I love it! She is in touch with the spirit of the instrument! The idea of it’s cellular structure “waking up” is beautiful!

Ofc not, changing the strings instead of remaining to use gut is killing the spirit

Lovely playing Teng Li and wonderful instrument. I also like the fact that you played music that was probably known by this instrument.

Everyone seems to love to hate the viola, but still Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Rossini, Donizetti, Mendelssohn, Dvořák and even Paganini were fond to play it.

Nice to meet such a succesful viola player !! You mentioned Beethoven might have played these cello suites on this viola. Are you sure about that? From what I know Casals discovered the Bach Cello suites when he was 13 at the end of the 19th century in spain

Fun fact Beethoven’s Viola was made by Sebastian Dallinger a famous luthier in Vienna. And the luthier I go to Olaf from twosetviolin has a Sebastian Dallinger violin in his shop.

Incredible to think that Beethoven probably played chamber music on this instrument. The way you play this viola so beautifully I imagine his soul inside the instrument.

Super short clip. Great playing. Give us some detail on that instrument please. Maker, year, etc.

It would be good to know who the maker is of the instrument. A very useful piece of information that has been omitted from the video.

@doumne 5 жыл бұрын

Violin manufacturer Sebastian Dalinger (1735-1809) from Vienna is said to have built the viola around 1780.

@@doumne Thank you. I also found it a moment ago on an article about the video The Strad posted on FB. Thanks again though.

Why do you change the strings? Taking off those gut strings was the most useless thing ever
