![]() ![]() I'm sorry to disagree so strongly with Jeff Jetson, but after watching your video I think you would be doing yourself a tremendous disservice trying to work on Kreutzer No.After playing the edited editions, I have students look at this one (archaic markings and all) in order to get a sense of what has happened to pieces of music over time due to editing. Someone has kindly done the work of taking the scans of the original and converting them to black/white for easy printing. On IMSLP you can download and use the first edition (reissue) from the mid-1700's from Estienne Roger. There's lots of pieces out there that teachers use because they are useful for teaching specific skills, but don't expect their students to have to play in public. The "silly" editing on Nachez edition makes the work more difficult, and while it may not satisfy the HIP folks, passages like those twisting arpeggios and irritating bowing patterns are useful for technical development, regardless of their perceived musical merit. A six year old by comparison has neither the physical makeup nor an instrument that behaves in the expected manner to do it the same way. It's one thing for an older player with a full-size (or close to) instrument and a balanced, 60 gram bow to execute martele and detache strokes that satisfy the demands of Historically-Informed Performance on modern instruments.Thanks for the tip about the leaning and square first finger! So far, I really enjoy playing in 3rd position and it will be nice to use it in the concerto. But I will now start doing the Suzuki's position exercises. ![]() so I will need a lot more vibrato Heath: I'm using the 3rd position book by Heather Broadbent and also the Laoureux violin method for learning 3rd position. For now my vibrato doesn't sound too bad, but it seems like I can only do it for a short time, like 2 or 3 seconds, and then my finger stops. ![]() I will now dedicate more time on it on a daily basis, because it would be nice to add vibrato when playing this concerto. I haven't spend much time on it yet, sometimes a couple of minutes. I started yesterday and I really like it! I did start learning vibrato some months ago but I've never focused very much on it.
