Hello, I'm a housewife living in Korea. I started playing the violin over 40 years old and I'm learning vibrato now. Your vibrato is very soft and beautiful compared to other performers. I think the sound of your vibrato connecting gracefully is so beautiful. I will look forward to your performance in Korea in the future.

The most beautiful version of Humoresque. I have no idea WHY always another versions were trying to hurry up through this so fantastic piece of music which is just like an piece of someone's heart... I do love it and from now I'll only play it this way! How mature is the way Augustín is playing, whatever he touches!❤🌹👏😘

I had to play this piece at a wedding for two hours straight (the groom's request) and after that time I always had some disgust for humoresque but after listening to this version I've found again the beauty of it... Thank you! I know it's subjective but it's the best version I've listened so far! Great interpretation like always maestro!!!

[mrbluebird]

i never thought this could be this beautiful. i was playing this as a beginners piece, but this is something else, it makes your soul wander in a peaceful part in this chaotic world

[gideoncheung]

I don’t really know why, but me, having lunch at 3pm right now and happening to click into this video, and just as the soft whispers of the violin sounds, I want to cry😭😭😭

As always, the song of a violin cannot be matched by anything. I played for almost ten years and gave up because I was a child busy with exams and scales were boring and difficult, but the violin, when played well, is still most heavenly.

At 1:45, it just gives me the chills. It is so full of passion and love for music, it makes me so inspired to play it. Even after I had to play this for a festival, award ceremony, and provincials.

3:22 pure talent and years of sacrifice and passion

[dozeofaudio]

I keep coming back to this version without knowing why. Then I started to play more attention to the way he played, and the fingering is actually insane. If you look closely, he never uses his pinky (the finger weakest for vibrato) except once at 1:55. In the slurs, he never switches strings, but would rather play positions much higher on the fingerboard so that it's more smooth.

The most captivating Humoresque I've ever heard ❤

Violin plays a wonderful sound, Dvorak plays it sooo beautiful, best violin player

[felipejacob]

This songs reminds me of a scene in Thomas Mann’s Dr Faustus. Towards the end of the book the main characters go on a road trip to the mountains and there is a fiddle player on a tavern. One of the characters, a renowned concert violinist, picks ups the guy’s instrument and performs this Humoresque to everyone’s awe.
It is the last happy moment they share together before WW2 breaks out and all hell breaks loose. Hearing it always makes my heart pang.

This is a great violinist playing a great song! I thought my violin teacher was the best violinist in the world. After hearing this I take that back.🎻🎻🎻

[xxxx-iukd]

It’s late August at night, and the crickets are chirping outside. I’m in tears listening to this, sitting and contentedly experiencing this interpretation.

[Gabacarin]

This touches the heart 🥲. Thank you! 🙌🏻 the world is blessed to have you to make violin sing the way it always wanted to.

[chiiko]

Mr. Augustin's interpretation is fantastic as always ♥️

[fanyu]

This is my favorite one out of all of them and I loved the part he play two strings at the same time

[deepeningknowledge]

I watched this may be more than 100 times. Still, it is so smoothing and to watch the fingering on the violin. Just simply loved it. Thanks a lot for the video.

I was so SHOCKED to learn this tune was actually highbrow classical music.
When I was a boy, there was an old beggar near the town's church and he used to play this tune on his battered old fiddle.

[klarakatarinakartini]

Hear it after In The Soop Wooga Squad. Very beautiful 🎻🎼
