    That bad student imitation at the end must have been the most difficult performance of his career.

    How incredible that these sessions were filmed -- what a gem to watch.

    It's certainly Bach from another century, but everything Heifetz says to the guy playing the Chaconne is absolutely spot on. This is extremely insightful. But who am I to judge?

    Lovely to watch his work on the Chaconne - he was arguably better than anyone worldwide when he played this ; there was no greater authority. As for the conduct of his master classes, he had a way of going about it which his more robust students could cope with and appreciated, but no doubt they were fearsome things .... his students Ayke Agus and Sherry Kloss write interestingly and at length about this. He was a performer first and foremost and believed that you could only make it in that very tough world if you could cope with real challenges, and he certainly offered them to his students - for example, they wouid be asked suddenly to play a piece they had not looked at for months, or to tune a string sharp or flat and then compensate while playing, or to play with completely unfamiliar fingerings, and all this before the most controlled and technically adept violinist on the planet. It looks(and is) gruelling, but they were used to it and in many cases appreciated it. If it didn't work, he would ask the student to leave the class, or the student might decide that for himself - and despite his largely unsmiling manner, he was naturally polite and this was done without rancour.

    Incredible that younger (I assume) critics here cannot recognise a focused, amiable and polite teacher and one with a dry sense of humour. He absolutely has the respect of his pupils. If he tipped toed around the sensitivities of each and every student as I know a lot of teachers have to do now they would would learn less and be less inspired.

      When he asks for something the student hasn't prepared, it tells you how understanding he is about to be, what he expects the student to get out of the experience. I also thought he was quite funny.

    • @srinitaaigaura
      @srinitaaigaura 4 года назад +1

      @@deenibeeniable He was keen on pushing students past their limits. How else are you going to improve if you're not ready? Heifetz played in war zones in WW2, often having to play many encores on request. Other than those he went on to play 60 concerts without repeating a number. Of course he would be demanding.
      If a wannabe world class violinist has the emotional fragility of today's Karen's they better find a career as counselling victim rather than be in a masterclass.

    Inspiring excellent techniques of bowing and fingering to play violin the queen of all instrument's, and art for perfection and a source to learn from great Musician Jascha Heifetz. God bless him and bless all musicians to learn from search great humble musician.

    • @PreservationEnthusiast
      @PreservationEnthusiast 9 лет назад

      He wasn't that humble. He used to smack students on the hands with his drumstick if they didn't play it like he wanted. Also at the end you will see him making fun of someone with inferior technique. Hardly humble to ridicule less fortunate or skillful people.

      Tiying Huang One interesting story I know about him is he told his most famous pupil Freidman not to play in the Tchaikovsky competition because the Russians would mark down the Jewish foreigner no matter how well he played. Freidman ignored him, and got trashed in the competition as Heifitz predicted. Even though they had been great friends, Heifitz disowned Freidman for ignoring his advice and they hardly spoke again.

    Who's to say how Bach wanted his music to be played. Someone mentioned that Heifetz's Bach was from another century, it doesn't make it wrong.

    • @voraciousreader3341
      @voraciousreader3341 Год назад +1

      There are several great violinists from recorded time onward….but which of them is the “BEST” remains in the arena of individual taste, because appreciation within this arena of the arts and artists in absolutely subjective….there is no objective measure! People who sell the most albums, for example, are perhaps more popular….but that doesn’t make the person the best artist; it simply makes s/he the winner of anything except popular opinion. And I’ve noticed again and again how a person’s favorite artist is the one they believe to be “The Best of All Time”! If that isn’t blatant subjectivity, I don’t know what is!

  • @TheIK2009
    @TheIK2009 4 месяца назад

    Why the students fo not feel what is necessary in the phrase? Why play music if it doesn't speak to you? I am not a violonist,but sing it inside and know what I want. The instrumental skill and natural adjustment in order to obtain the wanted result should resolve problems.We have to search for it. It should be a reflex.

      In his biography (Ayke Agus) it's written that he didn't strictly imitate one bad student here. Heifetz just liked these musical jokes and improvised them on the spot, not mocking anyone in particular.

    The lesson on che Chaconne is simply horrible, maybe he never saw the Bach Manuscript in his life, if he likes to plays the horrible romantic modification like at 16:42 ok, but asking to a pupil to play like that, is a nonsense...it is diseducative.

    • @rohannr4255

      Rudel23 considering the fact that Bach apparently wrote this piece in remembrance of hi dead wife, the piece can be considered as romantic.
