  • If you've played the violin for even a short while, you'll be very aware of just how difficult playing a line of single note in tune can be! But before long you'll have to play not only 2, but 3 and sometimes 4 notes together, and they ALL have to be in tune! Thankfully we have our master teachers over at tonebase violin to help us out with this.
    Master the violin by learning from those who know it best. Gain access to a revolutionary library of video tutorials covering topics from technique to musicianship - all taught by the best violinists in the world.

    DOUBLE STOPS LETS GO!!

    I though i would never be able to play double stops, and after this video it just proves my point further. I don't even have more than 1 string on my violin

    This video is not meant for beginners, although a beginner can still enjoy the pyrotechnics displayed by these wonderful concert violinists. You might be able to grasp what each violinist is saying if (perhaps) you've been playing for a couple of years. I could easily play chords after one year but I didn't attempt any scales in double stops until after three years.

    I would have loved to see more talk about the bow's involvement in double-stops. Most everyone thinks about what their fingers are doing and don't realize just how much of a factor the bow is when it comes to playing 2 or 3 notes at once. More videos about bowing and tone will be excellent!🙃
    Great video, in any case, if I do say so myself. 😜

      Either fortunately or unfortunately, I can only make videos using what has been recorded and uploaded to the tonebase course library, so if there were violinists that talked about the bow's involvement (besides Han-Gorski talking about "playing like a boxer," lol) then I either missed it or it wasn't there. There are many, many hours of content on tonebase, after all.
      I've got some ideas for new videos coming up, and I would very much like to do one on tone. We'll see what I can find in the library!

    I like how some of the concert violinists do use the octave technique of putting the other fingers underneath the 4th finger but some don't. I also looked up Ray Chen's mendelssohn, in the 1st page octaves he doesn't do it either!

    • @tonebaseviolin

      The great thing about these types of videos (and the whole collection at tonebase violin from which they were taken!) is to get a broad perspective on the different ways these violinists approach various techniques. While there are certain things or ways of doing that are generally accepted, not everything works exactly the same way for everyone, so a "sampling" as it were is incredibly useful. Of course, I'd still recommend listening to what you teacher tells you, haha

      My guess is a trade of between continuous shifts consistently vs expressiveness. I personally found just 1st and 4th allows a deeper press of string for the only 2 fingers and a more powerful vibration. But then it is not quite sustainable (for me) to keep doing this with multiple octaves. For such long passages I would use other fingers to support and keep in good shape to be in tune, giving up some power

    Amazing techniques... to capture these intervals and chords of three notes synchronously on strings positioned on the round bridge, therefore which theoretically can't be reached synchronously!

    • @tonebaseviolin
      @tonebaseviolin  Год назад +3

      The trick to playing three strings at once is to play closer to the fingerboard. There is more flexion to the strings so with the correct application of pressure you will hit all three strings at once. This cannot, however, be sustained so you typically see "triple-stops" as short, dramatic notes, like in the Bruch Violin concerto: ruclips.net/video/9BeV9XDs64w/видео.html

      I thought about putting the fingerings Han-Gorski uses for thirds scales in the video, but it kind of crowded everything. I don't think I'll use this fingering myself, but it is fascinating

    you're going to need the 4th finger to work as well as the rest. for me the flesch silent exercises and similar did wonders for strength and flexibility. it has you holding down three fingers down while rasing and lowering one of them. put all your fingers down a whole step apart and try to get the extra half step with your 4th

    3:26 Jesus!No one taught me how to practice 3rd,so I have been practicing with the 4th just like that, I figured that tricks out by myself, which makes me doubt if I am allowed to develop my 3rd in this way slowly, until I watched this video 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲now I am confident with it!!🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

      It's a pretty common tuning device, but the most common things are always worth sharing. Firstly, they wouldn't be common if they weren't useful, and secondly, someone is still going to be hearing about it for the first time!

    08:27 My tip-most finger joints cannot collapse that. Good for the piano! I'm not sure about whether it's good or not for the violin 🤔. It means I can't do the sort of vibrato that relies on it.

      The notes that the tape should cover on the A string is: B, for first finger, C# for second finger, D for the third finger, and E for the fourth finger. If you run the tape straight across the finger board, it’ll be correct placement for the other strings aswell. Just make sure all your strings are in tune first.

    • @Azzne-

      I used a tuner and marked the spot with a little graphite. Double or triple check because I’ve had to move my tapes a couple times until I got it right. I bought a roll of car pin-striping tape so I can afford to redo lol.

    Virtuoso musicians (many, not all) tend to be terrible teachers. They seem to be more focused on playing and showing off. I hated masterclasses in uni for that reason. We didn't learn a thing. We just listened to flashy demonstrations of technical issues and word salad from the artists. I got more from actual teachers.

      As a fellow fiddle player, double stops are super handy in fiddle music too, if you can play them 🎻 ‘Tis a bit shallow to say this stuff is “garbage” instead of appreciating that it’s a different style and an approach that requires a much bigger technical focus. It takes an incredible amount of work to develop these skills and it won’t be worth it for everyone.
      By saying this is “crap”, how is that any better than all the classical violinists who think Irish music is just about playing fast or that say a tune is boring because they’re just reading the dots on the page? Lack of understanding and/or ability does not equal crap/bullshit/garbage
