Thank you for these masterclass sessions! I wonder about Lalo, first movement on how to approach or control the bow as it is not symmetrical. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the tips! They are really helpful and they are keeping me motivated everyday for practicing. Would it be possible to see a Materclass about the first movement of Walton concerto? Many thanks again!
I love this cello concerto and it's amazing to see and hear it broken down like this! Thank you. (I am an adult beginner, so it will be a long ways before I can even try this music, but it is so inspiring.)
Great class, thank you so much!!! I find difficult the second theme, is it supposed to be like the horn in the introduction o may we approach it in a different way? Makes me wonder if my bows are chosen accordingly or not...
The cello player is like a tree moving in autumn, the music is like a the wind moving the tree...Acutually some complained in comments that the string players of some quartet are moving whole body from right to left when they play...I said it reminds the trees moving and the music is the wind in autumn.
Thank you so much for these great tips! I'm excited to go practice! I was wondering if you had any tips for the very beginning? I have difficulty getting good articulation at the tip and big resonant chords after that. Thanks so much!
Johannes, at 3:55 you mention "when we play double stops the intonation is different than when we play individual notes". Why would this be? Maybe because we press the string with our bow heavier than single notes?
No, he is referring to methods of tuning. A piano is tuned to equal temperament, where the distance between every half step is exactly the same. However, this is not actual "true tuning" but it's very close. True tuning of chords would be following their harmonic ratios (ex 1:2 for an octave). You know that sound when a fifth is perfectly in tune and they almost blend together, like a hug? That sound is possible with almost every interval. When tuning double stops, you should use just intonation, where major thirds are smaller, minor thirds are bigger, etc. When playing melodies, we use Pythagorean tuning, a tuning method where half steps are emphasized. For example, you may play the C# of a D major scale higher than normal to emphasize the leading tone, or the F# higher to emphasize the major scale. You can test this by playing D E F#, and then play the F# with the A. Is your F# in tune with the A? Probably not, but it sounds in tune for the SCALE. If you play the F# in tune with the A, it will sound LOW for the scale, because our ears want to hear a HIGH F# for the scale. This is why tuning a chord to a tuner is not really accurate!!! If you're tuning a third D and F#, you can check the D with the tuner, but you should tune the F# with your ears until the beating disappears! TL;DR: Strings use two tuning methods, Just intonation for chords and double stops and Pythagorean for scales. Read above for more detail about these methods.
I wish this video existed 15 years ago... These kids today are so lucky :)
Could you make a part 2 on the 1st mvt about how to do the octaves thank you 😊 😍
Saw you had a youtube channel and immediately subbed. You are the undisputed king of Saint-Saens 2 imo
People pay hundreds for this info!! Thank you for your ideas and tips!
Thank you so much Johannes to be with us in these times of trouble and loneliness !!
And the especially the last page of Dvorak 1st mvt
I'm studying it right now, I really needed that fresh perspective!
Amazing mister moser. Thanks a lot! 🎉
So ein großartiger und großzügiger Maestro! Herzlichen Dank!!
Your RUclips masterclasses are a dream come true!! ♥️
Awesome tips! Would love to see you doing Piatti masterclasses! 😉 No. 12 for example.

Well done.Concise and informative. Now all I have to do is finally learn this concerto...
Such interesting background information about this passage! And awesome, super clear tips! Thank you so much!
this was very helpful, thanks

This was SUPER helpful. Thank you so much!!!
Dvořák Violin concerto is also very nice..Some nice melodies and piano quintet and quartets too.

Amazing tips !!! Thank You
Beautiful your performance 🎻💕but it looks difficult to use a bow like you 🤔😳🎻
Great class, thank you so much!!! I find difficult the second theme, is it supposed to be like the horn in the introduction o may we approach it in a different way? Makes me wonder if my bows are chosen accordingly or not...
excente maestro, gracias !
Saludos cordiales desde Oaxaca México! Gracias por el video! Gracias por los subtítulos.🤝

Always the same concertos!
What about Lutoslawski, Johannes?
Thank goodness, this passage is such a struggle for me
You're such an amazing teacher, I've enjoyed every Masterclass 🤗 I learned a lot. I really love the way you play Dvořák! 🎶 🤗
Thanks👍👏🎶🥰🥰
