I’ve read some of the comments people wrote and see that I’m in the company of many who have been helped by you during the pandemic. Your way of talking has so much warmth and kindness and it so comes through in your music. I literally always listen to you when I have trouble with motivation and your music makes me open up my violin case. You have a gift of directly touching people’s heart. Thank you very much.
What an extraordinary individual you are, Augustin! Your disarming honesty, in the mist of this pandemic, is as much an inspiration as your sublime violin playing. You have set the standard for what we all should do during this time, sharing your enormous gifts with the world. You have made the world a better place, thank you maestro.
Thanks for your work Augustin. You motivated me to return to the Bach solo suites after a 30 year break. I had forgotten just how much deeper the experience is when playing Bach yourself than when listening to others, no matter how beautifully played.
I don't even play the violin, but these Ask Augustin videos have kept me sane during quarantine; you have such a calming presence that listening to you talk about violin techniques I will never use in this lifetime is good for my soul. :D Thank you for these videos, and thank you for posting so many amazing performance videos as well! You're an extraordinary violinist, and we're extraordinarily lucky that you're so generous with your time and music.
Echoing a number of comments, you don’t have to be a violinist to be uplifted by Augustin’s generous videos. We can all share his dedication to understanding music, to making beautiful music happen, and to enjoying it.
You have been a great source of motivation and inspiration for me in these difficult times. I agree , things will get better, especially if we all pull together and support one another. Thank you for such a positive message!
Agustín your videos have been a balm under such circumstances, it has been a great display of generosity and humbleness, as a great violinist you set a mark, an example tu us ordinary violinists. God bless you, thank you!
You're very welcome, Augustin :) Thank you for being candid and honest. And it is incredibly awesome to get to know you through these videos, my favorite violinist is also a great person :)
Augustin's video presence motivates me!!! Augustin's videos motivate me with his tremendous insights; now I just need to find the time to practice what Augustin teaches! We love ya, Augustin!!! You're the greatest living violinist!!!
I’m in my 40s and I still make sure I keep practicing to make sure my piano teacher isn’t disappointed in me! I also play just for the love of music and I enjoy the feeling of improving. I’m currently trying to teach myself the Bach double violin concerto to play with a colleague at work just for the fun of it.
That was a nice shot in the arm ! I had lost motivation for a while, it’s better now. I have enjoyed getting to know you and your work this year. If it were not for covid, I may have missed this wonderful experience. You are an amazing violinist, I am touched by every performance. Thank you Augustin. ❤️
As someone who started violin as an adult only a couple of years ago, I find outside motivation a little difficult to get sometimes, and your videos have been a huge motivation for me! I'm sure they've been so for many others as well, and it's nice to know that the motivation goes both ways. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your playing with us, even giving us our own little project (Florence Price), and for keeping us company during this very strange year!
It’s good to see your face and hear your reassuring voice, again! Glad you’re back! I’m thankful that you were able to do some of your European concerts. The music was beautiful. Thank you also, for caring about all the musicians out here, who need encouragement, as well, over this next winter and spring! ❤️
I fell in love with the sound of your violin even though I hardly know about classical music...don't even play an instrument. let alone reading scores..am one of those typical ignorant general public! Your sound speaks even to my untrained senses. Thank you for your inspiration. Hello from Sydney, Australia.
I wish you a fruitful year and a lot of health to you and your family. I look with great pleasure and listen to your posts on TH-cam and Instagram and I am inspired to continue to practice in music every day. Thank you so much, Augustin!
Augustin, you never fail to say the right words at the right time! Your videos have been a huge blessing during these crazy times. They've been equally entertaining, uplifting, and inspiring, and I for one couldn't be a bigger fan of you and your work now. Thank you for being you, and I look forward to what the new year has in store! Happy New Year from Texas! 🤠
All the videos over the last few months were great even this one to. Motivation is indeed important but can be very illusive in todays times but indeed we must remain encouraged as after every storm there a calm, light at the end of this very, very long tunnel.
Thank you Augustin! You have been a tremendous source of motivation for myself and countless other musicians to continue making music even in the face of such uncertainty in the world. It's inspiring, in a way, to know that even a violinist of your caliber struggles with motivation, and I appreciate your openness with these struggles. You've become one of my favorite violinists over the last nine months, and I'm looking forward to hearing even more from you!
Your ask Augustin videos always feel thorough and true... What you say about motivation makes sense to me, much more than some "motivational" speeches which try to be all "positive" and end up sounding empty (at least to me -those speeches can help some people too and are certainly well-meant). I am touched to know that we as an audience can give you a little in return -because you give us so much -through your performances as well as your Ask Augustin masterclasses... Thank you for all your dedication (I guess making videos requires a lot of time and hard work -on top of practicing)... I hope you and yours stay well.
For me you really hit the spot with this one. I feel pretty much the same. Luckily, most our quartet's concerts were postponed rather than canceled. And we also had the lucky chance to do few on-line concerts. But still, this strange time sucks out energy and sence of joy like a vacuum cleaner. Weird... All the best to you, hopefully, times will ease off soon. Thank you for your W O N D E R F U L L videos!!!
Ich übe gerade mit meiner kleinen Tochter (8) Mozart G-Dur und Wieniaski Chanson Polonaise. Durch Ihre Tipps klingt es jetzt schon ziemlich gut, noch nicht ganz perfekt, aber auf dem Weg dorthin. Vielen Dank für Ihre Mühe und den Gratis-Unterricht. Außerdem hören wir Sie außerordentlich gerne! Ein wunderbarer Ton! Ein neues Gestirn am Geigerhimmel, das weithin strahlt und dabei so uneitel ist.
Thanks for the motivation talk. I do feel and agree that the ultimate drive for us to practice is the love for music, so we will go on even if there is no one in the world to hear us. The passion to make yourself better technically and musically is the reward in itself
Thank you for inspiring your viewers in their violin career! I really appreciate your videos, and many other feel the same. (You are my and my teacher's favorite violinist!)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Augustin! Thank you for your kind heart and for your extraordinary talent! Still can’t forget your performance in Helsinki!
You’re like my musical big brother at this point - I’ve been looking for content like this relating to technique, and after going through so many of your videos and trying things, this video was the cherry on top! I was literally just thinking about this topic today. Wild! Thanks so so much, Augustine! It’s so important we as musicians really continue to pass the torch. This is one of my motivations. You do this so freely, so kindly and so gently!
Thank you for this video. I think that if this pandemic didn't happen,I wouldn't 'discover' your channel and I wouldn't come back to playing modern violin regularly (I played mostly baroque violin before). Thank you so much! Happy New Year and take care! :)
Me an all my violin students have watched most of your videos, you are a true inspiration for us all violin and non violin players. Keep it up AUGUSTIN!
Thank you for making your how-to-play videos, but of course also the performance@home videos. While it is unfortunate that so many concerts have been and still are being cancelled, especially your howto videos have reached an audience that otherwise would never have had the chance to listen to your insights on the various aspects of playing. Your videos made a questionable year a lot better for me, thank you so much. Happy holidays and a peaceful & healthy new year to you and your family!
This is a really wonderful video, thank you so much for your thoughtful perspective. I really appreciate the distinction between physical distance and social closeness. That's really the right thought.
I recently bought the Bohemian Tales album - it’s my first of your albums - and I loved it! These are really brilliant and sensitive performances, and an introduction to some new pieces for me. I would likely never have disovered you except for this pandemic and your many youTube offerings. I’m very grateful that you have shared so much with us, and hope for more in the future.
Thank you so much. I wish you all the best for 2021. 2020 was made much brighter for me after discovering you and then subscribing and following your helpful hints/concerts. I feel so privileged to be able to hear you play.
Thank you for all of the videos you have made, and for the talk about motivation. It is a bit surprising to hear about even the best struggling to practice every day and have motivation, but I am sure that your videos have helped many to find the motivation needed sometimes(I know that this is true for me).
You are an amazing artist and a great person. You don't need to thank us for viewing what are amazing videos which every violinist should see. I hope you will play again in Italy for a public soon, I really would love to hear you especially with your less common repertoire.
Hi Augustin. Great to hear your thoughts. I play some of the (easier) pieces you've recorded, and watching you play then playing myself transforms my sound! Its been a wonderful gift and I can't thank you enough. I relish the thought of watching your new videos. Happy new year.
Thank you for sharing your gift with us all. One of the reasons I love your playing is because your generosity shines through in your playing and interpretations. You have been an inspiration to me during this time. Thank you Augustin.
You’ve motivated me so much throughout this year! I’m an aspiring violinist and I don’t think anyone has ever played quite like you. You consistently astound me with your technique and your unique interpretation. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for this video! I found it very uplifting. I was going to see you perform the Dvorak Concerto in Toronto earlier this year, but it got cancelled. I have really been enjoying the videos you have posted this year and hope to see more. Would you concider doing a video of the Biber Passacaglia? It is one of my favourites!
Your music videos are so nourishing, inspiring and emotive, very important when we are in tough times. I think music helps us so much in feeling connected to Life. Your video performance of Bach-Gounoud's Ave Maria is the best I've ever heard! I'm listening to it many times. Keep up the good work, and thank you again! Happy New Year!
Dear Augustin, your videos have been so motivating for me. I have learned so much as well as been inspired to keep practicing and playing! I look forward to more videos!
hello Augustin: here is Reinaldo de Oliveira from S.Paulo-Brasil. Really I like the way you the violin a lot. Would like to see you playing Czardas, if possible. As far as I know, this music is very beautifull and if you play will much better. tks
Thank You for all your job. Your videos are essential!!! You know, you are my main teacher now, while I am staying at home, and your masterclasses are really helpfull! Take care of yourself too)))
Thank you so so much for all these videos, they are a great source of inspiration, motivation and a great learning learning tool for many I’m sure. Last year, because of the pandemic, a masterclass you were gonna give at my university in Montreal was cancelled and i was so sad about it, but this series of videos is really worth 20 masterclasses, at least! Thank you so much!!
Hey Augustin--Been a while, hope you are happy. Finally, by me, opened up the symphony...but with so many restrictions, only about 1/8 full at most (Houston). No intermission, no food/drinks, no seating in front orchestra section. Most artists definitely playing for the love of the music, certainly not the money (what tickets they have are discounted like 75%). In 2 weeks Midori is coming to play the Beethoven concerto--rumor is she continues to practice up to 12 hours a day...a little crazy given her level, IMO, but like you put so well here, whatever gets one through. Looking forward to when "real" concerts are back and can watch you (and others) on something other than a live stream. Thank you so much for what you do and keep on jamming--many really appreciate your efforts!!!
thank you for inspiring us and spreading your love for music. you made me give paganini a shot-only a tiny excerpt of caprice four-and i thank you for showing me what i am striving for. ciao ciao!
Thanks, you're a sunny person 🙌😊
"Not only make your teacher happy ". Well done!!
Great topic not enough talked about. Thank you so much!!!!
Augustin, one year later your video is still pertinent and appreciated. Thank you for your generosity and for doing what you do so beautifully.
I’ve read some of the comments people wrote and see that I’m in the company of many who have been helped by you during the pandemic. Your way of talking has so much warmth and kindness and it so comes through in your music. I literally always listen to you when I have trouble with motivation and your music makes me open up my violin case. You have a gift of directly touching people’s heart. Thank you very much.

That is very true ♫♪♥
Well put! Honesty and generosity make the difference. Thanks so much Augustin
Thanks for your work Augustin. You motivated me to return to the Bach solo suites after a 30 year break. I had forgotten just how much deeper the experience is when playing Bach yourself than when listening to others, no matter how beautifully played.
Special thanks for video Borodin Quartet 2!!!!
So very thankful for your honesty in sharing what many of us are feeling as well. I continue to look forward to your videos.
❤Thank you so so much for always motivating me!!!! Vielen Dank!

❤👌👏👏👏👏
Glad to see you back Augustin! What you do has really helped make these times easier on me.
You seem to be a very nice person, which is more important than being a great soloist, which you also are. You're really admirable.
I’m in my 40s and I still make sure I keep practicing to make sure my piano teacher isn’t disappointed in me! I also play just for the love of music and I enjoy the feeling of improving.

Hi Augustin! Actually you are my motivation now! And thank you very much for that!🌺🌺🌺
Augustin, I'm Glad to see you back! We missed your video 📹
I wish you a fruitful year and a lot of health to you and your family. I look with great pleasure and listen to your posts on TH-cam and Instagram and I am inspired to continue to practice in music every day. Thank you so much, Augustin!

All the videos over the last few months were great even this one to. Motivation is indeed important but can be very illusive in todays times but indeed we must remain encouraged as after every storm there a calm, light at the end of this very, very long tunnel.

Your self accompanying videos are the only good things that happened for me during this pandemic.

I am really happy to hear your advices. You are such a big talent with a big character.
Thank you for this touching speech. You are our motivation.
We love you Augustin! You gave Me hope and courage to keep on playing and to never forget that the best times are affront of us. ❣
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Augustin! Thank you for your kind heart and for your extraordinary talent! Still can’t forget your performance in Helsinki!

Thank you Augustin for continuing to be a voice for aspiring musicians to listen to when we're feeling a little lost!
Thank you for keeping it real instead of going along with overly positive cheesy fake stuff. Hearing some truth is much more motivating.
Wonderful words, thank you for posting these videos, they made the year less bitter. Looking forward to seeing you in person!
This is a really wonderful video, thank you so much for your thoughtful perspective. I really appreciate the distinction between physical distance and social closeness. That's really the right thought.
Augustin!! I love your music!! What you have motiveates me~!~!~!
Thank you so much!! You're the greatest violinist:D
Welcome back to the US, Augustin!
I recently bought the Bohemian Tales album - it’s my first of your albums - and I loved it! These are really brilliant and sensitive performances, and an introduction to some new pieces for me. I would likely never have disovered you except for this pandemic and your many youTube offerings. I’m very grateful that you have shared so much with us, and hope for more in the future.

Hooray: you’re back! Great video, Augustin. As usual, very thoughtful and nuanced.

....and, Enormous Help to We!....Thank You Augustin for all the excellent videos and insights!!
Merry late Christmas
Thank you, I’m injured at the moment so I can’t play, but your video motivated me to.
I pray you recover quickly. I’ve struggled with ongoing pain, and am trying to avoid injury, currently. ❤️
eres un gran musico, muchas gracias por tus videos disfruto mucho verlos! saludos desde mexico!!
Merry Christmas!
I was there! I heard you live for the first time. It's been an unforgettable experience. Hope you are doing well.
I'm really really grateful with you. Wish you all the best this new year, and thank you so much for doing what you do
Thanks Augustin! Watching your videos (both performing and advice) has provided a lot of motivation to my life in 2020. Stay safe and keep practicing!
Hi Augustin. Great to hear your thoughts. I play some of the (easier) pieces you've recorded, and watching you play then playing myself transforms my sound! Its been a wonderful gift and I can't thank you enough. I relish the thought of watching your new videos. Happy new year.
Thank you for sharing your gift with us all. One of the reasons I love your playing is because your generosity shines through in your playing and interpretations. You have been an inspiration to me during this time. Thank you Augustin.
You came at the right moment! Thank you! Happy New Year!
Great to see you are doing well! Happy New Year.
What an honest and uplifting video! Thank you!
Thank you for this excellent video, I think this is a sign I need to practice haha
Bravo! Sentiment echoed 100%
You’ve motivated me so much throughout this year! I’m an aspiring violinist and I don’t think anyone has ever played quite like you. You consistently astound me with your technique and your unique interpretation. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you a lot for spreading such good music, I hope you will have a great year 2021 and that you will be performing in France soon !
Thank you😸
I loved your interpretation of famous pieces. please keep making more videos
Thank you Augustin, nice to see you back. You have motivated me to start practicing again!
Thanks for this video! I found it very uplifting. I was going to see you perform the Dvorak Concerto in Toronto earlier this year, but it got cancelled. I have really been enjoying the videos you have posted this year and hope to see more. Would you concider doing a video of the Biber Passacaglia? It is one of my favourites!
I second this! Imagining Augustin playing Biber passacaglia gives me goosebumps already
Your videos and similar have motivated me to start violin....and I'm on the wrong side of 50.
Thank you so much for everything and happy holidays! ❤
Your music videos are so nourishing, inspiring and emotive, very important when we are in tough times. I think music helps us so much in feeling connected to Life. Your video performance of Bach-Gounoud's Ave Maria is the best I've ever heard! I'm listening to it many times. Keep up the good work, and thank you again! Happy New Year!
Gounod, sorry.
Hello, Your performance is always the best. 👍Thank you for your passion,😊 Happy New year.🎊
Dear Augustin, your videos have been so motivating for me. I have learned so much as well as been inspired to keep practicing and playing! I look forward to more videos!
Thank you for those most inspiring words... All the best to you and yours... ☮️
hello Augustin: here is Reinaldo de Oliveira from S.Paulo-Brasil. Really I like the way you the violin a lot. Would like to see you playing Czardas, if possible. As far as I know, this music is very beautifull and if you play will much better. tks
Keeping in touch through music. Thanks for this, Augustin. Inspirational as always. 😊
hi! welcome back! happy holidays to you too 💕
Thank You for all your job. Your videos are essential!!! You know, you are my main teacher now, while I am staying at home, and your masterclasses are really helpfull! Take care of yourself too)))
Thank you very much Augustin! That was exactly what I needed this morning!
Thank you so so much for all these videos, they are a great source of inspiration, motivation and a great learning learning tool for many I’m sure. Last year, because of the pandemic, a masterclass you were gonna give at my university in Montreal was cancelled and i was so sad about it, but this series of videos is really worth 20 masterclasses, at least!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you too! 🥲 Please keep making these awesome videos 🥲
Thank you so much for all of your videos, especially this one.
Yay! Glad you are back, and glad you had a chance to play live! Looking forward to more of your videos! They are a huge part of MY motivation! :)
Thank You Augustin! Your videos have been inspiring and helpful. Have a wonderful new year!
Hey Augustin--Been a while, hope you are happy. Finally, by me, opened up the symphony...but with so many restrictions, only about 1/8 full at most (Houston). No intermission, no food/drinks, no seating in front orchestra section. Most artists definitely playing for the love of the music, certainly not the money (what tickets they have are discounted like 75%). In 2 weeks Midori is coming to play the Beethoven concerto--rumor is she continues to practice up to 12 hours a day...a little crazy given her level, IMO, but like you put so well here, whatever gets one through. Looking forward to when "real" concerts are back and can watch you (and others) on something other than a live stream. Thank you so much for what you do and keep on jamming--many really appreciate your efforts!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us Augustin!! Your videos have been so helpful and motivating 🤍 happy new year!!
Missed you, good to have you back.
thank you for inspiring us and spreading your love for music. you made me give paganini a shot-only a tiny excerpt of caprice four-and i thank you for showing me what i am striving for. ciao ciao!
