I talked to that pianist once--Brooks Smith. Asked him what it was like working with Heifetz. He laughed: "Very difficult. He knew and could play the piano parts better than I could."
When Heifetz was young, he was to meet and greet other musicians at a private retreat. He was asked to play the Mendelssohn Concerto in e minor for them, but said, "I have no accompanist nor piano part". Kreisler, the older violinist was there, and informed the rest of the fiddlers, and Heifetz, that it was no problem since he knew the piano part by heart. So the older violinist sat at the piano and he and the youthful Heifetz thrilled their friends with and impromptu performance.

They are true masters capable of at minimum being a member of some orchestra. But the side by side is revealing and explain why Heifetz recordings are special regardless of the lack of quality sound or the orchestra he is playing with. If you are not reached your 10000th hour of playing there is probably little you can get out of this other than a demonstration of the highest level of sound and technique possible.
What an authority over his craft......"Let's play it more dangerously", "Well you know something...that sounded better than the first time"....Such a Great Master and truly intimidating.
I was a guitarist too, practice trills in all intervals between all finger combinations with double stops in all intervals and it comes together nicely.
I did the same. Began at 65 ... turning 73. I learn from these masters ... I do what they say, but as Jesus said, not as they do. The key for me is "improvise" rather than "emulate". Life is too short.
I was watching Perlman’s MasterClass and he suggested listening to Heifetz, because of his perfect Intonation. this is an amazing masterclass! However, I would be terrified to be in this class with Heifetz.
hey I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video . It's just like you are trained by Heifetz. unfortunately, different than Oistrakh and Menuhin, Heifetz was rarely filmed, but seeing him teaching his method is just fabulous. .......... thanks a lot for sharing
@@allons-y933 You are right. It was awe inspiring experience Heifetz as teacher, twice every week 10am to 3 pm. To me he was like Emperor and fatherly figure. He never was temperamental or angry. Understanding each student's shortcomings. It's so admirable of him with his status how he dealt with unqualified student like me. I miss him so much, and I see him in my dream. I am Korean and male.
@Johan Karuyan Listen to the slow movements. A mawkish vibrato I never will like. His fast movements are really astonishing with such a precision, but also without any soul. I listened him so many years, but I changed to Arthur Grumiaux, who is unsurpassed in virtuosity, understanding and taste.
I would get more nervous after being corrected, but this student must have had nerves of steel. You can't get away with anything with Heifetz. He notices every detail!! No blagging possible!!
RIP the great Erick Friedman (1939-2004). From his NY Times obituary: Erick Friedman, a violinist and a professor at the Yale School of Music, died here on Tuesday. He was 64.The cause was cancer, the university announced. A child prodigy, Mr. Friedman studied at Juilliard and made his New York debut at 14. At 17, he began studying with Jascha Heifetz, with whom he recorded Bach's Concerto for Two Violins.He won the 1996 Grammy for best historical album for his participation in ''The Heifetz Collection.'' Mr. Friedman recorded for RCA with the Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony and London Symphony, among others. His recordings of the Bach Sonatas for Violin and Clavecin and the Franck and Debussy sonatas received Grammy nominations.He was conductor and music director of the Garrett Lakes Summer Festival Orchestra in Maryland and played and conducted at music festivals worldwide, including the Northwest Chamber Orchestra in Seattle, Round Top Music Festival in Texas, the Newport Music Festival and the Yale Norfolk (Conn.) Festival. In November 2000, he received the Ignace J. Paderewski Award for Distinguished Contributions to Society and Culture.
@@Piflaser thanks for information.now maybe my favorite violinist is tedi papavrami who makes also amazing transcriptions of bach works for violin.have a good day.
I love that he knows how to draw the maximum potential out of the students. Possibly the best ever violinist also an amazing pedagogue. I can tell he demands extreme work and even though he is a perfectionist he isn’t cruel about it.
I should observe though, Heifetz isn't severe or chaotic like Auer could be. He praises the students where they play well, and points out everything in an objective matter of fact way, and you shouldn't take that personally, but see it as an opportunity. He's just very professional and involved, no malice. Old school. And par for the course at any other focused workplace - the students have come to grow and improve greatly, so they must always be thinking as to how and where they can get better and even more better. He discusses a lot of stuff in just 4 hours of videos. Ayke Agus was right - he put a lot of energy into teaching. But he has a point insisting students fix the basics -- they are all talented, but still very raw. I watch masterclass videos today and times have really changed -- every single student who turns up at today's masterclasses plays at or just below concert level -- WAY more thorough in their preparation. I can't think of how you could do better until Perlman and Vengerov start to mentor them, or pick up their violins and demonstrate a few bars and then you realize what the real point of the masterclass is about. Today you can't ever go to a masterclass playing like this. I believe Heifetz's only limitation as a teacher was not getting the students to find their individuality and variety in style and interpretation that Auer was known for. I hear many different players play down to the present and they have wonderfully different interpretations of the pieces he made famous - played with very fine stylistic and personal taste. But then it took Auer the better part of his life before he figured it out. Before that he didn't turn out one prodigy after another.
I've found differences in teachers, and I think the ones that explode are frustrated because they don't know how to get through to some talented kids. Their communication isn't communicating. They may be excellent musicians, but inadequate teachers. That's supposing that the students are bright enough, and diligent. Some teachers are also slapdash in their methods - not being organized, nor prepared themselves. There's only so much time in a session and that time can be wasted if the teacher dithers over how he should proceed.
Hats off to the greatest the world has ever known.no debate.without doubt Heifetz out rules them all.misd him wish he was around today.history was made with this master of masters.never be another Heifetz.
An absolute brilliant masterclass! It's amazing to see how brilliant Maestro Heifetz was as a teacher and not just as a solo violinist! Him also being a brilliant pianist, and instructing the pianist on how to play properly with his students, just shows his wide range of knowledge. Amazing
Yup- one of the great masters. They were all old school it appears, where a god shows students "how" to play passages vs group discussions that're used now. Doesn't make it wrong- Segovia, Callas, Stern, all mirrored this way of teaching. Yes, some of the greats were meaner than others. The take away for me is that masterclasses taught you to think about playing passages easier and/or more effectively. The apprenticeship approach helps one to absorb an artist's comments. You get through the initial shock/awe, think about the concepts learned, you pick/choose what ideas work, and eventually make them a part of your own performances. My own thirty years of classical guitar playing incorporates mentoring, positive/negative comments from all my teachers, and masterclass experiences. Thanks for posting this!!!
Es sind die einfachen Dinge, die unglaublich wirken auf die Studenten, wie z.B.. haltungstechnisch oder im Takt zu spielen. Und so lösen sich nach Heifetz' Hinweise die meisten Schwierigkeiten in Luft auf. Das vermeintlich Schwierige wird plötzlich organisch und leicht. Das macht einen großen Pädagogen aus und Heifetz war einer.
Even though the first violinist is very skilled and impressive, I don't find his style of playing for this piece particularly pleasant to listen to. I'd prefer a bit of grace and elegance. But I guess when you're playing to Heifetz you're mainly focused on achieving accuracy above all else. It must be a stressful experience.
Not long after this, the first violinist here, Kojian, became the assistant concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Mehta. The concertmaster at the time was David Frisina. Eventually Kojian focused on conducting. Died way too young at 58.
I think these violinists didn’t need help from Heifetz. They already play wonderful! I believe more in the daily lessons than in a masterclass. It is impossible to remember all the advice in one lesson.
Heifetz is a good superplayer, but I don't like him in class like this the least. He always wants others to pull the same as him. Then there's no need for someone else. He pulled it all alone. This male student originally pulled it very well. The more he pointed it out, the worse it got.
"The piano must start immediately, it has the solo!" Why? If the pianist has the solo, he can start whenever he wants, an the violinist has to follow.😎
I don't think playing on a suit is too comfy ( cufflinks for crying out loud)... gooolyy, admirable, I would not be able to stand a minute with so much pressure... aahhh !!! I wish twoset violin could review (with lots of respect) one of these masterclasses... It'd be fun to see their reactions
After watching this several times, I just realized something. Is Heifetz tapping the desk with a drumstick? I love how music teachers seem to find these seemingly random objects sometimes. There’s got to be a good story behind that drumstick.
Really excellent student. But what an intimidating master. Maybe Heifetz's perfection put some people off, as he had a lot fewer famous students than other teachers.
Well as time went on Heifetz got more eccentric and turned into more of a control freak, didn't allow anyone to think of their own ideas. His shoulder injury meant he couldn't demonstrate what he wanted as before and that was a big blow. The bigger problem was that the University management changed and the new management didn't want to keep him around and so quite insultingly stopped his classes. He spent a few years teaching at home until age related issues forced him to stop. There were other problems too. Isacc Stern was a rival and so was Galamian and they took the students they spotted and made sure never to send them to Heifetz too. There was quite some politics and he was unable to play those games.
I feel their terror. I would have slunk out the back if I played on the G string so out of tune like the first guy. I mean, it's Heifetz! he could destroy you with that critical look. But, interestingly, Heifetz made no critical comment about the player's intonation; his focus was precise rhythm/meter.
Heifetz rarely corrected that. He knew they'd have to polish that anyway and if they couldn't hear themselves at this stage, there was nothing he could do to help them further either.
