My scale system secrets. I would love to share my scale system series with you. They are the simplest, most friendly and helpful scales that have accompanied me all my life. Our instrument is almost 10 cms bigger than a violin. We need solid techniques to maintain flexibility of the fingers, since we have to carry a heavy viola and bow. I believe that the following techniques serve this purpose...

Naja…..

She is such an icon!
Please keep making educational video❤❤
Bravo
Maestro!!! 👏👏👏
Magnificent!
Great. Thank you❤
Merci!
🎉🎉🎉
the viola solo is under-miked, and too often lost in the crowd. AND there is NO EXCUSE for a violist of her stature to be reading from sheet music - she should be playing from memory! I was nowhere near her stature, and I ALWAYS played from memory!
What is more important, the music itself or whether one plays with sheet music or not? Some musicians play with sheet music because they are nervous, some because they were hired in the very last moment as replacements, some had emergencies preventing them from learning a piece by heart due to lack of practice time, etc. Why be so judgemental? Bringing this kind of expectations to a performance, you are automatically setting yourself up for disappointment.
You always play from memory, so what?
Random UA-camr disrespects person with legendary career. Yawn. Primrose in his writings said he thought memorization requirements were not intrinsically artistic.
She is 77 in this recording
More. Please, more. Please.

That's always a pleasure to hear Nobuko playing!!! My thoughts returns to the beautiful period in Detmold. Thanks! Stefano Zanobini
Tout en douceur et profondeur. Bravo!
Fantastic fingerings! Thank you. I would love the minors (!) :-) in another few videos!
I love really love this scale system series sharing!! For the arpeggio, hope to have a series of videos!! thanks☺️
Lovely conductor, lovely orchestra, wonderful Nabuko Imai, and wonderful Berlioz. What a treat!
Beautiful playing, and such a wonderful sound from the orchestra. So glad I discovered this on YT.
Bravo 👏
Best of the best, what an interpretation!!!
💐💐💐❤
Dear Nobuko, This was beautiful to watch. I have such happy memories of working with you in Sion, and am so glad you are able to perform like this!

É uma verdadeira Ninja Samurai da Viola 😁
ありがとございます. Very good interpretation!
A great BRAVA and best wishes from Berlin, Germany, Nobuko
Beautiful Pavane!!:)
Bravo!!
Your technique and clarity of sound are so inspirational. Like others, I'm now really motivated to do my scale work today! Thank you.
Fantastic!!
Such a noble sound, from a noble instrument (a rare Guarneri) and masterfully played by Ms. Imai, one of the world's greatest violists!
This rendering full of temperament and warmth of spirit of Harold made my day today and showed the wonderful strength of the viola if played by an artist of the incredible stature of Nobuko Imai. Bravisimo.
Hi Nobuko, you’re always an inspiration for me, hope to be watching more of your live performances around here.
Bravo!!
Beautiful! 💐
❤️❤️❤️🌅
Great Nobuko, always very musical!!! Greetings from Castellon in Spain!
Wow she even went for the octave up C! Impressive scaling :)
You didn't *really* think the master was just going to give us two octaves only did you? ;P
I love this video and the helpful explanation! Maintaining the same hand position from first to nth position gives it a nice flow. I was so inspired, I started practicing immediately, which is a minor miracle. Thank you Nobuko!
Excelente, un gran aplauso para todos estos músicos talentosos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So nice to see you. Even listening to simple scales gives me joy.
Fast shifting, i need to learn this one... 😺
Tehnks for sharing this! Is awesome and fun!
