a humbling experience, and it's a good thing.
Wow, this is amazing to see you practice ! I'm gonna watch more of your videos as I am playing violon again (I stopped during my studies because I didn't have enough time). I just discovered your channel and it is super motivating :D Thank you and kiss from France ;)
I thought this might be boring, duh. It was amazing to see and helps a beginner to see what is truly inside the practice of a great violinist. Cool app too.
Sonya, I would say that she gets a strong deep sound from the violin. Especially through youtube, it's hard to get a sense of the instrument, but I think even in person, the player makes the sound, 99%. Like, if she and I traded violins (and mine is decent though probably worth 1/100th what hers is) and you heard us each play something (and I'm a decent amateur), you would think my violin, played by her, sounded amazing, while hers, played by me, sounded "pretty good".
Uow :), another credit for such humility in rehearsing publicly and for watching you play with Whittingham...!!! It made me better to see how we should rehearse when alone what is escencial!!!
Just stumbled across your video! I've actually been wanting to (and started on) doing some "practice with me" videos, too, and it's so awesome to see other musicians practice before I start sharing it myself, too!
Your skills are amazing and you are one of the cutest persons on earth :) Looking forward to hearing the complete piece from you once you feel "ready" enough. :)
I’ve been trying to learn this on my own. The music I got has no finger or position recommendations. Any music publisher you would advise on that matter or when you show the music at bottom of screen show finger and position marking?? I don’t mind watching over and over to guess the position though!
@Cool Guy Parce qu'elle parle français, tu connais la liberté d'expression ? Je vois pas où es le problème de s'exprimer avec le français ou l'anglais ou bien plusieurs langues. Le but n'est pas d'être lu ou compris par tous mais d'encourager cette artiste et de la remercier 😊
If you're enjoying my videos, you can give me a bit of energy by buying me a coffee on here: www.buymeacoffee.com/estherabrami
Desculpe! mas eu não pude deixar de ver o seu Carisma 😁
Hey you should show us the sheet music of each piece you play. That would be very helpful!
🌹💋 hi very nice thank you
I'm going to learn this part now :P you've inspired me. Thank you!
You are the best in the world 😘💖💖😘
Mom - are you practicing ?
Me - no i’m watching someone else practice
😂😂
Lol the same
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly
*i n t e r e s t i n g*
Amaaazing
Isn't that from the guy who claims himself being the fastest violin player boi he was wrong
@@durian1903 it is from the guy, who claims to be the fastest violin player, but plays on a 5 string, metal, e-violin. That guy...
*s a c r e l i g i o u s b o i*
It's nice that professional musicians start filming and uploading their practicing these days, especially in an unedited way :)
I am so happy to read this :)
I agree! I think it's a very brave thing to do.
PROFESSIONAL..?????????
@@iAmKristix Is she not a professional?

thats a good thing. i love twoset but the inside jokes can get annoying
the comments are always the same it gets boring cuz its way too predictable. what a fun community
Your facial expressions are brilliant! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has interesting expressions while practising!
I could only imagine your neighbors saying ... oh no .. Esther practicing. Open the window and Pour some wine. Awesome to see what it means to stay on top of your game. A true professional!! Thanks for sharing!!
Nice comment. I agree! Even her practicing would sound wonderful.
afaik, when most musical prodigies practice, their neighbours have been known to find them annoying. however, some will miss it if they find out the person was famous later on, or if it became a daily occurrence that they didn't know they would miss.
I imagine my neighbors sayng "oh no, Katherine is practicing, CLOSE THE WINDOW AND THE DOOR NOW!
PROFESSIONAL? Sounds wonderful??
@@iAmKristix this people are weird
It looks kinda painful watching her play without a shoulder rest
@Drive YT Brand wtf haha
My collarbone hurts
@Drive YT Brand that was kinda rude bro say sorry :(
Why? It’s totally normal. I play violin without a shoulder rest. It just means that you have a strong collarbone or something.
Kayley Prada I bow to you
Me: Why would I look someone else practicing instead of practicing myself?
Also me: *watch the entire video*
estimulate mirror neurons but I get that's was a joke hehe
I'm glad to see professionals get frustrated like I do. Also I'm for sure going to be trying out that app! looks quite useful.
Yeah!
Frustration is en route to success!
Great job, Esther! I’m a beginner cellist in 6th grade, and I’ve admired your hard work as a violinist even *before* the time that I got to see and hold my cello! You’re *such* an inspiration to me!

Yea!
07:19 OUTCH...
Then you realize how much she loves music.
Its cause she doesn't use a shoulder rest. If you do use shoulder rest that wouldn't happen. Not saying that she has to use it.and yes ouch!

To me this is Vivaldi's masterpiece! Thank you for sharing well done.
Thank you for doing this again, it is helpful to another’s process, especially a professional.
Thank you, so happy to know its helpful
I felt those violin hickies through the screen 😭😭😭
I am not a musician, I do not know how to play any instrument. I just want to look at a beautiful, positive, cheerful girl playing beautiful music.

I'm the only one who hears a crack every time she begins ?

oh haha thank you!
Thanks for recommending this app. I started practicing Rach 2 and being able to Play this with an orchestra is really helpful.
The bite from the frog at every new down bow is soooooooo satisfying
What does that mean?
@@Cranberry_haley when she does a down bow at the bottom of the bow (frog), it makes a “bite” sound
@@charlesbutcher04 oh you mean like kind of a rough screech?
@@Cranberry_haley Yes! 🙂 It projects well in the concert hall.
All I can say is WOW.. thanks so kindly for this vid and all that you have shared.
I simply LOVEEEE Summer by Vivaldi played on the violin/viola. It is such a dramatic and powerful piece ♥
Yess I love it too!
