Amazing. I am not a violin player but do play pieces written for violin, These videos help a lot to achieve stuff like harmonics that is not peculiar to my instrument. THANKS A MIL! I wish I came across with your channel before I played Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy.

I appreciate your videos so much. I am currently working on Saint Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso and am struggling with the long upbow spicatto (or is it upbow staccato). Would you address this in a video to help me and possibly others? It would mean the world to me coming from a knowledgeable professional as yourself. 🙏🙏🙏

Hi :-)
Could you please make a video about sound production? I would be interested to know your thoughts on how a good forte sound should be made in your opinion - through adding a vertical weight to the index finger or using a flat wrist and pulling/pushing the bow (more of a horizontal weight)? I have found there is a different kind of sound in the US that is more direct and penetrating and seems to be made with a low wrist and arm weight. In Europe, sound seems to be less direct, lighter and a bit more flexible but not usually as loud… would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks 😊

Sometimes I have the impression that when playing the fourth finger light during an artifical harmonic is a little bit higher than when playing just that fourth finger as a single stop (just normal note). Is that right?

Sometimes notation is confusing for me. Some excerpts examples would be appreciated.
