Creating Instrumental Beauty #shorts

There are so many ways to create beauty on a string instrument. For Amit Peled, it's all about the body and the cello working in tandem in as natural a way as possible. Watch in this clip as he shows how the movement of the arms and elbows, combined with a touch of vibrato, can get the sound to ring. Is this similar to how you create sound on the cello?

Watch his whole course -- available now on tonebase cello!

"chicken wing activated", gonna remember that when playing violin.

“God forbid I add a little bit of vibrato”

I watched Amit Peled perform live last year. I couldn't pick my jaw off the floor after he started playing. Truly a world class performer and teacher.

"Now if I play Bach 4" *plays Bach 2*

You just explained why musicians can be said to improvise, even when they're playing a piece as written, note for note.

I saw him perform Rachmaninov’s cello sonata! It was really good:)

[SustainableGal]

I'm mind blown, this guy is so musically intelligent

[gnamp]

Great results With a little bit of this and a little bit of that...

Shame it’s so cropped you can’t actually *see* his elbow….

[nicolebowman]

That's a crazy difference! I had no idea! (I grew up playing winds.)

[cookies]

I 💯 love and also kinda hate how accurate this comparison is! 😂

[aidanmays]

Totally agree and love the chicken wing thing. I would add that it effects the speed, weight, point of contact. That's why the sound is different

[jennamedlyn]

Great video but one problem. That's Bach 2 not Bach 4

He really said "when i ad the body Ohh My God"😂😂

[joshuaweiss]

Vibrato for cello suites is iffy, since they are baroque pieces

[juliejules]

Why am I watching this? I don't play cello

[kittyplays]

When you hurt your wrist when you fall (like I did), and can't move your wrist when playing, cause it hurts like hell

[fabriceclement]

He really proceeded to demonstrate technics with “La danse des Canards” as premises?

[twildabuckingham]

I'm pretty confused. Why didn't he play the same notes when he was trying to contrast
