2-finger exercise for shifting, vibrato, sound production & high positions [violin technique] Daniel Kurganov, Violinist 2021-03-29 | Today we’re looking at 3 versions of a favorite violin exercise of mine. I practice this everyday to warm up my technique and expand my abilities. It’s incredibly helpful for honing vibrato, shifts, sound production and more. The idea of playing only with 2 fingers at a time is game-changing! See which of these 3 variations (by Hrimaly, Yost and Gola) you like the most. By the way, most of my videos have accurate Spanish captions available now thanks to my student Rocio.

My favorite music stand. Daniel Kurganov, Violinist 2022-11-06 | Artist and craftsman, Michael Norris has been designing and creating beautiful and functional, custom-made music stands for almost 30 years. A musician in his own right, who plays harmonium and guitar, he was determined to design the perfect music stand that would meet the specific needs of fellow musicians (amateur and professional), conductors, music students and schools, church choirs, chamber ensembles, and others.facebook.com/misterstandmanhttp://www.misterstandman.comMichael handcrafts his music stands from a small shop behind his log home in the forest high about Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho. Though he lives mostly off the grid in a rural area (he hasn’t had a TV in 35 years!), Michael still ships his products to customers worldwide, and of course, across the US. He offers more than 75 designs, available in many different kinds of wood, and a variety of stains.Though his business keeps him busy, Michael takes time to marvel at the incredible natural beauty that surrounds him. He is an avid hiker and photographer. In addition, he’s been practicing yoga for 15 years and is an accomplished dancer.Meet Michael…What drew you to your chosen craft?I liked to work with my hands making stuff and was married to a musician at the time who wanted a music stand so I made her one from scratch.What do you enjoy most about your craft?I like the handwritten letters that customers write me to say how well-handcrafted the stands are.Why is it important for people to make things with their own hands?Because it helps in our economy that stuff is made here and not overseas!In what ways are handmade goods better than those that are mass-produced?The handmade stuff is usually better in quality and appearance and will last far longer.What does the future hold for your type of work?Not too sure. Hopefully, I can get a few more years of making these stands before China copies me![Text from Handcrafted America / Jill Wagner]

The Best Paganini Cadenza - Philippe Hirschhorn [Live, 1967] Daniel Kurganov, Violinist 2022-07-08 | The complete "Sauret" cadenza from the Violin Concerto No. 1, Op. 6, composed by Niccolò Paganini. Hirschhorn had an amazing combination of intensity, sensitivity, taste, obsession and elegance. Things to notice: - Look at how low his right arm is, especially when acquiring the G string. Made even more extreme by the fact that his instrument is very flat on his shoulder. I think he's the most extreme of anyone I've seen in that regard. Notice how his hand/fingers "sink" into the string as a result of this right arm anticipation.- Is he tense or is he loose? Of course, he's loose, otherwise, you wouldn't hear what you hear. But, look at how immovable his violin appears. On first glance you might think he's tense and gripping the violin for dear life. After all, there isn't much in the way of 'organic swaying' up/down/sideways with the instrument. The violin is sitting on an immovable cloud, and then hands are dancing around it in perfect harmony. You can see the result of an absolute obsession with the fundamentals of technique. Putting everything in its place without force.Live recording with enhanced audio. Brussels 1967, after he won the gold medal at the Queen Elisabeth Competition.Footage provided by MeloClassic. They have amazing selections of restored rare recordings.

Experience the ‘da Vinci’ Stradivari | $15.3 Million Violin Sold Daniel Kurganov, Violinist 2022-06-23 | I know @twosetviolin already did it. But did they really?? Here's an exclusive peek into what I consider to be one of the best violins in existence, and probably the best I've ever tried: The 1714 Antonio Stradivari (Stradivarius) violin "da Vinci, ex-Toscha Seidel". Thank you to Jason Price of Tarisio and violin maker Andrew Ryan for taking me along for such a ride, just before this violin is sold and 'floats away'. This video was filmed June 7, 2022 (before the end of the auction). The violin has since sold for $15.3 million! In this video, I'll demonstrate different excerpts to try to highlight the qualities of the instrument. Also, Jason Price will go over some history, and Andrew Ryan will analyze the qualities of this instrument and explain some elements of acoustics, varnish, and craftsmanship that make this instrument so special.Toscha Seidel is one of my great violin heroes. His sound was an early inspiration for me, and it's a real privilege to feel his spirit through this instrument.

For personal educational use only.► http://www.payhip.com/violinSupport the channel► http://patreon.com/artiststechniqueLike such other assimilated German-speaking Czech Jews as Franz Kafka and Gustav Mahler, Viktor Ullmann lived a life of multiple estrangements, cut off from Czech nationalism, German anti-Semitism, and Jewish orthodoxy.The Three Yiddish Songs, Op. 53 were composed during his imprisonment in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. He was later transferred to Auschwitz and was killed. The songs are based on Yiddish folk tunes and poetry from the 1930's Jüdische Liederbuch collection. The works are more complex than they seem–rich with inner voices, syncopated rhythms, and discordant harmonies, reflecting contemporary musical styles.Ullmann combines folksong and art song under the unifying theme of loneliness and longing.1. Di Beryozkele - Berjoskele - Little BirchA reflection within Yiddish music. Somber, longing. The singer asks a little birch tree to act as a mediator between herself and the divine by sending prayers to end her yearnings. It's a song about the estrangement of the poem’s narrator, a visitor to a village, whose prayers will not be understood by the local god. Facing the confusion of the modern world which disrupts the coming of age, the discovery of identity, and the decision to cross borders demanded by rites of passage. 2. Margaritkelekh - Margarithelech - Little DaisyA young girl, Chavele, sings carefree in the forest, and enjoys the delights of nature and of a young man who visits her.3. A meydl in di yorn - A Mejdel in die Johren - A Maiden No Longer YoungThe story of a no-longer-young woman being left at the altar. The wedding celebration that never happened is characterized by syncopation. The text is a morality play meant to teach young women to choose wisely when deciding on whom to marry :)

The concept of legato therefore hinges on an acute sensitivity to what is between the notes. I find this to be a universal quality in musical traditions around the world. Take, for example, Indian Classical music: entire emotional and narrative concepts are embedded into the journey one takes between notes. It’s actually formalized into techniques called kampitam, and various gestures such as meend, gamak, and jaaru represent a shared need to weave something sublime into the fabric of notation. The genre-hopping western classical violinist Gilles Apap spent years studying this art form and explores this very concept here: youtu.be/3BDlvFTFrdY. Can we draw some parallels between these sonic values and the emblematic portamenti of Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, George Enescu, Yehudi Menuhin, David Oistrakh and other greats? To this day, these techniques and aesthetic principles remain a sort of idiosyncrasy in the violin world. I imagine a day when they are much more than that – perhaps even formalized and widespread modes of expression, as their counterparts are in the Indian Classical tradition.

Stephanie Ann Boyd - Aurora | Live from Merkin Hall | World Premiere [Kurganov/Finehouse Duo] Daniel Kurganov, Violinist 2022-01-22 | "When Daniel Kurganov asked for a piece that fit a starry celestial theme and I wanted something that might serve as a nod to his recent wedding, I found myself writing Aurora. Inspiration came from the quietude and solace that can be felt right before dawn; how this space changes when one chooses a mate to spend all dawns with.Origin: the meaning of Aurora in Latin is "dawn", and also referred to Aurora, the Roman goddess of sunrise."Excerpt from recital at Merkin Hall, NYC -- Oct.12, 2021Daniel Kurganov, violinConstantine Finehouse, piano
What is true violin legato? Daniel Kurganov, Violinist 2022-01-11 | Legato, from the Italian legare, which means “to bind /tie together,” is one of those words that has taken on various meanings in the past, and remains varied in its interpretation today. Is it a bow stroke? Is it a type of articulation? Is it an expressive idea, or relic from the past? I would say all of the above! Most crucially, it is a way of sounding – a sense of intense gravity between notes. It is an act of striving towards something, and the resulting line is always greater than the sum of its individual notes. All of this must be heard, experienced and felt – it cannot be described. In this latest edition of my BestPractice Violin Masterclass series, we will try to excite all of the senses so that we may deeply feel the legato tradition and produce a beautiful cantilena.To support my channel directly and take part in the new PLAY WITH ME:► http://patreon.com/artiststechniqueAccompanying article on STRAD Magazine: thestrad.com/playing-and-teaching/what-is-true-violin-legato/14222.articleVIDEO CHAPTERS=====================00:00 - What is Legato?02:10 - History of Bel Canto and Legato05:59 - Basics of Legato Technique06:55 - Galamian Exercise for Fundamental Legato08:40 - [my variations on the exercise]10:43 - cavaet!11:55 - LEFT HAND LEGATO12:45 - LH during string crossings [Kreutzer No.14]13:47 - LH clarity during legato [Rachmaninoff Vocalise]15:11 - Rhythm during legato15:38 - Sensitivity of right-hand fingers16:45 - Impulse Vibrato [Mozart Violin Concerto no.4]19:06 - Shifting in Legato [Mendelssohn Violin Concerto]22:31 - Exercise to improve hiding shifts22:59 - Expressive shifts (portamenti)24:42 - RIGHT HAND LEGATO25:02 - Breath of the sound [Brahms Violin Concerto]27:05 - Exercise for a ‘shape-shifting’ hand29:54 - Tricky spot for legato in the Brahms31:10 - Bow distribution31:51 - SON FILE exercise for development of sound33:57 - Legato doesn’t mean no emphasis on certain notes34:52 - Ties / Slurs vs Legato35:45 - Preview of Part 2 !====================Check out my NEW ALBUM for the Orchid Classics label: Rhythm & The Borrowed Past►orchid-music.lnk.to/danielkurganovSupport the channel through crypto:ETH: 0x3880842448b74D306F5154b4B71181E0E03F9795🎻 VIOLIN LESSONS ► theviolin@outlook.com🎭 RECENT PERFORMANCE ► youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjDCDd6U-QQ4gS0zHaWAULx1jJDQ1M9U1💿 PREVIOUS ALBUM ► http://hyperurl.co/5tbpdm🌐 OFFICIAL WEBSITE ► http://www.kurganov.org🤵 FACEBOOK ► http://www.fb.com/dkviolin🎥 MY VIDEO PRODUCTION COMPANY ► http://www.overtoneartists.comArguably more important than the quality of the notes themselves is how we bind them together.

These are unique studies in that they combine several great qualities: they're very short, they're in 1st position, they're musical and expressive, they work on multiple aspects of technique in a clever way, and they are perfect for bowing variations. No matter if you are a professional violinist or an advancing amateur, these charming works will enrich your abilities.
