If I remember correctly (this was a while ago), we just used the delay on the mixing board. I remember we had to play with the delay to get the right 1-second timing. I recorded the live part with the delay while listening to the track only through the headphones. And then we added the backing track to the the recording. Hope that helps.

Thanks Paulina.

Thanks for weighing in. Regarding your first two points, I'd say it's entirely subjective. 1. "Stability" is in the eye of the beholder and, 2. the choice of stroke here is up to the candidate to make their clearest rhythmic argument. (That said, be prepared to play most discretionary passages differently if the committee asks for it. And perhaps we have different definitions of "legato.") And regarding point 3., I'm not sure I understand the question. But I suspect my response is that dynamics are relative, not fixed. My approach is to treat *auditions* as a clarifying exercise, not a performance. And sometimes clarity means shading the ink, not blind fealty to it.

@@roberth.simonds7051 No worries. I have played Don Juan so many times in my audition videos (my channel), and I have my 2nd live audition tomorrow! So was checking audition tapes just to get everything ready

Thanks for listening, Dehan. I hope the video helps and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for listening!

Thanks for listening, Olivia.

Kathy, Thank you for listening and the kind words. I am glad this music moved you.

Thanks for listening, Drew. Far be it from me to turn down a comparison to Josh Bell! I love the versions you named too. When I was living in Kentucky, Loveless's cover inspired me to make this.

@@roberth.simonds7051 Mr Simonds I strongly appreciate the effort you made. I am an old Kentucky soul. A coal miner, blaster and caver. Married underground. I suspect if you spent time in eastern Kentucky mountains it would Flavor and enrich your playing. Like i said. It is a ky. Thing.

I'd pay to hear that!

Thanks for kind words, Debashis

@@roberth.simonds7051 Pleasures all mine sir. Looking forward to hearing the Sonata no 11 , in scordatura, Resurrection, from the Mystery Sonatas. What instrument do you use.Not that the instrument is very important in the hands of an accomplished artist such as yourself,but just for academic interest it would be good to know. Regards from a dilettante.

@@debashismitro3255 You're too kind. The violin was made by Mario Bedocchi in 1927.

Thanks, Cameron

Up bow!

Thanks for listening, ADL

Thanks for listening and for the kind words, Richard. Mason is one-of-a-kind.

@@roberth.simonds7051 You are welcome. I featured this video on my Leading Musicians facebook group 3 days ago. I just sent you a facebook request, and I can send you an invite to the group once you are a friend. Love for you to check it out. Perhaps post more of your work.

Travis! Talk about memory lane! Thanks for listening and hope you are well.

Thanks, Alexander

Thanks, Jeff

Thanks for listening and glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening and for the kind words, Christian.

Thanks for listening, and it's both. There is a backing track and a one second delay of the live instrument.

The joke goes something like: The difference between a violin and fiddle is how much whiskey the player's had to drink. Thanks for listening.

Incredible how you ‘plucked’ the violin to mimic a banjo Awesome!
