Welcome to my new violin masterclass video series BestPractice. I am looking forward to sharing my ideas on the craft of violin playing and building the artist's technique! Today we are looking at a lesser known violin exercise from Eugène Ysaÿe. This is a wonderful part of my daily routine and it improves the control and beauty of your sound, the clarity and accuracy of your left hand, and it gives us insight into Ysaye’s music.
