I recently came across an ancient RCA Victor record for sale at the Goodwill featuring Fritz Kriesler and others. His playing is so charming. I can't stop listening. Thanks for keeping this wonderful music alive.
THank you so much for this insterestinng class, I liked your tecnical explanation and the maintime your suggests for freedom and to find our own version. Greetings from Italy
Thank you so much Roy Sonne!! This class helped me a lot to develop the beautiful, playful way to play this song. Greetings from Peru (South America) :D
Thanks for this wonderful, well-explained lesson. By identifying the different bow strokes, you gave my bow hand some great guidance, and my ears great pleasure. You're a treasure as a teacher.
Thank you, Robert. It's appreciative and knowledgeable reactions such as yours, that make it all worthwhile. Best wishes for violinistic growth and fulfillment.
thank you very much for your lesson on this wonderful piece "schön Rosmarin" which reminded me my lessons with my Teacher Mme Nierdre (marvelous) when I was 13/14 years old ..excellent explanations it did me a lot !! I will be working on Mozart again .. goodbye
Thank you, thank you!!! You brought this delightful piece even closer to our hearts!! I ❤the way in which you showed us how to recognise the different bow strokes. This piece I have heard since I was a small child and today I am 72. One never gets tired of listening to the lovely familiar pieces - it becomes your very own ❣️ I hope to learn and master this song - give me 3 years! 🤭
Hi Eugenie. Many thanks for your kind words. You should be able to play this piece within a month if you are ready for it. If you'd like to have a private session on it, with me, you can email me at roysonne@aol.com
@@roysonne I would see myself as a beginner Intermediate student and will gladly want to take a lesson with you once I have mastered Spiccato and have more confidance in my playing. I have downloaded this specific video. 🎻🎻😘C U 1 day!
Your masterclasses are a real treat! Every time I'm learning a new classic piece, I browse your channel to see if there's a masterclass by you! Thank you so much for sharing with your knowledge with us, it's so helpful 😊
Roy - You are awesome ! I really appreciate what you are doing at this platform. I don't think that one should go for private lessons after watching and studying your lectures here. Of course, excluding the people who wants to build a unique technique and aiming to become professional. But I will definetely have good repertoire after watching all your videos. Many Thanks !
Thank you so much for this! Thank you for your generosity to make these lessons available. You're an amazing teacher, making it look easy, sharing your expert insights. Tops! Happy 2017!
Hi Siamak! I don't think I can make that video in the near future, however I'll be happy to have a private session with you on that piece. Send me a private message on FaceBook if you are interested. Best regards.
Hi S M. Rubato means taking some freedom with the tempo, or stretching and bending the tempo, going a little slower or a little faster momentarily and then getting back into the groove, or getting back with the basic beat.
What fingering do you suggest for the chromatic progression in measure 3 (and many other places) I'm using sliding fingering 4 33 22 1 , but I can't get a clean sound. Can you suggest a better approach in this case or is this the "standard" approach? Really enjoy your masterclasses.
Hi Bob: You might try 4 43221. Since there is a tiny separation between the E and the D#, you will only have one note that is produced with a sliding finger. Also you could practice the passage starting with a legato bowing just to achieve clarity in the finger articulation. Then switch to detache, spiccato or flying staccato. The sliding finger technique is worth devoting the time to master it. You will find countless opportunities to use it.
@@roysonne Thank you for your quick reply. I will try your suggestions with my practice today. I've been working with your Dancla masterclasses among all the rest you have produced over the years. I greatly appreciate your clear, concise teaching method.
Hello. I started studying violin when I was 18 years old, now I'm 19. I had a teacher who told me I should consider quitting because it might be too late to start. This teacher gave me doubt. I'm not sure if it's worth it to continue learning. I would like your opinion as it would be an opinion of a professional.
A good teacher never will say to quit. He is not so good at ”teaching”. I started when I was 20yo. Now, I have 22. I am so motivated and I like so much to learn the violin. Sometimes, becomes very hard, I am angry, but next day, I am still practicing. My teacher told me If I will do what he told to me, someday I will be able to go at Conservatory. Thats my dream. Time is relative. Time doesnt exist! 7 years, 15 years, 20 years, 40 years. Doesnt matter!! Only matters how motivated you are and how much patience do you have!
Yep...a teacher never gives up teaching...never doubts...if not his not a real teacher... I met many aged 18-21, started the violin, within few months they are playing violin 2 in orchestra music...about grade 5...and grade 8 standard after 2-3 years...
Rosmarin = Rosemary (herb) = Rosmarinus officinalis Symbol of love, loyalty and fertility. It is also the herb dedicated to Aphrodite. It was and is used in wedding bouquets and bridal wreaths. Troubadours gave Rosemary to the lady of choice. There is also a relation to birth(newborn life) and death, but I think this is not meant in this title.
Awesone I'm learning violin I' m 60 years old and it's wonderfull has a online teacher. Thanks so much. Regards from Mexico
Muchísimas gracias, Trabis Salazar
Wow, I can actually understand the beauty this piece so much more from watching this. Wow
I'm so happy this channel exists

Thanks in turn to you montag Guttbar. You can find many recordings by Fritz Kreisler and other great artists of the past, right here on RUclips.
Thanks for your wonderful insights into this piece, maestro. With your help, I can articulate this piece and play it better.

Roy Sonne hi

Hi Mr Sonne ! would you please explain the meaning of rubato ? thank you
Hi S M. Rubato means taking some freedom with the tempo, or stretching and bending the tempo, going a little slower or a little faster momentarily and then getting back into the groove, or getting back with the basic beat.
@@roysonne I appreciate you for answering ! God bless you !
I needed this
I'm just starting out on this. Could someone please explain how to play the third measure? I can't figure out how to do the fingering.
What fingering do you suggest for the chromatic progression in measure 3 (and many other places)
I'm using sliding fingering 4 33 22 1 , but I can't get a clean sound. Can you suggest a better approach in this case or is this the "standard" approach?

watching this as a tuba soloist playing this.... close enough
coloca legenda em português por favor seus vídeos são muito bons
Have you done a masterclass on Liebsfreud and Liebeslied?
Not yet. Thanks for your interest.
could you teach like play the Vivaldi Summer??, plase!
Hi Snake. I'm not making any videos right now. But I'll keep it in mind. You might want to check out my video on Vivaldi Spring. Best wishes.
+Roy Sonne it's ok, but, I would much you could do the video Summer Vivaldi, will be so interesting 🎻, please, will do in your next video :c

I feel that if you are getting some joy and satisfaction from it, you should continue.
I do! Thank you. Once I get high enough level, I'll be able to learn by your advanced tutorials, which I most definitely will use.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a very motivating teacher. (I know you wrote this a year ago. :P)
suggestion: passacaglia by johan halvorsen
One of my favorite pieces!
Will I ever play this ?
By all means. Give it a try. It's not very difficult.
It is for me.... sigh
I've only had it for one day so far. Maybe it will get better
@@DivaDeb1234 Count on it!!!
Isn't a rosemary (in the title) just a kind of flower?
Rosmarin = Rosemary (herb) = Rosmarinus officinalis
Symbol of love, loyalty and fertility. It is also the herb dedicated to Aphrodite. It was and is used in wedding bouquets and bridal wreaths. Troubadours gave Rosemary to the lady of choice.
There is also a relation to birth(newborn life) and death, but I think this is not meant in this title.
Very interesting. Thank you !
@@roysonne You're welcome.
May I ask you: are you German or do you have German ancestors? Your surname is the German word for "sun".
The name was made up when my grandparents emigrated to this country from Poland. I don't know what the original name was.
