![The Best Paganini Cadenza - Philippe Hirschhorn [Live, 1967]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LUKxJlsKkkc/mqdefault.jpg "The Best Paganini Cadenza - Philippe Hirschhorn [Live, 1967]
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 hes the most extreme of anyone Ive 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, hes loose, otherwise, you wouldnt hear what you hear. But, look at how immovable his violin appears. On first glance you might think hes tense and gripping the violin for dear life. After all, there isnt 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.

![Simple & Powerful Violin Etudes [only known in Russia] PART 1](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Muzsd1X3sDQ/mqdefault.jpg "Simple & Powerful Violin Etudes [only known in Russia] PART 1
Can we improve our intonation, sound production, musical understanding, expression and bow technique using a simple yet beautiful 1-minute etude?
Yes! Today Im sharing the first of a set of 6 etudes by Russian pedagogue Alexsey Yanshinov. These are unique studies in that they combine several great qualities: theyre very short, theyre in 1st position, theyre 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. I not only give these to students, but love to use them as warmups myself.
