I had no idea there were that many violin techniques! When I listen to violin concerto or sonata I had no idea how much was going on beyond playing a note!
I am so impressed and overwhelmed by such variety of bow strokes, depending on the kind of technical skill on the passage that requires a particular bow stroke, definitely bow is tone, like a pen that can trace different strokes on paper except the paper are the strings.
Wooow, this is probably one of the most interesting, surprising and clear video's I have ever seen! All the names of the bowing techniques, short explainations of how it works and beautiful concert-details to show the practical performance. Such an eye-opener in 16 minutes! I will watch it again and again! Thanks Zlata, it must have been a lot of work to collect all this exemples and combine them in this overview! XXX
Thank you posting this video. I am not a Violin player, but it has helped me appreciate the complexities of this beautiful instrument and the people who play it!
Thank you very much Zlata for your reply to this. Both your comment and the demonstration by the charismatic Vivien were of immense help for me to understand better what is really meant. It was easy to imagine the sound but the detail analysis of what is involved with the bow was what was needed. At present I am on overload with building work here and getting myself together in Holland. When this is over I can seriously consider your full teaching videos. It is fun to hear the sounds off from your family. Michael
Amazing video explanation and sample. Great Job!..I never thought violin is an instrument that we can explore so many things toward them. We can make many experiments on the violin sounds
An excellent presentation. I am only learning the violin for fun... but this lesson also opened my ears and eyes as a listener! I will much more appreciate violin performances now!
Amazing video. Really, really helpful for young composers like me to go beyond the basic articulations and enrich my writing! I hope this will help me to make more interesting and pleasing lines for string players. Thank you! I definitely will recommend your channel!
Absolutely fascinating. Never dreamt that violin playing could have so many variations. I am still trying to make beinner progress so will come back to this later. I have enough technique to get right for the moment.
I'm a beginner on violin. The one technique I hear violinists do a lot is pedaling quickly between two strings, usually the A and E strings. I'm in Suzuki Book 4, Concerto No. 5 in D Major, Op. 22, 1st Mvt. Measures 87 and 88. How do I practice that technique and build up to a faster speed?
Welcome to my channel, Bill! Those are called string crossings. The rule in violin playing here, is that the faster the tempo, the less of your arm moves. So, first you've probably learned slow string crossings with your upper arm. In fast string crossings, you should keep your upper arm still and just move your fingers, wrist and perhaps a little bit of your lower arm. Thanks for giving this example, because I might make a next video on this topic. :) Let me know if this is helpful and see my current videos on string crossings right here: violinlounge.com/?s=fast+string+crossings
Good collection of violin strokes with examples from great violinists... Antal Zalai, Madoyan, Sumina Studer, Menuhin and more... Thank you for this beautiful video... This is the first video in which all different bowing techniques are beautiful demonstrated.
Thank you Zlata! I needed the name of the bowing technique in mind and at 12:28 I found it! TREMOLO! One up on my violinist daughter hahaha! I found your explanations clear, informed and engaging. And the child in the background was not a distraction, it was an enhancement. Next time, interrupt yourself and go get the baby and show it off proudly! The examples from real-world performances are a great idea and indeed, showcase your impressive encyclopedic knowledge. I could only find myself wishing to have a link or info to find the original video you clipped from just to enjoy, but that in no way detracted from your interesting delivery.
I am amazed. at so many bow techniques. The various illustrations are great. Although I'll never achieve these as those musicians,. I certainly like to know what a violist is capable of a thieving. My music appreciation has definitely been enhamced
Wow, you explained everything so well. I really enjoy listening to your tutorials, because they include theory, techniques; improper movements, and you also give the names of the music you are using exemplify the various violin/bow techniques. Thank you very much, I'm so happy I ran into. your videos.
This is fabulous, Zlata! After I do my focused practice, I always have fun with the bow, trying different things. I’m already doing some of these, but I had no idea what they were called lolol. This will give me more to try (while learning the correct terminology). Thank you so much! 💕
This is such a great video, well explained and clear, very interesting thank you. I'm constantly working on my bowing technique as well as EVERYTHING ELSE! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you.
So cool your videos.. I think you know what you're are talking about! Thank you so much!! I am playing the violin for a short time and it helps me a lot 👍👌😎 Greetings from Bavaria
Hope to see the fast suspense action bowing usually a cliché in old dramatic movies; rapid, just heard it, 'Tremolo', but many different types, so, still confused.
Hi, thank you very much for the informative videos. What about when consecutive notes are marked with dots and upstrokes without a slur? What kind of staccato is that?
Dear Zlata, this is a wonderful and helpful video, thank you very much. But what is common name for trill, vibrato, glissando...? And how it will be indicated on sheet music? Plz make video on it too. Tnq
I'm happy to read that! I already made a ton of videos about vibrato: ruclips.net/p/PLVBTuGvv2_iZE82JFD28vAcDdosOmgipS and videos on trills, grace notes and glissando are in the pipeline, so stay tuned!

Ok how do you do a martele colle at the tip like the opening of the Tchaikovsky 3rd. At the tip the bow just bounces too much it doesn't stick. All I get is a rattle.
Now I can put fancy names to what I do at the end of my practice or when I get frustrated with my left hand lol. If someone asked me to play it or it was written in my music I probably couldn't do it.
Hi Zlata! May I ask if that is the Arcus bow (top tier price range) that you're using? Is it the best of all your bows? I assume you have a collection :)
@@violinlounge fantastic, is it possible for you to make a short video on how it sounds on ex G scale so we can learn from that would be super awesome 👌 💖
That includes all the proportions to play softly, like tilting the bow, lower point of contact, less weight, maybe lower bow speed, less bow etc. Maybe this video is useful to you: violinlounge.com/how-to-practice-dynamics-in-legato-with-guest-teacher-vivien-hoffman-violin-lounge-tv-351/

Hello, in W. A. Mozart's Sonata No. 26 in B-flat Major K (Rondo-Allegro), what is the technique used starting from bar 151? is it flying spiccato? I'd be glad if you could answer me.

Guitarists have so much to learn about the different ways you can attack notes. Great video!
Glad to read it's useful even for guitarists :)

Left hand pizzicato is missing... Please include with example of Alexander Markov playing Paganini Caprice 24 variation
Well, pizz is not a bow technique, so I made a separate video on that 🤓☺️ ruclips.net/video/kjeS7Y6iLnQ/видео.html

Usually tremolo indeed!

Hi, thank you very much for the informative videos.
What about when consecutive notes are marked with dots and upstrokes without a slur? What kind of staccato is that?
For Example: in The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky : consecutive notes marked with dots & downstrokes
Usually that's collé or jeté. Check out www.violinlounge.com/bowing for more.
This is just SO helpful! Thank you - just subscribed!
Welcome!
Very useful video! Bravo 👏
Glad it’s helpful!
Dear Zlata, this is a wonderful and helpful video, thank you very much.

And how it will be indicated on sheet music?

Ok how do you do a martele colle at the tip like the opening of the Tchaikovsky 3rd. At the tip the bow just bounces too much it doesn't stick. All I get is a rattle.
Maybe try it higher up the bow where it’s less bouncy.
Zlata
Is there a name for a bowing technique where you slap the bow down at the beginning of the stroke?
I guess you mean jeté.
@@violinlounge thank you Zlata
Can you play flautando in slow tempo? (long notes)
Yes, you can mainly do that by playing around with contact point, weight and tilting the bow.
Now I can put fancy names to what I do at the end of my practice or when I get frustrated with my left hand lol. If someone asked me to play it or it was written in my music I probably couldn't do it.
Haha, yes! 🤓
Thank you so much 😊 I have an audition on Saturday and my piece is mainly staccato . This really helps! Thanks again!
Great, good luck and enjoy your audition. Let me know how it goes!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing these amazing content! Which bow stroke would be known as Jeter? Thank you!
Jeter is 'thrown' which is a little like collé.
VIOLIN LOUNGE by Violinist Zlata Understood! Thank you very much for replying
This is an amazing video.

Wonderful!
Hi Zlata! May I ask if that is the Arcus bow (top tier price range) that you're using? Is it the best of all your bows? I assume you have a collection :)
This Arcus S9 is my go-to bow, but I’ve tried the T series and like it as well.
Hi. Can you apply all these techniques on any scale for practice?
Definitely! 💪🏻
@@violinlounge fantastic, is it possible for you to make a short video on how it sounds on ex G scale so we can learn from that would be super awesome 👌 💖
@@JosesGarage101 Thanks for the suggestion. I have something in mind.
Mamma mia!!!
Ok I subscribe
Welcome 🤗
Do you by chance know Alma Love Parker Polk
Nope!
Hello Zlata, what exactly is meant by dolce in terms of bow use?
That includes all the proportions to play softly, like tilting the bow, lower point of contact, less weight, maybe lower bow speed, less bow etc. Maybe this video is useful to you: violinlounge.com/how-to-practice-dynamics-in-legato-with-guest-teacher-vivien-hoffman-violin-lounge-tv-351/
What is "frappé"?
A milkshake?
Funny that there are (according to the video) the same amount of bowing techniques as there are Caprices :D Interresting
Proximo011 and Bach’s wohltemperierte Klavier is in all 24 keys... 🤓🧐
Better get back to where we were and reborn again.
What about this left hand pizzicato with the bow? I wonder how they do this always 🤔 not even my teacher knows 😅
I made a video about that ☺️ ruclips.net/video/kjeS7Y6iLnQ/видео.html
Who is the violinist @6:08?
Leonidas Kavakos. Here's the full performance: ruclips.net/video/fWuxQyZHHEE/видео.html (in the video description you can find all links to all performances I used in the video)
Hello, in W. A. Mozart's Sonata No. 26 in B-flat Major K (Rondo-Allegro), what is the technique used starting from bar 151? is it flying spiccato? I'd be glad if you could answer me.
To make your research easier, here is the link to the video of the piece. The part I am talking about starts from minute 2:15 ruclips.net/video/ECwe23HVCrU/видео.html
Hi Arhsia, I'd say it's a regular Mozartian spiccato. A flying spiccato is with a slur above multiple notes.
@@violinlounge Thank you so muchhh!
Spiccato is like "shredding" for guitar players 😂
I'll start calling it like that to seem cool in front of teenage students, haha!
