I agree completely. In fact, I don't know why you say "main player". There's no such thing; from composition, Beethoven treats both parts equally (unlike Haydn or even Mozart)

I phrased it like that so readers would know what I meant, but you are correct in that it takes two hands to clap in every duet and one hand shouldn't be singled out for more recognition than the other since they both produce the sound and one cannot do so without the other.

Not to mention that Beethoven calls those Sonata for the Pianoforte and Violin and not simply Violinsonata which gives you a clue that this is a work for partners. I have to say though that I'm not a fan of them omitting the repeat in the first movement. Beethoven is all about structure. You don't mess with repeats in his music. They are not up for debate, they need to be played. Just as Brahms is on record saying: "I have my reasons when I write a repeat."

Yes the piano part is very difficult

Agree

I do not mean to be annoying, but it worth mentioning that he is just working on the interpretations and not technique or other matters, so it is not really a master class.

@@romeovashishthviolin9384 you are annoying

Jeris Kaso I dont think it's the violin necessarily but yes if the violin is good you should play better but generally speaking the two are seperate violin and player and a bad player cannot bring "life" into a good instrument but it should always be a joy to play a good instrument but in reality the two things are completely seperate and it comes down to state of mind, really that is the glory of the man or woman.

Be sure: The things which you reflect and do, that what really matters for you, has a strong influence on your appearance. Devoting your life to music by studying an instrument as seriously as these people do will not only change your personality but, believe it or not, even make you physically attractive. Some people make the same observation as you did and take a completely wrong primitive conclusion: that only beauties are admitted to an important stage, only "cuties" and "hotties" can make a musical career. What a nonsense. Top musicians develop a particularly subtle sensitivity, externally expressed in all of their facial expressions, gestures, movements. Great to have them. Now look at our politicians to see the difference.

I’m a musician and Iook like shit

@@Pitborn That explains it nicely. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@@Pitborn That’s an interesting point, and I agree there’s probably some validity to it. I would also like to just throw some considerations out there that might contribute to the conversation. Attractiveness is highly correlated with high socioeconomic status. Basically, if you’re wealthy, you’re more likely to be good looking, and vice-versa. Moreover, being wealthy (or being from a wealthy background) significantly increases ones chances of becoming a successful musician. If your family is worried about where their next meal is coming from, they can hardly afford to pay for a piano instructor when you’re five years old, or send you to a prestigious university when you’re 18. Not only that, but they’re less likely to have developed an appreciation for the arts, and therefore less likely to have passed it on to their child. Financial stability means people can enjoy the finer things in life, develop a taste for classical music, and put in the many hours required to master an instrument. Being from a poorer background makes all of those things harder, and, to tie it to back to my original point, is also negatively correlated with physical attractiveness. Therefore, I guess I’m saying my hypothesis, if you want to call it that, is that so many musicians are attractive because they come from wealthy backgrounds. Or more specifically, being a successful orchestral musician is positively correlated with being from a wealthy background, and being from a wealthy background is positively correlated with physical attractiveness. I haven’t given any examples or explanations as to the correlation between economic status and attractiveness as I think it’s pretty self explanatory, and also because there is so much clear evidence of this in the literature a quick google (or better yet google scholar) search will return more evidence than you can poke a stick at.

Arcana hahhahahahahhaha

I so agree and what a wonderful bright personality .

Hello Ashton, my man, suprised to see you here :) I like your videos as well, very informative.

dina vainshtein her name is in the description

None of the two is male...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin then go to chapter "Construction and mechanics" and see illustration next to it. Does that answer your question?

I guess you mean the cover on the chinrest. I entered "pad for violin chinrest" into Google and got several hits. E.g. www.caswells-strings.co.uk/product/gelrest-chinrest-pad/

That is true. I request for my friend to be made Sir Benjamin!
