    Is this reconcilable with his supposed opinion that using arm weight was illogical? I believe there is a quote along the lines of "Using arm weight for tone production is about as logical as leaning on a bell to make it ring". I have heard advice from everything ranging from "Keep your arm suspended and feel like it's floating. All control of pressure and tone comes from pronation and thumb pressure" to "Hang with your arm, pull from the back and sink into the string" It seems like this shouldn't be a controversial subject, because it's just physics in the end. Maybe it's a problem of language?

    I really appreciate your analysis and comments. The use of tempered scales started only in the 16th century, when sharpened leading notes made the older system of modes disintegrate. Temperament was developed to make acceptable within the constraint of using of instruments such as the piano that are not capable of varying the intonation of individual notes. Before the introduction of tempered scales the concept of music or any form of music transcription was more generally synesthetically related to natural phenomena such as colors and planetary/astrological correspondences and was generally based on natural tonal relationships. Indeed Isaac Newton explored forms of tonality. The fairly recent more careful exploration of microtonality is relavent. Tolgahan Çoğulu's YT microtonal guitar channel has a great deal of interesting posts on this, such as "18 intervals in perfect 5th instead of 7" ; "36 tones per octave and an actual song".. Fred Lerdahl's book "tonal Pitch Space" which treats tonality from a psychoacoustic standpoint, although technical and not simplistic is also relevant. Also to be considered is the sitar music of India with its Ten Parent Scales, known as “Thaat” that are always heptatonic and must include one each of the seven notes (swara) - sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha and ni. and has similarities to modes in ancient Greek music. Variations arise due to the different variants (natural, flat, or sharp) used. and ragas, which are more flexible in the number of notes they can include,

    Are your open strings tuned in Perfect Fifths or do you narrow the fifths? Very interesting video.

    • @BaylaKeyes
      @BaylaKeyes 13 днів тому

      This is what I recommend: Bayla Keyes’s Compromise Violin Tuning - recommended for all situations To tune the violin in a way which will allow you the best of many possible worlds of intonation, purchase a tuner/drone which has a variable A and which sounds all tones. Tune your A and D strings with the tuner/drone note at A=441; match the A of the drone exactly, then turn the dial to D and match your open D string to the drone D exactly. Tune G with tuner/drone at A=440, but with the dial turned to sound the note G. Tune E with tuner/drone at A=442, but with the dial turned to sound the note E. (Note: If you don’t have a movable tuner, tune A to 440, tune D to A in a VERY TIGHT fifth, tune G to D in a SLIGHTLY TIGHT fifth, tune E to A in a SLIGHTLY TIGHT fifth.) Your goal is to squeeze your beautiful open fifths a little, but not as much as an equal-tempered piano would. Note that your open strings will create fifths which are smaller than perfectly open fifths, but in the case of G-D and A-E, wider than those of the equal-tempered piano. Open Fifths (Pythagorean) E: tuner at A = 443 A: tuner at A = 441 D: tuner at A = 440-439 G: tuner at A = 439-438 Equal Temperament (Piano) E: tuner at A = 441 A: tuner at A = 441 D: tuner at A = 441 G: tuner at A = 441 Compromise Tuning (Keyes) E: tuner at A = 442 A: tuner at A = 441 D: tuner at A = 441 G: tuner at A = 440 Tuned using Open Fifths, the violin’s acoustical properties will be fully apparent; the instrument will ring gloriously. However, the G string (and possibly the D) will be noticeably flat to the piano, and the E will be noticeably sharp; the violinist will be likely to play flat on the bottom of the instrument, and sharp on the top. Furthermore, in C Major, a chord using open G and open E (i.e. G-G-C-E) will sound nasty, because the distances will be too wide. With the cello C string the problem is exacerbated. Tuned using Equal Temperament, the violin’s open strings will match the piano perfectly, and playing in tune should be considerably easier, all over the instrument. However, the violin’s acoustical properties will be rendered mute; the instrument will sound like a cigar box. It will actually feel harder to produce a sound, because there will be no sympathetic vibrations from your fifths. With Compromise Tuning, the violin will be able to have some ring from its outer fifths, while preventing the wide and disconcerting spread between G and E; furthermore it will be close enough to the piano pitches corresponding to its open strings to prevent discord when playing with piano. The G string will be SLIGHTLY flat to the piano and the E SLIGHTLY sharp, but not enough to trouble the listener. When playing with cello, the violin E will not be so disconcertingly high to the cello C string. Let me know what you think!

    Runs are very hard in an audition (especially with the addition of nerves* in live auditions) setting when your fingers are sweating. I find that it's very challenging to have the mental sync between brain and fingers going through a continuous tape to do preliminary rounds. I was told to have perfect intonation is to practice accuracy and precision slowly note by note ... and with lots of patience.

    Thank you for all your videos. I do have a tensed left thumb. I was told that it may be because it sits too close to the scroll. Could that be an explanation? I am asking because I like having my thumb close to the scroll as a counterbalance to my pinky.

    • @danca4
      @danca4 18 днів тому

      Good morning ( I'm in Italy, now ), for me Ego is very important. In my opinion intonation cant' be perfect, but ewery one has the possibility to decide up to the level of intonation he want to arrive: in a competition, in a public sala or during a meeting inside a party. We have an intonation wen we practice in order to going up the quality. But wen we play in public I prefere think only to the Ego, to my Idea of music in in that moment. Exactely wen we speak. In my opinion, we have the moment in which we think to improve and the momoment in weach we are in performance. In performance I live with the mistake. The music can be also inside the mistake, first of all in performance.

    As a child i had an accident with my left thumb, and the doctor has removed my nail on it. So when i played violin, i had pain on my thumb, because it touched the neck. I have learned, that when i do not touch it to the neck of the violin, it does not hurt and still can play… i did it for half a year. From that moment my left hand is much better.
