    Are you saying when the bow changes direction the weight must be taken off your arm and then you hand and then the stick.
    So releasing weight in this order makes it smooth. I heard the fingers need to be like a series of springs.
    Interesting to use the painting analogy. Also how we hold a pen as we write.
    I have students try to sign their name when holding a pen in a fist position.
    👊 The writing then has little control.

    陳銳你好 謝謝你分享這個視頻 不過有一點我想要補充
    就是其實運弓手指的角度 跟的動作跟刷毛方向 在下弓的時候 還是不一樣
    小提琴手指與弓桿的角度 無論是上弓或者是下弓 基本上都是朝右的
    但是你說的沒錯 像刷油漆的那個機制還是要使用
    可是不一樣的是油漆的刷毛 或者刷子的刷柄 ( 毛筆的刷毛 筆桿 )是會因為我們上下的改變方向
    所以可以讓我們 手 的動作很順利的執行 不會感覺到很困難
    但小提琴就不一樣 沒空的時候手指 接觸公感的角度是不能 轉向的 都要一直朝下
    所以這個會讓我們 手掌-手腕-小臂-手肘-上臂-肩膀身體的轉向活動 會比較困難
    所以就必須要非常好的柔軟度
    才能在手指 不能改變 方向的情況下順利運作 運弓的動作
    這就是為什麼大人 尤其是三四十歲開始學小提琴的大人通常 都會學得很困難的原因
    因為大人通常到了一定年紀 flexibility elasticity 能力都會下降

      I am way behind and just recently ‘discovered” Ray Chen and watched this clip. I am wondering if Ray used the RUclips translation and got all of this…好提琴家您好!您可知陳先生雖然中文發音很標凖但是閱讀有限?而且他用拿筆當比例,和年齡好像不太相關吧!

    If you have stiff joints, forget about smooth bow changes. Likewise in painting.
