    Sometimes I feel watching your video is like comitting a robbery. The knowledge that you have shared here is more than what some students could ever learn in a conservatory. Thank you for your passion and great insights - it definitely benefits so many violinists around the world. May your life be blessed with great health, abundance and success!

    I don’t if it has happened to alot of people too but sometimes there’s things that my teacher told me ages ago that I end up understanding just much further down the line because I didn’t feel aware if it before.
    I think the real difficulty in violin playing is that even though it’s simple motions, to achieve them you need to have much more awareness of each part of your body to isolate what needs to be used. The more consistency you want, the more awareness is required.

      @@RatPfink66 Not really sure why the caps 😅… Teachers can help you get there but understanding is something that comes from the student. The whole point of my comment is not that it was my teacher’s responsibility that it took me time to understand, it’s that in my opinion what makes it hard is in fact realizing it internally. And that’s why even the greats like Pablo Casals said still to be making progress after their practices.

  • @jackplaysviola6428
    @jackplaysviola6428 Рік тому +3

    I’m curious, have you read much into Dounis’s pedagogue? He believes that the fingers shouldn’t stay in a fixed structure directly above the string but rather in a limp state where your pinky might not be as close. There’s a wind back of the finger lever before the drop of the finger and a very fast and articulate approach to the string where the finger strikes the string pushes it to the finger board and releases to the light finger pressure you mentioned earlier. I’ve found this fast strike and release helps a lot with vibrato because the energy and release allows the finger to roll more naturally as a response to that drop movement.
    The fast drop also helps with intonation because the signals in your brain are coming from more of a “reflex”. If the movement is too slow then your brain is sending “start” “stop” “start” “stop” messages to the finger which leads to inaccuracies in finger placement. It’s like when your eye is tracking movement there’s little skips and stops when the tracking is slow, but when it’s faster and jumping from one side of the ball to the next then there is no little stutters.
    I hope this all makes sense, would love to know your thoughts.

    • @MurphyMusicAcademy
      @MurphyMusicAcademy  Рік тому

      I'm not familiar with Dounis, beyond what others have mentioned to me. Some of the things I hear sound like what I teach, and others not so much, which I suppose is to be expected. I certainly agree you want to have most of your actions being a reflex and reaction, rather than having to think consciously about it, but I don't think developing a consistent frame to the hand gets in the way of this. I rather think it helps.
      Someday, I'll have the time to read and study again and I will give Dounis' writings the time they deserve. . .

She was a competent, amateur, second violin, rising to the level of back row of the second violins in a provincial symphony orchestra. She derived much pleasure from playing, especially in quartets at home, just for fun. Who could ever beat that? It is because of her that I love the violin. I may not play it, but I love it.

    one of the first things i noticed while starting closed notes is it takes basically no pressure to make it shift to the note, but i worried it was still gonna be bad technique, so id been wondering. thank you for bringing this up, Murphy. still struggling with keeping the fingers not touching the strings until i need them to without being too far to play efficiently though

      It's an art, for sure. One of the best exercises I know is Sevcik Op 1 to practice this sort of thing. It's so simple, just groups of 4 notes at a time at first, but that simplicity allows you to really work on your hand frame and finger action. I give it to almost every student when they first start working with me

Con el paso del tiempo vamos eliminando lo que no es útil, y optimizamos nuestra manera de tocar...

    Love this video and very timely for me as I came to this conclusion yesterday whilst watching a really good chamber music group playing live. I realised I don’t have a stable left hand shape so consequently my fingers don’t fall back in the same place each time!! Any exercises/videos you have to correct this fault please?!! They/you make it look so simple in that your wrist/hand frame appears to stay the same and only the fingers move . So much more efficient!! Thanks.

    • @MurphyMusicAcademy
      @MurphyMusicAcademy  Рік тому +1

      The best exercises for this are in Sevcik Op. 1, but of course the key is HOW you practice it. It starts with only groupings of 4 notes, and you should play those note groupings over and over again until your fingers fall in the same way every time. Start slow, one note per bow, then 2, then 4 and then 8, getting slightly faster each time you play more notes per bow. ONLY move on to the faster iteration after your fingers are moving consistently in the same, efficient pattern.

    Great video! I think another good way to phrase this is "straightforward". Many times the problem/hurdle is straightforward, but execution is a lot more difficult than just stating what to do. Just because the end goal is clear doesn't mean the journey will be. Also, at least for me, I find I can easily get more tense when I think too much about simplifying/relaxing. Being aware without overly fixating on a particular aspect of playing is a skill in and of itself (e.g. noticing certain notes in a scale are out of tune but waiting until after the whole scale to evaluate and improve it for next time).
    And, speaking of Hadelich, his philosophy of simplifying technique (to an extent) to serve the music better I find great. Anyone who hasn't seen his Ask Augustin series of videos should watch some of them; he has a lot of gems.

    • @MurphyMusicAcademy
      @MurphyMusicAcademy  Рік тому +5

      "Being aware without overly fixating on a particular aspect of playing is a skill in and of itself"
      Bang on. To me, though, this is another facet of the simplicity of violin playing. I'll often tell my students (and myself!) to play as if they could not miss a note. If you can successfully convince your mind of this, then you'd be surprised how much better you'll play. However, you will inevitably miss a note, and so easily you can be thrown from this mindset. I've been working for years to be comfortable with "just playing" and not trying to micromanage, and just now I feel like my mind is letting me handle things in a simple, or as you said, straightforward manner.

  • @jackplaysviola6428
    @jackplaysviola6428 Рік тому

    At 13:29 you point out that slowing down on the last 4 sixteenth notes disrupts the musical line? I’m wondering why that is. Because Augustin does that same thing at 14:17. I believe that slowing does provide greater emphasis of an event ending because your ear is able to absorb each sixteenth note of the slow down as a sign of arrival.

    • @MurphyMusicAcademy
      @MurphyMusicAcademy  Рік тому +1

      It's not the slowing itself, it's the degree. Hadelich's ritardando is much less and allows for the momentum of the music to still move through it, not disrupting the musical line. The student's however is so dramatic that it completely cuts of the musical momentum

    @Ox4k1xO Рік тому

    I think you forgot one crucial thing, which majorly affects the left hand dynamics; i.e. holding the violin with your chin. If the violin is not sufficiently locked in place by your chin, the left hand needs to take over and thus a) the fingers need to press more on the strings b) the left hand needs to hold the violin and the frame shifting suffers from it and c) vibrato will also suffer from it. Overall stiffening the left hand.Thus, I hypothesise that in order to simplify your playing you'd have to make sure that your overall posture and stance is corrected first. The rest should follow. What are your thoughts on this?

      @@MurphyMusicAcademy well hearing the differences between the student and Hadelich was valuable. Plus id never heard of Hadelich. What a repertoire he's got!! But really it was just a cheeky testament to how good your content is. So Thanks

    I think ladies that authentically prayed for me or sided with me on whatever form some kind of psychic bond with me. And when other dudes dominate them sexually, it had an adverse effect on me physiologically. I'm over it now. I just expect that shit from everyone now.

    Anyone else hate it when people add things that aren't in the score? Rubato, accents, etc?

      Music is not all about whatever that can be notated or indicated. Throughout the history on ocassions, even the composers themselves did not adhere to their own written expressions. There are some music that can sound great even though they are badly played, but there are music that sounded horrible when played 'correctly', because context, traditions, history and intuitions have to be considered as well. And if we want a "perfect" performance as dictated by the score, we might as well leave it to AI. I think some people do need to broaden their perspectives on how music should be played. We may or may not be convinvced with how the musician interprets the music but I guess that's the beauty of this art - we don't want everyone sound the same. I guess hating on 'unkosher' interpretation is not a good point to start. The snobbism and gatekeeping made classical music so unappealing to many.

      You don’t have to like her. But you’ve got to respect her skill. I like HH. See seems super nice. Her fans on a whole are too fanatical and single minded however.

      Hahn is brilliant, but far from my favorite, though I think she's become much more musically interesting in the past few years. Her technique is insane (last movement of Barber is otherworldly). She does have some annoying fans, for sure. The number of comments I got from my first video on how to not play with a shoulder rest that went something along the lines of "but Hilary Hahn plays with a shoulder rest" was far too many
