- Hello everyone! in this new Q&A I answer some of the questions that you left me in the comments in previous video, love connecting with you like this, hope you enjoy the video!
Very informative and thanks to all of you for asking the right questions. I love Pablo's humility, he talks straight from the heart in a very honest way which is so refreshing. Pablo you give hope to all of us young and not so young.
Excellent advice, wisdom! Musicians have to put up with so many contingencies, some they create. Acoustics-had that problem! My string ensemble played for an outdoor wedding during a bad mosquito infestation. Everyone went inside the building and we had to stay outside and get attacked. We played in an orchestra where the conductor had to have flutes & clarinets at the front, strings in the back. I played in a university orchestra where brass outnumbered strings. Another university concert: the principle cellist forgot his music and I had to give him mine and leave the stage. You're 100% correct about easy pieces being difficult. I'm guilty of playing overly difficult pieces at recitals but I still survived, had great accompanists cover for me. It's a different world here in South Texas!
Thank you so much for this Q and A! Great advice given and a great reminder that all musicians go through these dilemmas!
Excelentes consejos! Gracias Pablo the great!
Great content! Thanks Pablo
Muy interesante, como siempre. Muchas Gracias Pablo!
Siempre das un consejo adecuado para cada situación Pablo, Súper valioso vídeo, como todos. Muchas gracias!! 😊
Adoro el efecto que me producen tus videos, Pablo. Ahora siento un deseo tremendo de ir a tocar. Gracias por los consejos :)
Thanks for answering!
Llegas en el mejor momento, gracias ❤️
So sad you had to cancel your 7/30 concert with SF Symphony. We looked forward so much to hear your Schumann!
Angela’s comment was fantastic, I went through that situation for quite a long time, and it’s fantastic to find better and smarter ways to practice. Quality really matters and really pays off in the long run!
Thank you so much for taking your time to answer to questions, your insights are very valued here!
¡Muchas gracias!
Q&A : When you were younger, how did you manage to work enough the cello and also go to school ?
q&a: how much do you practice a piece before a concert?
p.a. thank you for your advices!
Q&A.
Pablo mi más sincera admiración por la pasión que pones hasta en los videos.
Hasta que punto, para avanzar, necesitas ir cambiando en la calidad del instrumento. Podrias explicarlo con ejemplos?.
Hola Pablo, mi nombre es Elena y soy estudiante de chelo en España. Me parecen muy útiles los consejos que das. ¿Sería posible que algún día hicieses un vídeo sobre las cosas que llevas siempre contigo en la funda y nociones básicas de lutería? Pienso que es un tema que está muy olvidado en la mayoría de conservatorios y que nos vendrían genial a muchos de nosotros saber algo más. ¡Gracias por tus vídeos! 😀
I love him.
q&A: Which cello concerto is your favourite? Do you plan to play elgar concerto with an orchestra? Are you going to do some europe touring in normal times? I'd really want to see you live in Poland :)
P.S. for me it's like I'm so bad, I can't really play, what's the point of this, but the next day I'm practicing hard and moving forward:)
Q&A: Para ti, ¿Qué es lo esencial al abordar frases lentas y largas? Relacionado al vibrato, rubato, control del arco y colores.
PD: Amor eterno a tus videos, los mejores consejos viniendo de uno de los mejores. Saludos Pablo.
Q&A: hola pablo, cuál crees que es la mejor manera para mejorar los cambios de colores o timbres?? y cómo crees que se puede tocar mejor una frase muy larga sin perder el interés de la frase?? gracias!!
Thank you Pablo! Wonderful qna session as always! Are you going to upload Dvorak concerto open practice? That would be so insightful.
Q&a algún consejo para desarrollar mi musicalidad?
Q&A: Me gustaría saber si estudias con sordina de estudio o con silent cello y que beneficios o contraindicaciones le encuentras. Me he comprado uno de segunda mano para estudiar por la tarde- noche sin molestar e inesperadamente me ha ayudado a quitar mucha tensión de mi mano izquierda.
¿Qué te parece?
Q&A: cómo llevas tocar con un cello que no es tuyo, no te asusta que se te pueda romper?
Q&A : I never understood and I think I will never understand until someone tells me, do you know why some cellists take off their shoes to play during the rehearsal in the theater?😂 many thanks and have a great day
Boa tarde❤👋
How to learn music/an instrument when you're too poor, there are no teachers or instruments in your area and you're an emotional mess who can't focus on anything for more than 10 minutes without wanting to just... >.< ...because you so desperately want to express whats inside of you but its trapped behind poverty and years of learning a million things that may or may not even be capable of fulfilling that need to be understood via music.
In other words, I want to make music since I feel like its the only way to express myself or make peace with many things in my life, but I'm too poor and too fragile to even be able to. I can't even pay for a bus ticket so lessons are impossible and I'm too emotionally weak to strive for years to get at the level I need to be to do what I want to do. I feel so trapped and it hurts so much.
Music is for rich beautiful people and I'm just... nothing :(
how about singing?
@@SUNshine-jv2we Like I said, I'm too poor for lessons and people can't just teach themselves. There's nothing worse than terrible self-taught technique or a damaged amature voice from trying to do super hard stuff.
Plus, I can't just spend all day screaming to myself trying to what, learn opera or something, with people around me complaining all the time.
I appreciate the suggestion, but c'mon, think it through :/ thats so impracticle.
@@satyasyasatyasya5746 you don’t always need formal training for art
@@nathanrock9269 Yes you do. Almost all artforms require training. If not training, then knowledge and guidance from someone who knows WTF they're talking about. Plus, again, all of it one way or the other, takes money - which I don't have.
You can't just google stuff, its a wild west of nonsense out there. Theres no way to know who is giving good or bad advice.
@@satyasyasatyasya5746 Yeah, I feel you, I have friends like this, they are probably really lucky to have me as a friend, because I bought them a ukulele and found some horrible old guitar (you cannot use it as a normal guitar, but it can be played beautifully in its own way), because I am not really rich myself, so I do what I can. I also give them some guidance, teach some theory and we converse about music in general, which I think is quite important to develoup musically. I am currently studying cello, because in my country you can study music for free (you need to prove you are skilled enough doh, and I was really lucky to find an old man who was happy to give away his beautiful russian cello for 160 euros, which if you are not familiar with cello prices is basically for free), but I also compose and am interested in music in general etc., but honestly, I do not think you really need formal education for more than basics, and maybe, if you are studying in quite an advanced field, like cello playing, which indeed takes many years, if not a lifetime to master. My recommendations would be: TAKE BABY STEPS! (nothing happens immediately, and you should not expect anything to happen straight away, every little music related thing you do adds up over time) PERSIST (do not give up, EVER! even if you feel like you are not making any progress, it is there, it just needs a lot of time to be noticable) DO NOT WAIT FOR LUCK, FIND IT (good things also happen, but quite often you need to find the opportunities) EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED (I would kindly recommend fixing your mental health and life at the same time as well, because it all affects you, you need to work on yourself, because you cannot give anything, if you need help yourself) MUSIC IS NOT EASY (even the pros fear the judgment, you will never feel good enough, to be worthy showing others your work or getting involved with other musicians, but it is crucial for development,and at the same time is fu**ing hard and mentally exhausting, because you will be judged reguardless of how good or bad you are, you just need to find your own way to not be bogged down by the critics).
I hope this helps somehow!
