These fifths are so incredibly hard and almost impossible for most to play in-tune. That ending of yours is just "Too Good" it brings tears and goosebumps out of me. Thank you too much...Augustin, you are absolutely the "Best" of the best!!!👍👍👍
I find fifths so difficult especially higher up the strings, when my thin finger tips tend to end up in between the strings. Thank you for the video, the Bartok fragment sounds spectacular!
Oh. I have the same ugly problem. I must play with collapsed joint or I cannot. Because my finger gets into the strings. I even considered to ask my Luthier to narrow string distance about a mm. at the bridge. I know sometimes, it can be made depending on the violin
Thank you again Augustin! The mistake I see often with my students (and sometimes with myself), is fixing the out-of-tune fifth by instinctively pressing the finger more. This however does not help, since the only thing that really helps is being flexible in adjusting the angle of the finger...
Como siempre, mil gracias por sus clases! Algún día espero poder tocar quintas y obtener un buen sonido...solo han de pasar unos años de mucha práctica...😊💜🎶💜🎻
Glad you adressed the topic, I'm really having a hard time with my fifths. I think I heard Hilary Hahn saying she played some fifths high up with two fingers (but she probably has very thin fingertips !). You got so much control and command on your playing... as usual !
That is possible only if you have thin fingers! But with thicker fingers, playing the fifths with the same finger becomes slightly easier. To some extent violinists search for personal solutions for their hands.
My finger is too thin to play fifth with only 1 finger but I can't play with 2 fingers because my finger is somewhat a little fat :) This video is really REALLY HELPFUL
@@AugustinHadelichViolin you and Hillary Hahn together in this kind of technique videos would be soooo much awesome! I'm on the thin fingers side. And fifths from 3rd finger 3rd position and ahead are a night mare. Only choice is collapsing joint as in guitar playing
I have thin fingers and always have to play fifths with collapsed joints and sometimes I feel like it might dislocate my fingers ~_~ Your fifths are amazingly in tune!
Practising fifths is underrated, it boosts the arm coordination and the correct positioning of your fingers, and ultimately improves intonation in every case.
Hi Augustin, I always struggled with the double stopping at the start of the Haydn C major concerto. Although this is not just 5ths, in fact the hardest part is in 3rds with a 4th finger, some of the same issues arise about which part of the finger to use and what hand position. I wondered if you have any tips on why this passage is tricky and what to do about it?
Just a wild ass gues, maybe he has the strings set really really low! Then your fingers might not get caught down under? I used to have my strings set really low anout 1/8 inch above fingerboard but it started choking out so put on a different bridge. The new bridge was higher of course. But at least it doesnt cut out any more. So its a trade off. Get better harmonics with low set strings or fall into a pit with the safety of higher action. I cant tell you what to do only suggest. Hope Ive helped. Sincerely chris.
he has a whole video on shoulder rests, and he uses a bit of foam padding under his shirt as Benjamin says, but he also discusses what else he has tried.
"...and it goes something like this". Absolutely nails the passage.
Which concerto is that?
That’s exactly what I thought! 😂
Bartok violin concerto no2 3rd movement ending :)
@@nocturnallsnake4228 He said Bartok i think

Thanks for that Augustine. 5ths are "fun" ,but I find 4ths tricky to nail.....you are right,it takes a lot of practice!
“It’s one of the hardest passages in fifths.”
**plays it perfectly in tune at performance tempo**😳
Fantástic tips! Remembering that an even fingerboard , no bumping , helps a lot.
You are so great. Giving us your knowledge as a violin god
Thanks for another super helpful video! These little nuggets of information are much appreciated.
Thanks Augustin, I wreally appreciate this kind of content.
Como siempre, mil gracias por sus clases! Algún día espero poder tocar quintas y obtener un buen sonido...solo han de pasar unos años de mucha práctica...😊💜🎶💜🎻
Thanks Dear Prof. Augustin !
omg this vid just saved my life!!!!!
i owe you one Mr Hadelich 😀🙃

Im amazed beautiful harmonics on your scales run! How did you do that?😅
4:12 *BRUH*
So good
this is the same thing as fourths on my double bass so i think this'll be useful for me too
Dang on those fifths!😳❤️
I live your lessons! Can you give a hint to thirds? Thank you so much 💖🎵🎻
Thank you!!
Sei adorabile! Grazie mille!
3rds next please!

Do you have any suggestions on how to practice 3rds and 6ths?
Thanks
Watching throughout the whole video is like:
Ok... yep... umm... make sense... Ok I'll try in my practice...Oh, I see... WAIT WHAT!!!!?????

Excuse me, wtf was that ending? 😂😅🤯🤯😍😍😍
On a side note does anybody know his setup? Like chinrest, if he uses a shoulder pad or some kind of pads for more attrition?
He uses a pad under his shirt on the left side above the shoulder. I’m not sure what chinrest he uses though
he has a whole video on shoulder rests, and he uses a bit of foam padding under his shirt as Benjamin says, but he also discusses what else he has tried.
TL;DW: Practice.
It's better to play fifths with two fingers
Do you teach via zoom? What's your email please?
verstehe verstehe
Agustin you need to get yourself a lapel mic because your too quiet 🙂
So helpful, thank you!
