I noticed via KZitem over many years now that more and more Asians have become violin, piano, and cello virtuosos, winning international competitions left and right. I am an Asian immigrant who came to NYC for graduate studies in my mid-20s and got lucky to have classes in a university campus that’s located just across the street from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the home of the Metropolitan Opera, the NY Philharmonic, NYCBallet, and Juilliard. It was like hitting the jackpot! I’m a Filipino Asian and, although my clan never thought of developing any career in the musical performing arts, most of us listen to classical music and some of us play musical instruments for our own entertainment. My only son who’s a chemist sets aside the time it play the piano and guitar. It’s the early exposure to music that allows deep appreciation for it.

To play at this level, the actual notes are all muscle memory. The fingers themselves remember where to be next after countless hours of practice. This leaves the conscious brain to focus on interpretive concerns such as phrasing, dynamics, colour, etc.

Timothy Chooi maintains in his "short" video of the closing bars that after the world premiere the violinist declared the piece "unplayable." Adolf Brodsky succeeded in playing it at the premiere - knowing full well beforehand that the famous violinist Leopold Auer, to whom Tchaikovsky had originally dedicated the work, had declared it "unplayable" and refused to premiere it. I have heard that in the meantime, violin students are playing it all over the world long before graduating! Nikolai Rubinstein, to whom Tchaikovsky originally dedicated his Piano Concerto No. 1, also declared it unplayable at first sight. After Hans von Bülow premiered it successfully in Boston (!), Rubinstein performed it countless times. Tchaikovsky encountered considerable resistances early in his career, but he overcame them all!
@imtherealFidi
Жыл бұрын
Meh...hardly "unplayable." Maybe when it was first written, but most conservatory violinists will learn this in undergraduate. May play it much better as grad or DMA students but certainly will have played it before undergrad graduation. There are more challenging pieces for violin at this point.

Thank you....exquisite 2nd movement....unlike many violinists Timothy Chooi knows how to get the best out of his muted fiddle...staggeringly so....the seamless shifting in the cantabile sections of the last movement and beautiful winds playing......some of the best soloistic fiddle playing I've seen in years. Great conductor too.

May I be the "first" to inform everyone that Professor L. Auer (Heiftez's teacher) was the first to declare it unplayable. But it was originally dedicated to Professor Auer! That is when Brodsky came forth and said I'll play it...and did. So Mr. T crossed out Auer's name and rededicated it to Brodsky!!! The audience response was TEPID! He continued to perform it. Prof. Auer couldn't stand it and wrote to Mr. T telling him he was going to make some changes (integrating the violin with the orchestra!) He invited Mr. T to join him but Mr. T never showed up. So he made all the changes himself. When Auer's version was performed it was an immediate success...and today Auer's version is the only one played. Also, Heifetz (his 11 year old student at the time) performed it with the Berlin Philharmonic to overwhelming applause. Yes...at 11 years old!
