This was so helpful. I'm not up to the fast playing here in Belfast, ME, and have been struggling with how to accompany the melody players when I can't keep up with the melody notes.
I HAVE LOOKED & LISTENED WITH AWE, TO YOUR EXQUISITE TEACHING & PLAYING STYLE. I ALSO LOOK AT YOUR ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL VIOLIN. YOU DID RESPOND TO A QUESTION FROM ANOTHER PERSON WHO SAW WHAT I SEE. THE REASON YOU MENTIONED THE FIDDLE AS BEING SOMEWHAT CRUDE , @ THAT IT'S A FACTORY FIDDLE MADE ME FEEL I HAD TO RESPOND. IF YOU THINK THE BUTTON & HEEL ISN'T GRACEFUL, IT IS BECAUSE IT WAS RECARVED (WOOD TAKEN OFF) TO LENGHEN THE SPACE FOR THE HAND TO MOVE. THE PART THAT IS MISSING WAS TRIANGULAR. ALMOST CATHEDRAL LOOKING. YOI HAVE A VIOLIN HANDMADE IN PARIS DURING THE GOLDEN PERIOD. BEFORE 1736. THE BEAUTIFUL DARK COLOR IS NATURAL ACID DARKING THE CHESSNUT BROWN COLOR. YOUR TREASURE IS ALMOST 300 YEARS OLD. ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO, I ACQUIRED A FIDDLE FROM AN OLDER PERSON FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE BY THE SAME FAMOUS MAKER, ONLY DIFFERENCE, THE NECK, BUTTON IS NOT ALTERED. JACQUE BOCQUAY, PARIS 1736.
The backup parts sound great! Thanks!!!
Nice video, I learned a lot. If I was playing backup I would play the 4th and 5th options.
Thank you, Liz, for a beautiful, efficient and clear piece of work. Well done 👏👏👏
This was so very helpful. Thank you!
