![Bach D minor Partita - Violin Masterclass [Silberger-Kurganov]
Can we learn how to dream in the language of the Chaconne (Ciaccona)? Lets dive into the unique character of Bachs D minor Partita. Well learn how to sing and speak, how to shape the expressive quality of the music, and how to have conviction in your unique musical voice. Also we discuss nuances of phrasing, vibrato, and timing, and how these elements are both intertwined and independent. Finally, well immerse ourselves Bachs Masterpiece: the Ciaconna. Its profound exploration of structure and emotional depth proves to be infinitely renewable.

Filmed for Soviet TV in 1981, a year before Leonid Kogans death. I combined all of the clips of Kogan playing the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major from all of the episodes of the show. The footage has been restored and AI upscaled, and a high quality audio source was found, with correct pitch.
